LAS VEGAS -- As an eyewitness during the WBO welterweight duel between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez at the MGM Grand last November 13, I am respectfully confirming that the Filipino ring superstar indeed won the fight by a majority but close decision. I have the Compubox as my solid basis, the document handed to us by the Nevada State Athletic Commission officials immediately before the start of the post fight press conference. Actually, there is no need to argue; we should judge the fight according to facts, not emotion. If Pacquiao wasn’t able to knock out Marquez, it didn’t mean that Marquez won the trilogy only because he survived the 12-round distance.
