The ultimate redemption for Marquez, who easily could have been given the decisions in all3 of their previous bouts.
It will be interesting to see where Manny goes from here....and what excuses Bigmouth Floyd will use to avoid fighting Marquez.

Agree, this was a good fight. Looks like Pac-Man has a future in planking...

I am just happy that Manny's CAT scan came back negative, he is still a class act.

I thought he for sure suffered some kind of injury from that hit. It was a scary moment when he wasn't moving at all.

Hoping this fight doesn't hinder any chance of a Mayweather/Pacquaio fight. 50cent as a promoter now may help because he has been working with Arum to get fights.

Agree 100%. He is the type of sportsman that this sport needs to keep it, or get back towards, relevance.
