Round 6 Knockout Video KO Pacquiao vs Marquez 4 Highlights

Round 6 Knockout Video KO Pacquiao vs Marquez 4 Highlights - GMA, one of the leading TV network in the Philippines, has released in their official YouTube channel a news segment featuring the highlights of the Pacquiao vs Marquez 4 fight.

The words are in Tagalog (translated in English below).

TV Anchor: Friends, a dot was placed at the end of the decade long rivalry between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez on who is the king of the ring. At their fight in Las Vegas, Marquez knocked Pacman twice. The last one ended the fight.

Pacman was knocked out in 6th round and for a brief moment was unconscious. Based on the tally of boxrec.com, 1999 was the last year that Pacman got knocked out.

The breathtaking clash was witnessed by Chino Trinidad.


Round 1 by Chino Trinidad: At the beginning of the fight, our National Fist quickness was visible. It was somewhat a proof, on the promise, that he would return to his ferocious ways for his confrontation with someone who can be considered as one of his closest rival. Even this early, the National Fist punches connected.

Round 2 by Chino Trinidad: The bell hasn’t even rung yet, but Manny Pacquiao is already standing, rushing to a waiting Juan Manuel Marquez. Manny is still on the attack mode.

Round 3 by Chino Trinidad: The National Fist is still aggressive, while Dinamita was somewhat saving his strength. A minute before the end of round 3, something happened that was a surprise to all. For the first time in their long rivalry, Marquez knocked down Pacquiao using a strong right hook. Manny was counted but stood up and continued to fight. Instead of attacking and capitalize on his lead, Dinamita became cautious on attacking.

Round 4 by Chino Trinidad:
The warriors exchange punches resembling a street fight. Pacquiao was like a soldier who became braver after the knockdown on the previous round. But the Mexican didn’t yield, who also poured on strong combinations.

Round 5 by Chino Trinidad: Pacquiao’s aggressiveness hasn’t change. Until the arrival of something that everyone was waiting for. Pacman released his killer left, and Marquez was shook. Manny got a knockdown revenge.

Round 6 by Chino Trinidad: Marquez was bloodied. His mouth was swelling after catching strong punches from the National Fist. Pacquiao capitalize on this, releasing combinations. What looks like a Marquez mouthpiece flew. The crowd at MGM Grand Arena shouted. Like they said, Pacquiao’s fierceness returned. At the sound of the last 10 second mark, both flurry.

A few seconds remaining, Manny was gearing up when all of a sudden… the National Fist landed on his forehead after catching a solid right from Dinamita. Manny couldn’t get up immediately. Jinkee was crying, wanting to be close to Manny. In that moment, a dot was placed at the collision of Pacquiao vs Marquez.

Check out this section, and reload for updates.

Pacquiao vs Mosley Round 1

Manny shoots a left to the body. Shane staying outside. Jab by Shane. Manny being cautious in his approaches. Manny flicks two jabs and a left to the body, no connects. Long stiff jab by Mosley. 1-2 by Manny gets there. Speed showed there. Pacquiao msises a right hook, left to the body lands. Shane really hasn’t landed anything significant in the first 1:50.

HARD body shot by Mosley. That had stank on it. Manny with a HARD left to the body in return. Both guys are showing a ton of respect for each other. Shane keeping distance pretty well. Good right by Mosley pops Manny’s guard back into his face. Right to the body misses from Shane. Manny misses a big left. Both look sharp defensively. Shane with two jabs.

Pacquiao 10-9

Pacquiao vs Mosley Round 2

Manny targeting the body with the straight left. He’s found it nicely once so far. Body shot by Manny, Shane misses a right hand in return. Shane calling him in. Body shot Manny, Shane jabs back to the body. Manny coming forward now. Right to the body by Shane. Hard left to the body by Manny. Neither has landed anything hard upstairs yet. Mosley with two stiff jabs, the second has a right behind it that is blocked, but Manny felt it. Three shots by Manny! Shane woke up there. Shane shoots a right, Manny slips it. Heads nearly come together. Manny’s coming in with his head. Left to the body again by Manny. THere’s the Pacquiao speed! Head and body shots now. Not huge, but he’s showing he can land that. Shane starting to look trigger shy in the second half of this round. Manny throws three and might have gotten Mosley just off balance.

Pacquiao 10-9

Pacquiao vs Mosley Round 3

Stiff right by Mosley, Pacquiao doesn’t back off too far, and Manny starts backing him down again. Manny moving his head, Shane actually mimics it. Pacquiao’s speed is obviously a huge advantage. There’s a left by Manny. Shane blocks one coming from the side. Body shot Manny. This is definitely not — yet — the destroyer Pacquiao. He’s very mindful of Shane’s power. Shane, though, is starting to lay back too much. That’s been the real worry — he can’t pull the trigger.

DOWN GOES SHANE MOSLEY ON A HUGE SHOT! HOLY COW! AND SHANE IS HURT BADLY!

Shane is in bad shape! Manny pouring it on, and Mosley is wobbly as hell, trying to hang on. Pacquiao with a left! Pacquiao’s speed is too much. Pacquiao to the body and head! Mosley is looking terrible in there. I think we’re seeing the end of him, though he’ll survive this round. manny clearly can dent him, and is going to.

Pacquiao 10-8


Pacquiao vs Mosley Round 4

Shane can’t do anything offensively. Twitching, feinting, flicking jabs. Mosley just hugs him now. From nothing. Mosley is cooked. Manny shakes ohim on a left, and Shane falls down when they tie up. Just a slip. Shane lands a right hand counter that does pause Pacquiao. Body shot by Mosley. Hey, throw, Shane. But then he stops. He just cannot stay with Manny Pacquiao and he’s being hurt because he doesn’t see those left hands coming. The jab isn’t huge for Manny, but he’s using it to set up perfectly. Shane is just no longer good enough. I guess I’ve seen crazier comebacks, but this would be amazing at this point. Shane had a round, and it’s because Manny didn’t put the foot on the pedal.

Well, there’s a Mosley left hook. He started getting back into it just a bit late, but he’s still way off.

Pacquiao 10-9


Pacquiao vs Mosley Round 5

Mosley trying to use the jab to keep distance again. His gears are definitely turning. Body shot by Manny. Heads clash a bit, no cut. Manny targeting the body again. Mosley with a good right to the body. And another. Mosley blocks the 1-2 this time. Mosley really isn’t doing HORRIBLY defensively, but offensively he cannot keep up. He can’t win this fight this way without a home run punch.

But this is better. Right hook Manny, left hook Shane. Bang-bang shots. Right hook Manny. Better round for Shane, but he’s still behind in the frame.

Pacquiao 10-9

Pacquiao vs Mosley Round 6

Manny throwing with recklessness a little in the first 30 seconds of this round. Shane just isn’t throwing. He’s waiting, waiting, waiting. Even though he lands a few decent shots, he’s both not hurting Manny, and he’s not even close to the pace of Pacquiao, and this is not a blistering Pacquiao pace.

Manny starting to hunt him. Uppercut lands. Mosley is giong backwards and just not standing his ground. Manny waves him in now. Mosley does not oblige. Crowd is turning on Mosley, and frankly with fairly good reason. Manny hears the boos and starts coming hard at him. Mosley lands a good right hand. Maybe his best punch of the fight. But he does nothing else, and the round ends.

Pacquiao 10-9


Pacquiao vs Mosley Round 7

Pacquiao is just sort of taking every single round a this point. It’s not an amazing domination, but it’s very, very clear that he’s winning. Mosley just cannot pull the trigger. Pacquiao not drilling him this round, but controlling everything. Crowd booing a little again. Now more than a little. Shane just isn’t fighting. I never thought I’d say that about Shane Mosley — even against Floyd it was one thing, even against Mora he TRIED to fight until he was exhausted early, but here there’s nothing.

Mosley is fighting a lot closer to Joshua Clottey than I’d care to admit, and the crowd boos the end of the round pretty damn loudly.

Pacquiao 10-9


Pacquiao vs Mosley Round 8

Crowd booing REALLY loudly now. Uppercut by Shane, Manny fires a left back. Right hand by Shane. Then he ties up for whatever reason. Mosley is looking exhausted. He’s got no gas tank anymore. And once again the boo birds start making some noise. This fight crowd might really be starting to think of this as a pure sham — a pure sham. Shane Mosley is doing nothing. Mosley chops a left hook, it scrapes Manny, and he stumbles off balance, but nothing real big there. Right hand by Mosley. Then he hugs him again. Jesus, Shane, follow up. Left by Shane.

Well, the Shane picked up a tad here.

Pacquiao 10-9


Pacquiao vs Mosley Round 9

Mosley jabbing again, at least. Crowd still displeased but it’s not SO bad at this point. I think there’s a case they’re really just protesting this whole fight even happening. This is like a Mason “The Line” Dixon fight before he took on Rocky Balboa.

Heads collide again. Pacquiao turning up the head with 1:20 left. Pacquiao stalking now. Manny with a left to the body, then clubs him with one upstairs. Manny with the straight left. Shane is doing nothing. Naazim ought to consider ending this. There’s no longer any point to this.

Mosley shoots a right to the body, it doesn’t land. Right hand lands for Manny, then a straight left pushes Shane back.

Pacquiao 10-9

Pacquiao vs Mosley Round 10

Manny pressing a minute into the round, and Mosley is complaining about a headbutt. They have clashed a bunch, but Shane is raelly looking for help in there. Manny gives the impression of coming harder, but then doesn’t, really. Mosley shoves Manny — AND KENNY CALLS IT A KNOCKDOWN?

Unreasonably and crazy unusually bad call by Kenny Bayless.

Now Pacquiao’s pissed and firing with both hands. Right hook stings Mosley. Mosley hurt on a left! 20 seconds in the round! Manny now coming like Manny Pacquiao — right at Mosley, and backing him down.

Pacquiao 10-9


I am not counting that knockdown. It was an OBVIOUS shove from every single angle.

Pacquiao vs Mosley Round 11


Pacquiao coming strong now. He wants the KO. This is a different beast Pacquiao. This is not “I just do my job” Manny Pacquiao. This is “I want to knock this guy out” Manny Pacquiao. Manny just RIPPING him with speed, chasing him around the ring and tagging him. Pacquiao pounds the gloves — he’s ready to end this.

Pacquiao hunting for Mosley. Fans chant “knock him out” — this is like a super corny boxing movie right now. Three punch combo. Shane misses a home run left hook. Manny shoving him back constantly.

Now the crowd is booing again, but Manny comes up. Friend in the room: “It’s like the Clottey fight but walking backwards.”

Pacquiao 10-9


Pacquiao vs Mosley Round 12

Fighters hug — Manny shoves him away. Fans chant “Manny.” The only good thing right now is this is about over. Mosley coming forward. Mosley blatantly holding now. Manny kind of trying to push this, but not really going nuts about it. No reason to do so.

One minute left. Hard shot by Manny. Shane wants nothing to do with this anymore. Manny hitting him, but nothing is going to happen here.

It’s over.

Crowd boos. Legitimately. Loudly.

Pacquiao vs Margarito Play by Play Round by Round

Pacquiao vs Margarito Play by Play Round by Round - We're doing a live round by round of the fight. Check out this section, and reload for updates.

Round 1 - Dominant opening round from Manny Pacquiao, but the question now is whether Manny can hurt the iron-chinned Margarito. At this rate, he’ll wear him down, and this rate is sustainable. Manny takes the opening round without question.

Round 2 - Very close round, both guys showing what they can do offensively, and Manny having more issues with Margarito’s size and power. That uppercut from Margarito could be a very deadly weapon for the rest of the fight. VERY active round.

Round 3 - Pacquiao’s speed proves the difference this round. He’s landing nice, hard shots. Even though Margarito isn’t yet feeling them, this is the sort of work that can add up.

Round 4 - Manny Pacquiao, giving up five inches of height, 17 pounds, and 6 inches of reach, is now dominating. Margarito is falling out of this fight and getting hurt.

Round 5 - So far, this is a lot of fun to watch, but Pacquiao is simply too good, too fast for Magarito, and he clearly has the power to hurt his bigger opponent.

Round 6 - Margarito hurt Pacquiao to the body this round, but it wasn’t enough to pull it out. Manny HAS to stay off the ropes, or he can get in trouble. They know that.

Round 7 - Margarito just will not give up. He’s stalking, pressuring, and staying there. He’s also getting beaten up by Manny Pacquiao. Pacquiao takes another round, mostly dominant, and Margarito is being pounded. His eye is nearly closed shut now.

Round 8 - Folks, this is not as one-sided as it might seem. This is an INCREDIBLE offensive display from both fighters.

Round 9 - Manny’s speed is banging Margarito up, and has shut his right eye. Manny landing more, throwing more, doing more.

Round 10 - Manny totally took him apart. Margarito says he can’t see between rounds. That was 57-to-9 for Manny in punches landed that round. Doctor checking on Margarito.

Round 11 - Referee Laurence Cole, takes a look, but then they go back into the fight. Manny with three hard shots! Manny to the body, then the head! What an amazing performance. For those who know Manny Pacquiao, THIS is amazing. He’s taking a much, much bigger man apart at the seams. Margarito can’t see anything coming at him. Pacquiao is too fast, too good, and too much. Just too damn much.

Round 12 - An easy 12th round and it was all over. Pacquiao walked away with his eighth title in eight weight classes after a dominant, unanimous decision on the scorecards. Against a much bigger opponent, Pacquiao showed off his speed en route to an impressive victory.

Marquez vs Diaz 2 Play by Play Round by Round - We're doing a live round by round of the fight. Check out this section, and reload for updates.

Juan Manuel Marquez VS Juan Diaz Juan Round 1

Marquez with a good left hook, and he’s coming out to be aggressive it appears, shooting his jab first. Diaz not throwing a lot in the first minute. Marquez with a right over the top, doesn’t land square. Marquez goes to the body. Short little trade. They’re not warring right out this time, but Marquez starts throwing bombs. Diaz is tentative in there. And he’s getting hit for it. He looks overmatched already. But there’s a stiff left from Diaz. Right hand scrapes Marquez. Another good right by Diaz! He’s picking it up. Here he comes! This will, without question, fire up sooner than later. Good first round.

Marquez 10-9


Juan Manuel Marquez VS Juan Diaz Round 2

Daiz trying to get inside, and there’s Marquez waiting for him. Every little exchange they have is hot. Brief, but hot. Marquez gets a body shit, Diaz clips him with a right upstairs. Diaz jabbing, Marquez trying to keep him back with his own in return. Diaz is clearly not as intent to war this time. And a good left hook, and another from Diaz. He’s not fighting poorly at all. What he did last time didn’t work, so he’s trying to switch it up. I can’t help but think Marquez will adjust and find a way to batter him, but so far this is quite interesting and a good fight.

Marquez really wants to war. You can feel it. But Diaz isn’t letting him do it just yet. Diaz wings a massive left that misses, but ends the round with a decent hook.

Diaz 10-9
19-19


Juan Manuel Marquez VS Juan Diaz Round 3

Diaz’s corner wants the jab setting up the right hand.

Marquez is locked in trying to catch Diaz coming in on a counter, and Diaz is doing a good job so far not getting caught with those shots. Marquez is throwing so much harder than Diaz, but Diaz is doing a lot of good work too. And Diaz is making him miss more than last time. Now here they go for a second — but Diaz again calms himself down. Then unleashes some shots to the body. Crowd is getting hot. And rightly so, this is a very good fight so far.

Marquez starting to catch Diaz with those counter shots a little more. And now Marquez is throwing big and a big right lands! And a left hook! Marquez is starting to time him a bit, I think.

Marquez 10-9
Marquez 29-28


Juan Manuel Marquez VS Juan Diaz Round 4

Marquez swipes him with a left hook. Slower pace this round, but Marquez rocks him with a hard shot! Diaz keeps his feet, but he’s hit again! Diaz staying away, staying away, but Marquez is stalking and throwing hard shots! Diaz keeps his cool and might be able to get his legs back. That’s a big change for Juan Diaz. Marquez smells blood, though. And we know he’s got the killer instinct.

But Diaz does get his legs back, it appears. And Marquez pops him with a left hook a few moments later. Diaz charges, doesn’t get much for it. This became a survival round for Juan Diaz. Marquez with a right.

Marquez 10-9
Marquez 39-37


Juan Manuel Marquez VS Juan Diaz Round 5

Marquez back to trying to flat out time Diaz coming in, but Diaz isn’t coming in as recklessly as usual. He might have to at some point. More and more, JMM is trying to bait Diaz with the feints. Diaz is not fighting poorly at all, but he’s just a class below Marquez. Right hand shot by Marquez! Diaz is staying away, staying away, just not accomplishing much offensively. And another right hand lands! I mean, really, Diaz is doing his best. He’s trying something new, and really trying things that are working as well as you could hope, but he’s not as good as Marquez. I think that’s where we’re at with this fight.

Marquez 10-9
Marquez 49-46


Juan Manuel Marquez VS Juan Diaz Round 6

Marquez continues to stalk Diaz, who continues to circle. Then Diaz gets him with a thudding little right, and Marquez loves it — that’s exactly what he wants. He wants to trade. And Diaz is not obliging too often tonight. It’s a good fight, but not near last year’s fight. Good left hook and a good right by Marquez! And Diaz ties up. Now he’s on his bike in a big way to survive the final seconds of the round.

Marquez 10-9
Marquez 59-55


Juan Manuel Marquez VS Juan Diaz Round 7

Marquez lands a few shots, but not in a great place to do big damage. But he’s starting to really take over this fight and it feels inevitable now. This might go all 12, but if it does it’s because Diaz just never really goes for it, I’m feeling.

At this point in the fight, while I admire his willingness to try something new, it’s obvious THIS isn’t working either. Maybe if he starts rushing, he can catch Marquez slumbering just a bit. Marquez pounds Diaz moments after Diaz did throw a flurry, none of which landed much. Diaz did a couple good things again this round, but again Marquez did more good work. He’s just better. I mean that’s all there is to it.

Marquez 10-9
Marquez 69-64

Juan Manuel Marquez VS Juan Diaz Round 8

I’d really love to see Juan Diaz take a risk here. Anything. But he’s not doing it. He too obviously feels Marquez’s power every time he’s hit solidly. Marquez is in full control of this fight. And the pace has really dipped. But they war a bit at the end, Diaz getting a left hook, but he’s shaken the slightest bit and quits throwing. Diaz is totally out of this fight.

Marquez 10-9
Marquez 79-73


Juan Manuel Marquez VS Juan Diaz Round 9

Good right by Marquez hurts Diaz. Marquez really wants to fight and get the war on. Holy SHIT, Jim Lampley has ignored the other four or so clinches from Diaz tonight and insists that that one was the first of the two fights. Marquez has a lot of gas left and wants to use it. Diaz has no real interest in fighting Marquez anymore. Diaz is really not doing much of anything anymore, and this has turned into a genuine disappointment. I liked him trying something new, but that’s clearly not working at all. It’s almost the 10th round. It’s time to go for it if you actually came to win. No more of this “beautiful! stay on the outside!” shit. He has no chance of winning this fight if he doesn’t rip at Marquez and fast.

Diaz’s lip is cut and he looks really discouraged in the corner.

Marquez 10-9
Marquez 89-82


Juan Manuel Marquez VS Juan Diaz Round 10

Diaz has no real desire to be in there. Marquez is trying to land a hard shot anywhere he can, and Diaz is doing his best to just stay away from him. And this is the second straight fight where I think Diaz’s corner has given him absolutely awful advice. Just awful. Ronnie Shields is a fine, fine trainer, but I don’t think he’s meshing with Diaz at all anymore.

“With a life like his, and a brain like his, he shouldn’t take any chances.” Well why’s he in here? And why did we pay $50 for this fight?

Marquez easily wins another round.

Marquez 10-9
Marquez 99-91


Juan Manuel Marquez VS Juan Diaz Round 11

Diaz with a left hook. But that’s about all he does. There’s no real follow-up. Marquez’s right eye is about swollen totally shut, but Diaz just is not attacking. Good uppercut by Marquez, but probably not totally on point because Diaz didn’t react as much as it appeared he might have. Camera angle was from behind on the shot. Marquez has taken his foot off the gas a bit. Diaz wobbles a hair, but probably more balance. Juan Manuel Marquez VS Juan Diaz Round ends just after.

Diaz 10-9
Marquez 108-101


Juan Manuel Marquez VS Juan Diaz Round 12

Marquez’s intensity is still there, kind of, but it feels a bit forced. Like he’s doing just enough to keep Diaz at bay more than really trying to finish him off anymore. Marquez is 36 and has this fight in the bag, and he’s got a money fight coming next. He’s gotten marked up some. Actually he looks really unfocused in the last minute, at least for a moment, and then he wakes up on a Diaz left hook. Marquez and Diaz throw hard to end the bout, and Marquez gets the best of it. No real pleasantries at the end of the fight are exchanged.

I can’t lie — this was a perfectly alright fight, and sadly the best PPV main event of 2010, but it was very disappointing to me.

Pacquiao 10-9
Pacquiao 79-73


Round 9 : Manny continues to batter him. This is getting kind of pathetic. Clottey is doing absolutely nothing and it’s getting old. He’s taking zero risks. He’s proving himself as a B+ fighter on his best nights, and this ain’t one of his best.

Clottey with a right. And now he goes back to doing nothing. Manny landing huge in the last 40 seconds. Clottey does not look like he has a single thing left. He’s mentally and physically beaten.

They tie up at center ring as Cotto throws. Left hook to the body by Cotto. Cotto charges at the end.

Cotto round. Very much so, IMO.

Pacquiao 10-9
Pacquiao 68-63


COTTO VS PACQUIAO ROUND 8

Manny continuing to own the ring now. Miguel is desperately searching for a way to break him down. You can see his gears turning in there. He’s looking everywhere for an in, and just not finding it yet.

Pacquiao 78-72

COTTO VS PACQUIAO ROUND 9

Lampley is talking about pulling Cotto out. Way too premature for that, IMO. I mean come on. He was worse off against Clottey, frankly. Pacquiao’s beating him, but it’s not absurd.

Cotto retreating, trying to time him, and can’t. Cotto in the corner, MANNY UNLOADING, and Cotto clinches up. Miguel’s in trouble as Manny just swings his arms wild all over the place. He’s going for it now. He thinks he has him beaten.

Left hand from Manny! And here he goes! Miguel swelling up, bleeding, CAUGHT HUGE! Cotto is finished. Pacquiao is now dominating.

HUGE LEFT BY COTTO, but Manny WALKS THROUGH IT AGAIN! He’s unreal.

Pacquiao 10-9
Pacquiao 88-81


COTTO VS PACQUIAO ROUND 10

Cotto is coming at him now. Harold says they should stop it. Larry disagrees. I disagree too if he’s going to fight. Combo from Cotto, mostly blocked by Manny. Miguel is actually boxing this round, throwing a few punches, actually doing something again. Last round I thought it was fine to stop it. But if he’s going to fight, he should fight. He’s a world class fighter.

Manny with some sniper shots with about 30 seconds left. Cotto is backing off again. He’s just not throwing. He’s afraid to get caught in a firefight now. And Manny lays the pressure on, and Miguel moves out again. Big shot Manny.

They’re talking Pacquiao-Mayweather in the first minute of this round.

Pacquiao unloading on Miguel and beating him up in the corner. Bayless has a close eye on it. Cotto is getting hammered now. Round is half over. Cotto is 95% done.

Miguel is just staying away from him, and it seems like Pacquiao doesn’t want to keep beating him up. I’m serious. It seems like Pacquiao is at times laying off of him. Cotto is running — flat out running.

Pacquiao 10-9
Pacquiao 108-99


COTTO VS PACQUIAO ROUND 12

Cotto just running again. Cotto is flat-out just running. Miguel Cotto Sr. wanted to stop this, apparently, and KENNY BAYLESS FINALLY DOES STOP IT

Following the Countdown to Pacquiao - Morales III : The Grand Finale HBO, this Manny Pacquiao's rubber match with Morales was a spectacular action fight for three rounds. And the atmosphere, with 18,276 deliriously wild fans, was absolutely electrifying and unforgettable. Stick some casual sports fans in the middle of that kind of scene and they will become boxing fans for life.

Pacquiao, 27, was the younger, stronger, fresher and hungrier fighter. He was simply too much for Morales, an old 30 after so many brutal wars and so many years of struggling to make weight. Pacquiao walked through whatever Morales could land and destroyed him, scoring three knockdowns to win their glorious trilogy 2-1.

The final knockdown in the third round resulted in a sight we never thought we would see: Morales conceding a fight. He sat with his arms wrapped around his knees, looked to his corner and shook his head "no" to indicate that he wasn't going to get up as he allowed referee Vic Drakulich to count him out. He knew he was a beaten man and said so afterward. The scene reminded us of the way Alexis Arguello conceded his 1983 rematch with Aaron Pryor -- sitting in the middle of the canvas knowing he just couldn't beat that guy, so why get up just to get pummeled again?

Morales is probably at the end of the road, but what a road it has been. He won titles in three divisions and he's a lock for first-ballot Hall of Famer. He was also one of the never-say-die fighters of this era, one of the reasons he was so popular and generated big money on pay-per-view. He might have lost his epic trilogies with Pacquiao and fierce rival Marco Antonio Barrera, but he's one of the few fighters with the heart to fight them a combined six times.

Pacquiao sealed our vote for fighter of the year honors with the impressive victory. But when he'll fight next is a mystery because of the outside-the-ring storm in which he is at the center. Top Rank and Golden Boy both claim promotional rights to him, and the matter seems headed for a courtroom. If Top Rank prevails, Pacquiao is headed for the Chinese territory of Macau to fight in March, possibly against 130-pound titlist Edwin Valero. If Golden Boy wins, the fighter could face division champion Barrera in March in a rematch of Pacquiao's crushing 11th-round knockout in a 2003 featherweight championship fight.

Pacquaio Morales I was set on March 19, 2005 at MGM Grand, Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. The HBO Pay per view commentators are Emmanuel Steward, Larry Merchant, & Jim Lampley. Pacquaio Morales I was fought for the vacant WBC International super featherweight title and the vacant IBA Super Featherweight Title.

After defeating Fahsan 3K Battery, Pacquaio went on to face Erik Morales.

Morales, proving he's far from finished, earned a thrilling unanimous decision over Pacquiao. Morales dictated the pace of the fight by using an effective jab to neutralize Pacquiao's speed and power but there were still plenty of toe-to-toe exchanges.

In the 5th round, Pacquaio suffered a nasty gash over his right eye from an accidental clash of heads (though referee Joe Cortez incorrectly ruled the cut was caused by a punch) and gamely fought the rest of the way with blood streaming down his face. Pacquiao briefly wobbled Morales in the 12th round, but in the end, all three judges scored the fight 115-113.

After suffering a defeat by decison, with his first fight with Erik Morales, Pacquaio on September 10, 2005 at Staples Center, Los Angeles, California, United States, takes on Hector Velasquez.

During the first round Velasquez holds his own, as Pacquiao seemingly started on a slow pace. But after the 2nd round, where Hector Velasquez was outpunched by Manny the Pacman Pacquiao, Velasquez never recovered.

Pacquaio vs Velasquez, came into a conclusion when Velasquez went down just as the bell sounded the end of the 6th round. Referee Lou Moret counted up to eight before declaring the fight TKO.

Manny has now a shot at WBC International super featherweight title, with his rematch with Erik Morales.

After his first 126 pounds bout in his hometown, Pacquaio once again defended his 122 pounds IBF super bantamweight title at the Olympic Auditorium, Los Angeles, California, United States on March 15, 2003.

The HBO Pay per view commentators are Emmanuel Steward, Larry Merchant, & Jim Lampley.

His opponent is the fresh from amateur boxing Emmanuel Lucero. The fight was very unusual. Lucero has an exaggerated crouch, almost at the level of the belt, a style which will prove to be his downfall.

Manny seeing this, pounded Lucero in the body. Lucero unable to see his opponent because of low crouching, took a beating, culminating in a knock out in the 3rd round. Pacquiao timed Lucero's movement, concentrated his power punch using his left fist on Lucero's jaw, staggering him, with just one punch. Referee Jose Cobian, seeing how wobbly and dazed Lucero, stopped the fight.

This is Manny Pacquiao's last fight at 122 pounds.
