Marquez tells how his tactics turned successful in a spectacular fashion against Manny Pacquioa

Their previous three fights were hugely decided to the favor of Pacquioa. But last December 8, 2012, their 4th fight was far different from the previous ones when Marquez salvaged a 6th round historical knock out against Pacquioa.

Juan Manuel Marquez gave a detailed account of his  knock out victory against Manny in thier 4th encounter for ESPN Deportes' "Golpe a Golpe".

Sanchez: You practiced that counterpunch a lot. Many people think it was a lucky punch. How did you decide that it was the right moment to throw it?


Marquez: We were waiting for the right moment. Manny Pacquiao always makes a fake move that I know too well. He fakes a charge forward and then looks like he is going to follow with a one-two. That's a common fake he has. What I do is, I wait for the moment, he fakes the punch ... that one-two. Then I go for his right hand as he throws it as a jab -- I go toward his right hand. He comes forward with all his weight, and that's why the fall becomes more forceful and spectacular -- because he is coming straight to me and I make my body twist and turn, and the right hand wasn't in a straight position.
