With blood streaming from what appeared to be a broken nose and seemingly on the verge of being stopped himself, Marquez landed an absolute missile of a right hand at the end of the sixth round that knocked Pacquiao cold and ended the night.
It was an absolutely stunning ending to an all-action war.
And it was frightening as Pacquiao lay motionless on the mat for several minutes while his foe celebrated the biggest win of his storied career.
Nobody saw it coming but now Juan Manuel Marquez finally has his vindication and Manny Pacquiao faces an uncertain future.

It was a very deserved victory for the Mexican warrior who spent much of his career in obscurity and who now can finally say these four words:
"I beat Manny Pacquiao."

An absolutely stunning outcome. Nobody saw this coming. Marquez has never landed a shot like that in his career but he picked a helluva time to do it!
Pacquiao was taking over the fight, seemed on the verge of dominance and got absolutely knocked OUT COLD at the end of the sixth round.
Juan Manuel Marquez WINS the biggest fight of his career! An absolutely MASSIVE right hand ends the night.

JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ JUST KNOCKED OUT MANNY PACQUIAO!!!!

Manny Pacquiao is looking to make an absolute statement here tonight. That he CAN beat Juan Manuel Marquez.
Marquez might have a broken nose. A lot of blood. This might need to be stopped soon.
Pacquiao BLITZED him in the fifth. We've NEVER seen that kind of action in the three prior fights.
Both guys with knockout intentions on all their shots.
Manny takes a 10-8 round.
He leads 4-1 in rounds
48-45 on points.

This isn't tactical. It's not boxing. It's a full-blown WAR.
Both guys going for the kill!
Marquez BADLY hurt at the end of the fifth!
Pacquiao going for the knockout!
And DOWN goes Marquez in round FIVE! We are now even on knockdowns. HIGH DRAMA.
BOTH GUYS GOING FOR IT!
Marquez responds with a HUGE RIGHT.
Very nice combination there from Pacquiao. And round four ends with both fighters landing solid shots. What else? Another tough one to score but I gave it to Pacquiao.
3-1 in rounds for Manny but only a 38-37 lead due to the knockdown.

Marquez finding a home with that straight right again here in the fourth. He looks much more confident and comfortable. Pacquiao looks a little shaky. Not physically, but mentally.
That woke a lot of people up. Absolutely stunning moment in this fight. Big psychological turning point for both fighters. First time Marquez has ever dropped Pacquiao.

First time in their four fights that Marquez has deposited Pacquiao on the mat with a huge right hand!
Manny looking VERY defensive now. He's back on the attack in the final 20 seconds but what a shocker!
10-8 round for Marquez.
28-28 after three rounds!!
And Pacquiao is DOWN!! Third round knockdown for Marquez!
Pacquiao's straight left is bothering Marquez. A lot more feinting and head movement this time around from Manny.
Another very tough round to score. Marquez with some nice body shots but Pacquiao landed the harder, flashier left hooks that won him the round on my card.
20-18 Pacquiao after two.

Marquez looks more cautious than normal...Pacquiao definitely more active in the early rounds. Marquez is digging some shots to the body when Manny comes in though.
Two big lefts from Pacquiao mid-way through the second round!
Marquez looked like he was just feeling him out in there. Pacquiao more active and takes another close, hard to score round.
10-9 Pacquiao after round one.
Can these two guys have just one round that's easy to score?
Definitely this is a Marquez house tonight. Pacquiao booed as he hits the ring— Kevin Iole (@KevinI) December 9, 2012
HEAVY boos for Pacquiao during his introduction.
Let's Get Ready to Rumble!!!!!!!!
Marquez looks bigger than I've ever seen him.
Pacquiao all smiles in his corner.

Pacquiao has not scored a knockout in three years...makes you wonder why I predicted he'll get one tonight.
And here comes Manny Pacquiao...
Marquez pumping right fist to crowd. It's a weapon, that's for sure.— Lance Pugmire (@latimespugmire) December 9, 2012
That's his biggest weapon. He'll need it tonight.

Marquez on his way to the ring. Will his extra muscle affect his ability to counter-punch Pacquiao? That's been his bread and butter in the first three fights.
I've got Marquez in nine. #boxing #PacMarquez— Gabriel Montoya™ (@Gabriel_Montoya) December 9, 2012
Of all the judged rounds between the two by the three judges in each fight it's:
Pacquiao 52
Marquez 56
The difference for Manny has been the knockdowns.
Can he win another close decision?
Still nothing like 17,000 Mexicans belting out their national anthem in unison.... #boxing #pacmarquez— Steve Kim (@stevemaxboxing) December 9, 2012
Hostile environment for Pacquiao.
Are you Ready?? Champion of the Decade!! @mannypacquiao vs @jmmarquez_1 4!! Who will win?!— WBO(@WorldBoxingOrg) December 9, 2012

Been saying it all week...think we're going to see the Manny Pacquiao of old...think he takes it by knockout.
I absolutely LOVE the Mexican national anthem before fights...but this rendition is very very bad...

And the official festivities have begun...first the National Anthems...then the ring walks...then weFIGHT!
