Marquez vs Pacquiao II: Highlights (HBO Boxing)

Manny Pacquiao win

Whats amazing is Marquez's composure despite getting hit, buckled or knocked down. His recovery is in different level.

I think Marquez is the only opponent of Pacquiao who is not afraid to throw punches while Pacquiao is on the offensive. His counterpunching is fitting for Pacman. Most of Pacquiao's opponents wait for him to reload after throwing 4-7 combinations, but Marquez does not wait for Pacquiao to reload; he throws punches while Pacman is firing away. This style, coupled with his chin and heart, makes him a tough opponent for Pacquiao. And Marquez was avoided by Morales and Barrera during this period because they knew he was a dangerous opponent, but only Pacman has the guts to face him because he is a hungry beast.

Maybe if Pacquiao hadn't faced Marquez, we might never have witnessed the legendary 8th division. Pacquiao's skills and IQ evolve with every tough opponent, thanks to Freddie and Pacman's determination and hardworking mindset.

Marquez was the superior boxer in offense and defense. Pacquiao was the superior boxer using both at the same time.

Best combination puncher (Pacman) versus the best counter puncher (Marquez) of their era. This fight was close but the early knockdown proved to be the difference. They both rocked each other with hard shots. Their first 2 fights were too close to call. Manny should have technically won their first fight but one judge didn't know he could score it 10-6 (he scored it 10-7) and that proved to be the difference between a draw and split decision. The 3rd fight could have went either way, flip a coin and that would have been your winner. But they gave the majority decision to Manny. Their 4th fight was the most brutal, violent fight I have ever seen. Marquez knocked Manny down for the first time in Round 3 with a ranging overhand right. Manny broke Marquez nose pretty good, too. But at the end, Marquez caught Manny with the greatest straight right counter punch in the history of boxing. Marquez was more determined, more prepared, more hungry, and wanted to win more than anything and he did just that. There will never be another quadriology like this again in boxing. They brought out the best in each other. 2 legends. Although Manny was knocked out, he wasn't done with boxing. I believe the brutal KO by Marquez helped Manny prolong his career, as he'd go on to have many more awesome bouts, but this time with a new approach to boxing...he became more cautious and more of a boxer versus puncher.

A Legend Was Born

This was the version of pacquiao that was hungry. I don’t feel his hunger and excitement on their 3rd and 4th match. He should have stopped the excessive rematch.

You’ll never see another Great Trilogy like PacquiaoMarquez again!!! 2023 still rewatching all these old video!

Créanme q en toda la pelea jamás vi ganar a Márquez solo solo lo toco una vez Y ya decía q le robaban!...

This when floyd didn’t want nun

4 close figth but whoever won the last figth is the best , simple as that .

Ironically, that counter punch at 1:38 looks to resemble the same punch that Marquez KOd pacquiao with, in their final fight, except he did it with the right hand.

Pacquiao vs. Márquez 2 fue una gran pelea, mucha acción, muchos golpes de poder lanzados por ambos peleadores. Márquez estuvo genial y su contragolpe fue efectivo. Pacquiao también estuvo genial, Pacquiao conectó golpes combinados rápidos que sorprendieron a Márquez. De acuerdo con los puntajes de los jueces, la diferencia de la pelea fue la caída anotada por Pacquiao que le dio la victoria a Pacquiao. Y el resto es historia.

This is what happen if two elite fighters collide, I hope Davis and Lopez will fight in the future

Me gusta más la 4@ pelea hay si se pudo ver quién era el mejor los 2 grandes Pacman y marquez

0:35 foreshadowing of what was to come... 😏😴😴

This is one of the best counterattacks in history 0:35 when you have seen a boxer like marquez counter with combinations as effective as this

This rivalry is legendary because the best pound for pound of all time vs the best Counter puncher in history (pacquiao vs Márquez), only nobody calls them that because neither is North American

1:38 is the same kind of punch Marquez landed to KO Pacquiao in their 4th fight.
