I have just watched the fight live on PPV. It's a sudden and unexpected knockout by Marquez. It was in the last three seconds of the sixth round, just before the bell rang. Manny was hit by a hard right counterpunch. I thought that the round was done but I'm surprised when I saw Manny on the mat. It was a very solid punch came from Marquez. I think this is the greatest achievement of Marquez as a boxer. Happy Fiesta Mexico!!!

So sad that Manny loss this game. But I do think it was a great fight. Both did their best. And I think this should be Manny's last. He needs to retire and be more focus on other important things that needs his attention. The Filipinos will always be grateful for the honor that Manny Pacquiao has brought to the Philippines.

But he said that he will fight with Marquez again. What did it means? I think he must retire in politics and go back fully to the boxing world to be more focused to his fights. And then go back to politics when he finally retires from boxing.

My initial reaction after Pacquiao was hit was for him to quit his boxing career and just focus on his political career instead. And I think that many would support him with it. However, I have just learned that he has a contract with Bob Arum until the end of 2013, and so that being said, he still needs to be with another fight or two by net year. I think if that is the case, he should set aside first his political career. I mean, he can not be a boxer and a government official at the same time coz both needs immediate attention. He just needs to choose now where he needs to be.

Coins have all 2 sides. Now Marquez'side is up and shining. Congratulations to Marquez, his team, family and friends way back home. Pacquiao's side is underneath and it's time for reckoning, assessing and planning for the next move. Manny knows there's night and day. He accepted his defeat with all his heart. He will always be No. 1 boxer for Filipinos despite the loss. Manny move on.

Yes at least he accepted his defeat not like Hatton who ruin his life after his big lose against Pacquiao. He is still young at 33 and he only need to re-focus himself to win a fight. Pacquiao will be the only number one boxer in his country.

Well, that's life. This time it is not Pacquaio's luck. But despite of his lose , I still very proud of him. In his previous games, he won and we were there cheering up for him but now that he did lose, I'll still support him. I am after his health anyway.Hope he can recover.

Yes! Me too, I still support Manny. Winning and losing is only a part of the game. What's important is that you still have the chance to fight again. Is it true that the reason of Manny's lose is because he changed religion?
