Los Angeles - Filipino boxing star Manny Pacquiao has matured a lot since his six-round knockout loss to Mexican boxer Juan Manuel Marquez in 2012.
"He has learned a big lesson out of that. He became more cautious and has matured a lot as a fighter," says Restituto "Buboy" Fernandez, a long-time associate and the assistant trainer for Pacquiao.
Fernandez said Pacquiao was winning the fight and was about to finish off Marquez when he became hasty.
"He is a fearless fighter inside the ring. In his desire to end the fight in a convincing fashion just to make the fans happy, he went for the kill in the dying seconds of the sixth round. And he paid dearly for it," recalled Fernandez.
