ANNOUNCER:
Let's get ready to rumble!
[CROWD CHEERlNG]
And fighting out of the red corner,
from Sarangani province, Philippines,
Manny Pacquiao.
COMMENTATOR 1 :
Is it round one
or round 37?
Pacquiao starts off
with a straight left hand,
fires two jabs.
Neither fighter has landed yet.
[CROWD CHANTlNG]
COMMENTATOR 2:
Good left hand
by Pacquiao backs Marquez up.
Another good left hand sock
by Pacquiao.
He's finding Marquez's chin,
hurling with his left hand.
And Marquez hasn't countered back.
[CROWD GROANS]
...by Marquez, and for the first time,
in four fights,
Manny Pacquiao has been knocked out.
That's the first time in 39 rounds
that Juan Marquez has been able to
put Manny Pacquiao down,
and he did it with his signature
right hand, over to Dutch.
COMMENTATOR 1 :
We got to be careful
though because once again,
Pacquiao is sitting down
on his punches,
and Pacquiao's giving him
some face.
COMMENTATOR 2:
And there goes
the knockdown.
Manny Pacquiao evens up
the knockdown count
as he puts Marquez on the canvas.
COMMENTATOR 1 :
Pacquiao's feeling
good now after knocking Marquez down.
And, his job is to get
out of the round.
COMMENTATOR 2:
Marquez
can't retaliate.
COMMENTATOR 1 :
Marquez is hurt bad.
Marquez is hurt bad.
[CROWD CHEERlNG]
Marquez won't hold.
Looks as though Marquez's nose
is broken.
These are big shots Pacquiao's
been landing on him.
There's another right there.
And, another right there.
COMMENTATOR 2:
Marquez is
off balance again.
COMMENTATOR 1 :
Marquezjust keeps back
and tries to lure back
to nail Pacquiao
with the right hand.
[BOXlNG BELL RlNGlNG]
COMMENTATOR 2:
And, that
seems like a knockdown.
He's not getting up, Jimmy.
COMMENTATOR 1 :
Get up, get up, get up.
He's not getting up!
COMMENTATOR 2:
No,
he's been knocked out!
A sensational fight!
MANNY:
Why do I box?
Why do I fight?
NARRATOR:
Boxing takes
so much from a man.
No other sport asks a man
to sacrifice himself so deeply.
Manny Pacquiao has been in the sport
for twenty long years.
He knows the ruthlessness of boxing,
better than anyone.
But, if you're a fighter,
truly a fighter,
then you get back up.
You fight again.
[CAMERAS CLlCKlNG]
[lNDlSTlNCT CHATTERlNG]
-Manny.
-How are you?
How you doing, boss?
Good to see you.
Knock 'em dead, all right?
As soon as you're ready,
we'll bring in about 1 0-1 5 guys here,
to talk to you for ten minutes,
All the way to the side here.
-Hello, hi.
-Hello, nice to see you.
MAN 1 :
Manny, how do you
fight overconfidence?
You've got all these people here,
you've got so many people in your ear,
telling you how great you are.
MAN 2:
Do you think you'll go down
as an all time great in boxing?
Mmm, l don't know.
[ALL LAUGHlNG]
MAN 2:
Don't you care though
what people think about you?
People say Muhammad Ali
is one of the greatest evers.
Don't you want people
to talk about you like that?
[MANNY SPEAKlNG FlLlPlNO]
People tell me about my greatness.
They want to know how l got here.
Manny, right here.
With the one and only, Manny Pacquiao.
Who else do you want to fight after...
Everyone around the world knows you.
You're a great humanitarian.
Do you need to win this fight
by knockout...
[MANNY SPEAKlNG FlLlPlNO]
As l look back on my life, there have
been so many twists and turns,
The people who celebrate me now can't
really understand where l come from.
[CAMERAS CLlCKlNG]
