Pacquiao defeats Marquez to win WBC title

Eurosport - Sun, 16 Mar 06:04:00 2008

Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines knocked down Juan Manuel Marquez in the third round before going on to capture the WBC super featherweight championship by split decision in Las Vegas.

Judges Duane Ford and Tom Miller scored the fight 115-112 and 114-113 respectively in favour of Pacquiao while Jerry Roth scored the bout 115-112 for Mexico's Marquez.

The two men had previously fought in 2004, Marquez recovering from three first-round knockdowns to earn a draw.

There were no such early fireworks in the rematch, as Marquez, 48-4-1 with 35 KOs, scored well with sharp counter-punches and a tight defense.

However, in the third round, Pacquiao landed a right-left combination followed by a sweeping left which wobbled his opponent.

Marquez threw a right hand in response but a perfect counter left hand from Pacquiao dropped the Mexican fighter onto his back.

The defending champion hauled himself to his feet and was able to survive the round in the face of a furious Pacquiao onslaught.

Pacquiao (46-3-2, 34 KOs) continued to press the attack in the fourth, landing at will with southpaw left hands but by the end of that round, Marquez had recovered his poise.

A clash of heads in the seventh opened a cut above the Mexican's right eye and in the eighth, a right hand from Marquez left the Filipino with a wound above his own right eye.

"I thought I was in control of the fight," Pacquiao said.

"But when my eye got cut, it made it more difficult."

Pacquiao seemed bothered by the cut and Marquez appeared to hurt him with a body attack immediately afterward.

By the ninth, Pacquiao looked confused and unsure how to respond as Marquez landed sharp combinations.

"Manny followed him around the ring too much. He didn't cut off the ring enough," Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach said.

However, Pacquiao's power was always evident and a strong counter left hand in the tenth staggered Marquez again.

Marquez stumbled forward and Pacquiao opened up with a furious two-fisted attack that backed Marquez into the ropes.

Again, however, Marquez survived.

The final two rounds were closely contested and the result seemed in doubt until the moment the scores were read out.

Marquez disputed the result.

"I haven't lost anything at all," he said.

"The people know I won this. The fight is not one round. I connected more punches, more jabs and I feel I won."

Pacquiao discounted the idea of a third fight with Marquez, expressing instead a preference to fight in the lightweight division.

"This business is over," he said of his rivalry with Marquez.

he's the first Asian to win world titles in three different weight classes after outpointing Juan Manuel Marquez on the way to claiming the Mexican's belt in Las Vegas.

1. Super featherweight Champion

3. Flyweight Champion

now he's aiming for the 4th division

yeah, but his knockdown for marquez at 3rd round make him the winner

Mister Chino · 03-16-2008, 06:22 AM

Pacquiao is an amazing fighter, reminds me of R.Duran: heart over style, brings attention to the lower weight categories for sure.

EuroRev_Stacey · 03-16-2008, 07:34 AM

Congrats Pacman but his fight is not as promising as his previous fights!

Manny looked terrible last night. Came out flat, stayed flat, got controlled, fought in spurts, looked and sounded dejected and disappointed after the fight... I don't argue the decision though, it was a tough one to score I'm sure.

dig420 · 03-16-2008, 02:20 PM

Manny's a great fighter who caught three greater fighters at the end of their careers. The first fight, a 30 yr old Marquez got robbed, the second fight he was 34 and it could have gone either way.

I respect Manny, but his fans are total douchebags.

marquez had 3 times floor knockdown at their first fight, but the decession were draw. it should be a winner for manny, thus many of filipinos think manny got robbed at that time.

VoteForPedro · 03-16-2008, 07:20 PM

All 3 knockdowns were in one round and fights are judged by individual rounds. Marquez dominated the rest of the fight. That is why people say he got robbed in the first fight. That one round for Manny vs. being beaten in the bulk of the other 11 rounds does not justify a Paquiao win.

dig420 · 03-16-2008, 07:24 PM

A young Barrera KO's Manny imho, and a young EM decisions him much easier than the old version of EM.

An old, past his prime Morales beats MP and a past his prime JMM drew him and imho beat him in the rematch. This isn't doghouse boxing, HERE you're going to have to face reality.

shekinah · 03-16-2008, 08:42 PM

We know who won the title and it's clear that tho the fight ain't that promising compared to those previous ones.. still it's a good match!!

Just congratulate the winner, he deserves it!

viencarl · 03-17-2008, 06:56 AM

theres no looser in that match because both of them give their best to win

for me both of them are champion because of a good match !!!!

sniperwolf · 03-17-2008, 10:45 AM

Well, congrats to Pacman...

figweed · 03-17-2008, 11:41 AM

Pacman is great but I really thought it could have gone to Marquez, judges don't always see the same fight we do, totally different ringside. I had it scored at a 1 point lead for Marquez. An unlikely DRAW would have made for an awesome trilogy!!

carol.prime · 03-17-2008, 11:54 AM

the fight is over..and it was a great fight indeed!
congratulations Manny!!

DaddyHalbucks · 03-17-2008, 12:12 PM

Sounds like quite a battle.
