Take the case of the Pacquiao-Marquez fight.
Everyone was so riled up with the referee, the count, and the endless advertisements that no one had taken a look at Marquez.
Heck, this guy is one hell of a fighter. We should give him credit for his courage, intelligence and determination. We have overlooked this because our minds have been conditioned to a Pacquiao victory.
Coming from three knockdowns and practically hearing the dirge being played in the background, Marquez summoned the stuff that comes only from true champions – a fighting heart. Using his wit, his survival’s instincts and the will to see the fight through, Marquez was described as having salvaged a draw against the whirlwind Pacquiao.
