Pacquiao Vs. Marquez 3 Highlights 2011

On November 12th Marquez lost to Pacquiao via majority decision. Upon the results being announced, the crowd reaction was largely negative with many continuing to boo as Pacquiao spoke with Max Kellerman. Tim Smith of New York's Daily News wrote that Márquez "was robbed of a decision by judges who were either blind or corrupt." Former world champion Steve Collins and current world champion and stablemate of Marquez, Amir Khan who co-commentated the bout for British television also thought Manny had lost the fight, going so far as to saying he would now like to fight Marquez. Ringside punch stats showed Pacquiao landing more strikes, 176 to 138, and landing more power punches, 117 to 100. However the connect percent is higher on Márquez side with a 32% compared to the 30% by Pacquiao.  Marquez was once again defeated.
