buckshot come on man, it was boxing at its best. here is the espn article on it with highlighted quotes.

"Before the clean knockout, it had been a tremendous action fight and a fitting bout in their all-time great series, which began in 2004 and has stretched across 21 pounds, four fights and 42 rounds."
"They certainly fought like it, delivering all the action the fans could have hoped for in perhaps the best overall action fight of the series"
"But in the fifth round, he was moving well and the fighters rumbled in a round of the year candidate -- maybe the most exciting round of the series"
"Pacquiao (54-5-2, 38 KOs) landed a nice straight left hand, rocking Marquez (55-6-1, 40 KOs), sending him reeling and forcing him to touch his glove to the mat for a knockdown. But Marquez responded, going right at Pacquiao and hurting him with a right hand. They slugged toe-to-toe for most of the rest of the round."
