As you may or may not know, one of my interests is boxing. I really rather enjoy combat sports. Love going back to watch old Ali or Frazier flights. Love it when Pacquiao or Mayweather get into the ring. Thoroughly enjoy a good fight. Tonight was a big one...Pacquiao-Marquez 4.
In that fight tonight, this happened...
...and I was left speechless! Pacquiao had been winning the fight before this brilliant counter-punch by Marquez, and seemed well on his way to winning the fight. Marquez was on wobbly legs in the 5th, and clearly had a broken nose in the 6th. Pacquiao got overanxious to try and score an emphatic victory...to close the fight out...and walked right into that devastating counter!
I was watching, and I was floored. I mean, my jaw dropped. Pacquiao, put to sleep. Unbelievable!
Anyways, just wanted to share. This knockout will be talked about for a long, long time. Pacquiao has been a huge star...and we might have just seen the end of his brilliant, and very successful career. Mayweather-Pacquiao is assuredly dead in the water now. The landscape of professional boxing has changes tonight. Just an incredible fight, capped off by a brutal and unexpected knockout. This is what boxing is all about.
