Did Marquez hit Pacquiao that way too? No. He didn't. It was all stance and grandstanding, to which many had been deceived. He had always manipulated Pacman's humility, professionalism and honorable fighting style.
Champions are always more refined than their challengers.
Pacman's boxing fans may not be thrilled on how he won this fight, some doubting his win even. People were disappointed because the fight reached the 12th round, without Marquez being knocked down in any rounds and Manny seemingly burnt out with too much preparation.
But if Marquez should have won this fight as is the contention of others, that would have been more than "robbery." He wasn't able to hurt or knocked Manny down either.
We should realize that challengers are always more aggressive than the champion.
There is no doubt that our Manny Pacquiao won this fight fair and square.
It's just that, he fought too honorably than the fierce and intelligent warrior we would have wanted him to be. (Read: Beat Marquez black and blue?)
