I still remember Marquez standing in the dressing room with his glove on his chest while Mexico's national anthem was playing looking like he's ready for war.

Same, the day before the fight I made a FB status saying Pacquiao was going to leave the ring on a stretcher.

Don't remember if I actually believed it though, lol.

I remember predicting another close, controversial decision.

That was an epic night to end the series.

Watched it at my house with my nephew and some of his friends. Pure shock when Marquez knocked him out. Woke my wife up with all the commotion

Unbelievable.

I still get chills every time.

One of the greatest nights I've ever stayed up for. I have a story to mine which I'll share when I've finished work

[Gigantes]

When the 4th fight was announced, I remember thinking Bob and Freddy is setting up (not intentionally, but there's no need for a 4th fight) Manny to get knocked out. Then 24/7, Manny himself was saying it was going to be him or Marquez to get knocked out.

Come fight night, after seeing Manny leave his feet and knocked on his ass from that Hulk punch was crazy and I thought daaaaaam. Then in the 5th round, after knocking down Marquez, Manny got hit hard again, which probably cracked the chin, and in the end of 6th, it was silent, looked like a sniper shot him.

Even if Manny didn't go for the kill (Marquez was really hurt) in the end of the 6th, and backed away to let the round finish, I still think the possibility of that Marquez punch happening was still great. Manny was going for the kill whenever he got a chance, and Marquez was on his last lifeline for one more punch, so eventually, it was bound to happen (or Marquez finally getting stopped).

It's not one thing I brag/talk about too much though. When you hire a known steroid cheat and go into a 4th fight when your record going in is 0-2-1 (easily 0-3 without that miscount from the judge in fight 1) and get a victory, it's not as surprising with those facts that you should be able to get a knock out.

Amazing time, i predicted a KO or stoppage knockdowns blood either way, just felt both of them were gona go for it this time n both were predicting KOs

When Marquez drop him in that 3rd round, i got crazy chills n knew it was gona be a stoppage win for either guy

Saw Pacquiao rushing in too crazy very fearless n booom
