Pacquiao was up 47-46 on all 3 official scorecards after 5 rounds and he was probably winning the 6th.
I have no idea how Marquez even stayed on his feet the last minute of the 5th round. The 6th round was a bit more even. Manny wanted to go for the kill because
A) Marquez was bleeding and ready to go...
B) Manny really wanted to finish it, especially when people said he didn't deserve to win fight #3. He wanted to end this saga with a resounding knockout.
And he got caught.
If was a great fight, how boxing should be, not jab and run for 12 rounds and win.
