For how many rounds did Pacquiao hold back and take it easy on Margarito, as I heard that the HBO presenters apparently commented on a number of occasions something along the lines of: "Pacquiao is just carrying Margarito now, he's pulling his punches, holding back his power, trying not to hurt him any more."

I am not sure with the 11th round, but he definitely held back on the 12th.

Probably only the 12th round

Definitely the 12th.

I'd say the 12th. It was too obvious.

Mid fight it looked like Pac was taking it easy to get his breath back, in the 12th he didn't want to take any risks.

11th and 12th rounds

Honestly, I felt that in the mid rounds he could've stopped Margarito. In the 11th during the clinch he told Margie that he would carry him the rest of the way, that was clear..

Starting on the 11th, he was already twice looking at the ref.
