“We always worked on that punch,” Marquez said. “We knew he was going to come out aggressive so we had a fight plan that was more technical. We were able to capitalize on it.”

“I felt he was coming to knock me out the last three rounds and I knew he was going to be wide open,” Marquez said.

“I got hit by a punch I didn’t see,” Pacquiao said.
