Marquez, who had already been down once in the fight himself, connected with a perfect right hand at 2:59 of the 6th round to knock Pacquiao out cold.

The shot sent Pacquiao down on the canvas face first where he remained unconscious for several minutes.

Pacquiao looked like he had a little cocky after getting credit for a knockdown in the 5th round when he stepped on Marquez’s foot and nailed him with a straight left hand that put him on the canvas. Pacquiao was able to get the better of Marquez for the remainder of the round when he cornered him and landed some big shots. However, Pacquiao was kidding himself because Marquez wasn’t hurt at all other than a cut on the bridge of his nose.

In the 6th, Pacquiao continued to press the attack, landing left hands and hard jabs. But Pacquiao made a mistake of going after Marquez on the past seconds of the round and ended up walking into a hard right hand from Marquez that sent Pacquiao down face first on the canvas.
