A hairline victory! That is perhaps how best to describe the Pacman's win.
Manny Pacquiao survived twelve rounds of Juan Manuel Marquez' fast and efficient counter-punching fight strategy to win the third of their celebrated trilogy by majority decision! The judges at ringside scored the relatively close fight at 114-114, 116-112 and 115-113 with Pacquiao getting an impressive final round to gain two of the three judges' approval!
According to boxing bible , The Ring , "Neither fighter went down or was hurt, although Pacquiao suffered a cut
above his right eye as a result of a collision of heads in the 10th round."
Pacquiao certainly took the initiative for most of the fight saying,“ I have to accept the fact that my opponent is not easy; he’s a good
fighter,” he said. “I did my best. And I clearly won the fight.” .
For his 15th straight win , Pacquiao earned a minimum of $22
million while improving his record to 54-3-2. Marquez, who earned $5
million, fell to 52-6-1.
