Comments Thread For: Roach on Pacquiao's Loss, Retirement, Ring Return

For **** sake, watch the fight again. Manny always lands a lot of punches, but marquez was landing punches from round 1! Round 5 when pac knocked him down was his only dominating round. Pac was seriously dazed from the first knockdown, didnt learn from it so he got punched into next week. So no he didnt fight a great fight. He needs to stay away from Marquez, Marquez is simply the better man.

Right....Juans plan was to get a knockdown, then get knocked down, then get busted up, bleed profusely, lose all of a round, then with one second left, assume a lunge and get the KO with one second left. Gotcha

I was expecting this fight to be like the first one, and it went that way until the KO. Definitely thought this was the best Pacquiao we've seen in a while and I don't think the KO will affect him going forward. If anything, age is the only thing he has going against him. Only time can tell.

Pacquiao and Roach both said that he would be way more aggressive in this fight and go for the KO, and they paid for it. I'm sure that they know now that Manny can't afford to fight that aggressively anymore and he'll go back to the way he fought against guys like Cotto.

Juan Manuel Marquez ain't Miguel Cotto technical wise.

Who knows but Juan was waiting to land that punch and you can see it as Pacquiao is coming in. He said he was going for the KO before the fight so it's not so hard to believe. If you go for the KO, you're bound to leave yourself open and take punishment. Look what happened to Manny going in for the KO.

Marquez is like an adjustable spanner,pretty much able to crack any nut!!!!

Manny looked great no need to retire. He had Marquez all bloody he was controlling the 4th and 5th round. Manny thought he had Marquez in check but Marquez had Manny in check and he checkmated Pac.

Manny wasn't fighting a great fight. He was more aggressive and looked better offensively. Defensively he was pretty effin terrible. When you get put on your ass twice (once on your back, once on your face) within six rounds, and end up KTFO, you didn't fight a great fight.

Yeah pretty much this. Marquez kept landing those big right hands, specially in round 5 after the knock down. Marquez landed a huge right hand that it even turned Pacquiao sideways. Was surprised how well Pac took that punch. It was the same kind of punch that put him to sleep

Othe

Marquez plan was to be more aggressive that's for sure. He was trying to shock Pacquiao with one punch specially when he was coming in. Even in between rounds Nacho asked him to be more aggressive. I don't think they where expecting a KO but they sure where trying to land a solid shot to gain Pacquiaos respect. If they fight again expect a more cautious fight from Marquez
