Marquez was diagnosed by doctors as having a broken nose and possible concussion, Top Rank Boxing tweeted out.
His opponent though, Pacquiao, was taken to the hospital as a precaution, following his sixth round knockout.
Pacquiao was hit square on the chin by a right from Marquez, as the Mexican countered a 1-2 combo. He then fell flat on the canvas floor, knocked out cold.
Marquez later said of the punch, “After I saw that he was going to throw the 1-2, I stepped to the right and I hit him flush, and that’s why he went down.” – AMD, GMA News
