Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: Marquez Got a Lucky Break in Our Fight

I find it funny how people is hating on manny for feeling like this but Marquez went on and cried for many years that he won all 3 fights. How is this any different from what manny is doing now?

The difference is that there is no debate to be had over who won the last fight as there were with the other three.

I'm not hating on Manny. In fact it's pretty natural to maintain his confidence by writing off what happened to him as lucky (for Marquez that is). Doesn't change the truth just makes it easier for him to deal with and get back in the ring (which I respect him for).

Guess we can call the finishing blow vs Hatton lucky then...

Pacquaio was already dominating the Hatton fight.

Pacquaio was also dominating the Marquez fight, check compubox and the score cards. Marquez did get a lucky break, because he was in trouble and losing.

And thats putting it very mildly

Marquez was badly hurt and had a broken nose with blood flowing everywhere

Had that lucky punch never happened, Marquez probably would've quit on the stool or got knocked out in the first minute of the 7th round.

How much trouble could he be if he had put manny on his ass already?? That KO was coming sooner or later. I guess manny has been listening to his idiot fans on this website LOL. Lucky? GTFO

Like he did in the first fight? If Marquez has proved anything in his career it's his toughness.

That the punch happened WHEN it did could be considered fortunate but his ABILITY to throw it can't. He did it over and over in that very fight. His intention pre-fight was to knock Pacquiao out and he fought in a way to carry that out.

You could essily say that Pacquiao was lucky to score that one KD in fight 2 because he was outboxed and out landed in that fight. It got him the split in a hard fight he could've lost. But his ability to land that punch wasn't down to luck.

Pac deserves credit for getting back in the ring but Marquez deserves full credit for4 knocking him out. I don't expect Pac to give to him but boxing fans should.

I can understand Manny saying this and feeling this way, but he didnt get hit with a no looker, it was a perfectly timed counter he was hit with when he was rushing in to finish the fight. Marquez did exactly what he should have done, and given the pressure he was under deserves massive respect for sticking to his task and not just trying to survive.

If Marquez got lucky, then its like Gary Player once famously said, "The harder I practice, the luckier I get".

Marquez was landing lucky punches all night. He hit Pacquaio with that same lucky right hand about 60 times in the fight. But I am sure if he had fought Pacquaio toe to toe instead of running and counterpunching all night like Mayweather does, Pacquaio probably would have won the fight.

I see what you did there

Their feet getting tangled far more than likely contributed to the amount of damage the finishing punch caused. Lucky, sure.

He stepped on top of JMM's foot!! Happens all the time.

Lucky or no Lucky..
