Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Márquez IV (2012) Their fourth meeting ended in stunning fashion: a single, concussive right hand from Márquez knocked Pacquiao unconscious face-first onto the canvas in Round 6. After years of near-misses—two controversial draws and a disputed Pacquiao win—the Mexican legend finally got definitive closure. The buildup was personal; both fighters felt disrespected by judges and history. Márquez, 39, trained obsessively, adding muscle and refining timing. When the opening came, he seized it with surgical precision. Pacquiao lay motionless for minutes, underscoring boxing’s peril. The knockout reverberated globally, altering legacies overnight. For Pacquiao, it was a humbling fall; for Márquez, poetic justice. More than a finish, it was a reminder that in boxing, truth arrives without warning—and often with brutal finality.
