Round 1- Customary cautious start by both, with the pace favouring Marquez. JMM pulls away from all of Manny's power shots, but most of his own right hands are blocked. Some nice body shots and a nice 1-2 about 2 minutes in wins JMM the round. Manny tries to flurry but is countered. 10-9 to Jmm

Round 2- Still a slower pace favouring Marquez. Jmm gets caught more by shots, but still is pulling away from most. Jmm lands a flush left hook halfway through the round. Manny catches him with some nice shots, but again Marquez tries to come back. Marquez really staggers Manny with a 1-2-3, with him clearly winning the round. 20-18, to Jmm.

Round 3- No contact till 1 minute in when Marquez catches him with a few nice shots in close. Still a slowish pace. JMM ducking Manny's 1-2 until he gest dropped at end. Could be a call for a second knockdown when ropes hold him up. Anway 10-8 for Pacqiauo. 28-28 even.

Round 4- Pace speeds up a lot, favouring Manny. Pacqiauo starts landing more as Marquez starts looking for one punch (or is hesitating). Manny starts landing more flush, with Marquez countering still. Manny really looking for the KO. Marquez finishes strong. Most competitive round of fight but I thought Manny won it. 39-38 for Pacqiuao.

Round 5- Jmm face is getting puffy from 1-2's. Seems pretty cautious for first minute, but picks it up later when Pacqiauo speeds up. Manny blocking more of Marquez's shots. JMM landed more significant shots but I prefered the defence of Manny and his higher workrate. 49-48 for Pacqiuao.

Round 6- Close round until haflway when JMM opens up with combinations including a beautiful left uppercut, right hand. He then opens up. Similiair to last round with Pacqiuao have workrate advantage but less significant punches landed. I preffered Marquez. 59-59 even.

Round 7- Marquez starts countering and pace slows again. Nice body shots by JMM. Accidental headbutt opens cut on Marquez, plus he has a bloody nose. Looks worse of, but is using nice combo's. Manny explodes back and pace quickens. In last 30 seconds JMM really hammers Pacquaio, despite a nice 1-2 right at the bell by Pac-man. I still prefered JMM. 69-68 for Marquez.

Round 8- Marquez troubles Manny with punches in the eye and hurts him with a body shot, putting him on ropes. Pacqiauo starts bleeding more. Jmm should jump on Manny but does not. Nice jabs and inside work by Marquez. He rips in more bodyshots, slowing Pacqiauo down. Excellent 1-2, Pacqiauo does well to be standing up. Great round for Jmm, Pacquaio landed few good shots. 79-77 to Marquez.

Round 9- Jmm starts waiting too much on Pacqiauo and starts getting hit more. JMM picks it up in second half, but then starts waiting again. Manny's confiedence is going up and he lands better shots. Flurry at the end. Little happened really, but I prefered Pacqiauo, Marquez didn't do enough. 88-87 for Jmm.

Keep it up...I watched it recently and no matter how much I watch fight one I always score it 115 to 111 Pacquiao and fight two is like 114 to 112 to Pacquiao....from what I remember anyway! Marquez boxes better but dammit, he keeps getting knocked down and on my cards that does enough to give Pacquiao the nod.

Round 10- Manny hurts Maquez and jumps on him, eats a few counters but gets the better of it. Pretty close for rest of round but Pacqiuao wins it due to badly hurting Juan at start of round. 97-97 even.

Round 11- Not much happens until half way in when Marquez lands a nice 1-2 and Manny comes back. Nice body shots by Marquez. Marquez combos landing, Manny can't catch him flush. Fairly close with Pacquiao landing nice shots in the last 20 seconds but I prefered Marquez's clean combo's and his defence. Jmm has a awful cut .107-106 for Marquez.

Round 12- Marquez flurries and boxes. Manny does little for 1 minute. Marquez still ducking under Pac-man's 1-2's. Pacqiauo opens up in second half abd catches Marquez. Marquez knocks Pacquiao against ropes. Definatly a Marquez round with Pacquiao not doing enough and getting caught pretty flush. 117- 115 for Marquez.

Excellent fight, which I really recommend to people who haven't seen it. Excellent ebb and flow but I thought Marquez won by 2 rounds. There needs to be a third fight really.

See, if you gave round 11 to Manny, then it'd have been a draw. This is why I don't get why so many people hate on Pacquiao for getting the nod. The fight was THAT close. after 24 rounds boxed there was 1 point between them if all the cards were added together...madness.

Yes it was extremely close. However I felt on most facets on boxing Marquez was better than Pacquiao. His defence was brilliant for the most part, with him ducking under countless 1-2's. His inside work was much better, his body shots had more effect, he put his shots together better (manny on threw 1-2's, Marquez had more variety) and he pulled away from shots, so he wasen't hit to flush. Yet Manny had the higher workrate, stopped a signifcant number of Marquez's shots himself and got the knockdown. He also should have had another one when JMM fell against the ropes. He also made JMM's cut much worse.
