    How shocked were you when Pacquiao was knocked out cold by JMM?

    Did it catch you completely off guard?

    Or did you have an idea it could happen based on their previous fights?

    Not as shocked as I would have been if that first knockdown didn't happen already. After that massive right hand dropped Pacquiao and JMM hurt him another time in the fight, it was clear that Pacquiao had to be careful and could get hurt bad in that fight. But despite that it was still shocking to see him out cold.

      Well it was against run of play, PAC was looking good just before ko. And the previous fights you got the idea if they fought again surely PAC would get a ko, not jmm.
      But PAC was overly aggressive so was predictable for a timed shot. The warning signs were there when PAC was on his ass, he was thinking attack and not defense

          I was definitely shocked, but not for the knockout loss itself - Pacquiao had already been knocked out in the past - but for the quickness of the turn of events: from having Marquez in dire straits to being knocked out cold in a split second.

              I will always remember Arum being a pos after that fight he wasn't even concerned about Pacs well being in his interview he was already promoting another fight between them like the greedy lizard he is

                Marquez clapping manny was a surprise and upset

                gives credence to the saying

                1 punch can change the fight

                this ko out cold being unexpected makes the victory sweeter for Marquez

                most brutal ko I see in boxing. manny head snapped back like it was shot off

                manny was out for over 2-minutes. Yeah I timed it

                  Was utterly shocked how it ended so abruptly. The round was about to end and was thinking ok here we go, round 7. Then bam!

                    Funny enough I kind of called it while watching it. I remember saying "Man, Manny needs to be careful. He can get caught" then boom. Lights out.
