As a big Pacquiao fan, last night was heartbreaking. I know all warriors fall at some point but it was incredibly difficult for me to watch Manny fall like that. It's like I took the punch with him. It's moments like this when I question why I even like this sport.
Marquez is a great warrior. He is an ultimate technician in the ring. He deserved that win. I'm glad he was the one who beat Pacquiao and not anyone else.
As a side note - Manny has made friends of most of his previous opponents. He has invited them to his home in the Philippines. Erik Morales has been back and forth and even appeared in Filipino commercials as Manny's friend. Erik now has tons of fans in the Philippines.
Makes me wonder if Manny will invite Marquez and whether Marquez will show up or not.
