Pacquiao vs. Marquez: 10 Best Images from Their Fight

A picture doesn't always tell the story of the fight, but for Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez, the following 10 images show some of the best moments of each boxer's performance from Saturday night.

At a packed MGM Grand in Las Vegas, the Filipino superstar walked away with another controversial decision over his Mexican rival after 12 rounds.

Although there were no knockdowns in this fight, as was the case in their first two encounters, Pacquiao still managed to do enough in the judges' eyes to win a majority decision with the scores being 114-114, 116-112 and 115-113.

It was arguably the closest of the three, and it's Pacquiao who gets to say he at least got the better of Marquez on two of those three nights. Marquez has yet to get a victory over the pound-for-pound king.

These are the 10 best images from the fight from the first bell to the decision.

No. 10: Marquez Getting Prepared for Pacquiao's Power

Pacquiao packs a serious punch, and Marquez knows about that more than anyone else.

Over the course of the first 24 rounds fought against him, Marquez was knocked down four times. He was able to avoid it this time around.

No. 9: Trading Blows

The action in the third bout wasn't as fierce as in the first two, but it was certainly fun to watch.

Both showed improvements in their styles, but neither showed more improvements than the other.

No. 8: Pacquiao Shows Marquez He Has a Right Hand

In the first fight from 2004, Pacquiao's right hand was virtually non-existent.

In the 2008 rematch, he had finally started to use it more.

Four years later, Pacquiao showed he had figured out how to implement it into his game plan to get the better of Marquez in most of the exchanges, at least in the judges' eyes.

No. 7: Easy Target

Pacquiao often lets himself open to get hit by his opponent.

He does that here and pays for it against the quick-thinking and tactical Marquez.

No. 6: Right Hand Lands for Pacquiao

Many had thought Marquez had done enough to win the decision, but punch stats prove otherwise.

CompuBox statistics showed Pacquiao landing 176 of 578 total punches and Marquez landing 138 of 436.

Pacquiao also outlanded Marquez in power shots by 17.

No. 5: No Knockdowns This Time

The left hand of Pacquiao was the weapon that knocked down Marquez three times in the first bout. Marquez got up from each and managed to fight back to a draw after 12 rounds.

The rematch saw Marquez getting knocked down again from a left hand. The split decision wouldn't go in his favor.

No. 4: Marquez Breaks Through Pacquiao's Guard

At 38, Marquez was counted out by many leading into the third fight with Pacquiao.

Nobody expected him to box as well as he did, and it may have been what led many to thinking he had done enough to deserve the victory.

No. 3: Pacquiao Awaiting the Decision

Pacquiao is always confident in his performance, and after 12 rounds against Marquez, he was confident he had done enough to get the victory.

Still, a knockout was the only thing that would satisfy boxing fans on Saturday night.

No. 2: Marquez Lets the Fans Know Who He Thought Won

Marquez raises his arm after 12 hard-fought rounds against his opponent, and the majority of fans in attendance were cheering for him.

After the decision was announced, fans showed their disapproval of the decision by throwing stuff into the center of the ring.

No. 1: Pacquiao Gets the Decision

Pacquiao got his fourth decision victory in a row when the scores of 114-114, 115-113 and 116-112 were announced.

It has been two years since he has finished an opponent. The split decision stopped a string of dominant wins over Joshua Clottey, Shane Mosley and Antonio Margarito, none of whom have ever been stopped, since 2010.
