How was Marquez able to drop and stop Pacquiao?

[Athrun340]

I have a theory. Pac was probably abusing Toradol - which blocks pain receptors. Pac has a history of blocking punches with his face.

well....Eventually his body/mind shut down in dramatic fashion. that's why he was laid out on the brink of death when he got caught flush.


Toradol is too dangerous for boxing.

Toradol is ibuprofen in IV form. It's an anti inflammatory and mild analgesic. It's not a wonder drug. Otherwise, you wouldnt see people with chronic pain getting addicted to narcotics and marijuana if toradol is the strong pain medicine you're making it out to be.

Steroids..

Pac also stumbled and fell into that punch that knocked him out cold. All that steroid talk had nothing to do with the knockdowns.

The first Pac Knock down. The looping over hand right. Marquez always lands that on Manny in their first 3 fights Pac never went down, but in the 4th fight with Memo. The differnce was clear.

Yeah, the first KD is the su****ious one as Pacquiao sees it coming, got his guard up and it still drops him.

Not at all. Pacquiao is off balance and not in a position to brace for impact (stood on 1 leg), he gets caught right on the button.

A great right hand delivered via juice!

Pacquiao took flush shots from heavy-handed guys like Thurman, Rios, Margarito, Mosley, Oscar, etc and has never come close to ever going down. He actually has a legendary chin.

Yet little 40year old Marquez who couldn't stop guys like Alvarado, Juarez, Fartchenko, etc was able to knock Manny Pacquiao down, and later put him unconscious with single shots. Why?

I've always found this scene bizarre.

Okay idiot who has no clue about boxing, who probably never watched jmm beside the pac fights. Jmm has 1punch ko power, there is a reason why his nickname is dynamite in Spanish, jmm was koeing fighters his entire career, if you gave jmm the chance to land a timed flush punch it’s over. Pac learned that the hard way. This is to all the idiots who are posting about jmm power just watch his dam fights and you will shut the hell up about his punching power

PEDS. Marquez was roofed out of his mind with pacquiao in that fight.

Go look up what NFL players say about it. It takes all their pain away and makes them feel like they can run through a wall. The NFL teams wouldn't be shooting up their players and damaging there health if it did nothing.

respect to marquez for that devastating ko he gave to pac.
i always thought the first kd was perfect timing, pac is off balance standing on one foot then bam.
the second one though is. i dont know. you can look at every angle but he stepped on pacs foot.
