Manny Pacquiao Squeezes out the Victory (PHOTOS)

As the fight ended, it was clear in my mind that Manny lost. When the winner was announced, the people around me cheered while my face had that clueless expression for a few minutes. The fight was not close at all and Marquez dictated the bout while Pacman had trouble connecting combinations- this was my initial reaction. With that said, "you have to knock out the champ to beat the champ" or at least inflict pain and although Marquez looked good, Manny wasn't exactly getting hurt and you have to do that to convince the judges. The punch statistics can prove that Pacquiao won the fight, he landed 117 power punches to Marquez's 100 and 176 regular punches to only 138. Clearly the fight wasn't what it looked like. As the UFC puts it, never leave it in the hands of judges. Check out some nice shots from the fight below.
