Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez Undercard Results

In a junior lightweight bout between Juan Carlos Burgos (28-1, 19 KO) and previously unbeaten boxer Luis Cruz (19-1, 15 KO), Burgos upset the odds and handed Cruz his first defeat after 10 rounds of junior lightweight action.

The scores were 97-93, 98-92 and 95-95 for Burgos.

In the main event, Manny Pacquiao (53-3-2, 38 KO) will battle former foe Juan Manuel Marquez (53-5-1, 39 KO) for the third time later tonight on HBO pay-per-view, and it may be the most defining moment of each boxers' career.

Pacquiao has achieved more than any active boxer, and that includes being the first eight-division world champion and the first to win a lineal championship in four different weight classes.

Their first fight between the two saw Marquez getting dropped three times in the first round, but he fought back to earn a draw in one of 2004's most exciting fights.

The 2008 rematch saw Marquez getting knocked down again, and he would lose a split-decision that many had thought he deserved to win.
