Lucky punch? I think not

Its because many Filipino still not know how to accept defeat with dignity. Its always like that , and now many are even blaming the new religion of Manny Pacquiao, I just hope they will all realize what they are acting towards his religion coz its not actually the pastors or the servants of God or the religion they are actually attacking/questioning but the God of Manny Pacquiao.

it was a solid punch that made pacquaio hit the canvas and stay there for a while. people may call it whatever they want, but it was a solid punch. pacquaio did not see it coming. he was bent on landing his 1-2 punch. marquez gamely took the first punch which was jab, and unleashed his right straight with devastating effect. that put pacquaio to dreamland. i still want to see a pacquaio-marquez 5.

For Manny it could have been lucky but I know for Marquez it wasn't he just saw an opportunity to strike and Manny was caught unaware of this. I heard Manny admitted that he became overconfident and I think that was his mistake in this fight since Marquez saw the opening that put him down.

Hello nytrisco, of course, we tend to make huge excuses and allow denial statements not to understand why he lost. but if he wasn't into showbiz and politics, there's no doubt that manny would have won again. Marquez studied manny's move for years in every defeat and now he finally brought down pacman. i think doubts of manny's strength will only be determined if he defeats marquez again since he's the real fighter who would never get scared of manny.

Pacquiao indeed was ahead on points, but said Marquez' "Lucky Punch" came in the nick of time, in a split unexpected second when Pacquiao defenses was open. Marquez' thunderous right hook erased Pacquiao's advantage and all.

Thanks for sharing your opinions nytrisco. Well, that's merely your opinion and assessment relative to that fight between the two superstars. But i cannot understand your point why you felt bad to Pacman, it's because he lose the fight and failed your expectation? or you have lost something valuable on those fight? Whatever your reason is, it's not good to uttered unpleasant words against our champ. You must be proud and thankful because he was not blatantly fatal on that right hook of Marquez instead of saying anything else that unhelpful most especially you are a Filipino. Another thing, whatever they called those "punch" the very focal point is Marquez got the right timing which makes the fight early stopped. It is not a defense mechanism that's only their personal views and assessment of the fight just like of what you felt as well. Manny has already prove how tough and humble fighter he is. He has already proven that his records is extraordinary. And we (people) are shocked on what happen to him simply because people have expected too much and we never seen Manny kiss the canvass like on what happen on his opponents during their fights. We must posses respect and be proud of our champ because we are a Filipino, he gives too much honor to our country and it is very unethical if we blame him because of his failure.

It would have been a very good celebration after the game, we do know already that manny has the edge in the game already causing marquez' nose bled already. I mean it is not a lucky punch but rather a well coordinated move by our opponent. Let us give him the credit for throwing that one, and for the record it was rather clear that pacquiao did not anticipate that move and so he was caught off guard.

This is what I was afraid of. When Pacquiao loses, some of our countrymen can't accept the outcome of the fight, and they thus make excuses of some sort like this 'lucky punch' thing. Boxing is a sport, and like in any other sport, anybody can win. We should show the world how sportsmanlike we are and just acknowledge Pacquiao's defeat, period.

I am a Filipino too... Both of them have really a chance to knockout their opponent. Marquez was a little bit lucky to first hit Manny. Same thing if Manny landed a punch like that, Marquez would surely fell in the ground too. It's a great fight in deed. Manny was just a little careless... Their fights were never a mismatch. Both of them have their chances to win.

Yes, it's true. They say it is a "lucky punch", but maybe, that is not Pacquiao's time to win. He is so aggressive that time and Marquez took advantage of it. Some people can't accept the fact that our Filipino champ was defeated but not only that, He was being knocked out by Marquez in 6th round. I hope, that would be that last match for them. I know some filipinos are very disappointed because their bet/stake for Manny Pacquiao loses. LOL!

Lucky Punch? No way. JM Marquez expected and prepared for Pacquiao's move and delivered the "Million Dollar Killer Punch" that ended the fight. That's it! Let's just pray and hope that nothing more serious happens to our Boxing Hero.
