Two minutes into the featherweight championship bout between Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny ?PacMan? Pacquiao it looked to be all over for the IBF and WBA champion Marquez. The buzz saw from the Philippines looked to overwhelm his more tactical opponent and was doing just that. After a first surprise knockdown the ferocious Pacquiao swarmed all over Marquez knocking him down twice more and breaking his nose with a snapping straight left hand. Then something happened. Marquez, a long under appreciated fighter who has toiled in the looming shadows of his countrymen, Eric Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera, seized his first real moment in the sun and turned an apparent blowout into an early candidate for fight of the year.
