It's unbelievable that some of Pacquiao's fans are still going on about this foot thing.
Pac fans, go to the 1:00 minute mark of the following video and listen to what Pacquiao's friend Amir is saying.
Now go to this video of HBO's "Face Off" between Pac and JMM. Go to the 6:26 mark and listen to what Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach has to say:
They're stepping on each other's feet because both fighters are trying to dominate the combat zone. For those asking why this didn't happen more often in their first two fights, it should be obvious from the Face Off video that both fighters are clearly aware of the importance of this position and are fighting for it. Pacquiao is a bit more technical now, remember?
Another thing that should be noted; it was a clean fight with both fighters touching gloves after punches strayed and accidental head clashes. On some of these occasions, Pacquiao would point things out to the ref by motioning, such as pointing to his waist when he thought punches might be low or to his head after the accidental clash of heads. He never pointed toward his feet.
Now read the following tweets by Freddie Roach:

sure part of game plan but its ok RT @iam_ninoy: saw vid clip JMM stepped on Pacquiao foot 6 times Is it legal, cheating or unsportsmanlike?
FreddieRoach Freddie Roach
No very common when southpaws face right handers RT @LuckyLindy21: Marquez was consistently stepping on Mannys foot could that cause cramps?
Pacfans, stop with this "foot stepping" BS already. You're embarrassing yourselves.Comment

This is exactly right. Marquez was lifting his whole foot, planting the heeel, and coming down hard with the main part of his foot swuare onto MannyP.'s foot, and staying there as long as he coud, whilst firing off combinations. MannyP on the other hand, unable to move was trying to get away and was more open to being hit. It was blatant, and looked well practiced.Very poor comparison.
On rd.1, it was clearly accidental. Pac immediately took off his foot.
In the rd. 2 two clip, their feet were touching each other, neither was stepping on the other.
On the other hand, on rd. 1 alone, Jmm was stepping on Pac's foot at 1:11. :32, :14 and :11.

On rd. 2 JMM stepped on Pac's foot at 1:06, :26, and one more time just before the round ended.

On rd. 3, the video caught Jmm twice, at 2:29 and :09. 0 for Pac.

On rd. 5, the video showed JMM 3 times, Pac 0. At 1:26, :17 and :14.

On rd. 6, it showed JMM doing it at 1:17.

In just 5 rounds, Marquez was caught on video stepping on Pac's foot 13 times. A great portion of the videos did not include the action taking place below the hips. How many more of these infractions not caught on video is anybody's guess.
Take note also that Marquez was lifting his foot a few inches above the surface and was stepping forward in a straight line towards Pac's foot, not outside of it.
In Pac's case, the videos caught him stepping clearly on Marquez's foot once, only on rd.1, and he took it off in a split second. What these videos clearly showed was Pac trying to put his right foot outside of Marquez's left foot, and he hardly stepped on Marquez.
In the 12th, Marquez not only plonked his whole foot on Pacquiao's, but walked a couple of steps forward on Pacquiao's foot, with MannyP going backwards trying to escape it. REALLY blatant.
The Roach is a fool, I regret to say, for not jumping on this when the slo mo has made it so obvious. He probably didn't see it then, and now, because it's a reflection on his observation powers, won't admit that it was a problem, because that would be admitting his negligence.Comment
