The scheduled 12-round bout was held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas (Nevada), before 18,000 spectators who were divided throughout the fight and ultimately booed the verdict given by the three judges who would be favorable to Pacquiao, 32, who made his third title defense.
The vote was 114-114 for Judge Robert Hoyle, while Dave Moretti and Glenn Trowbridge saw gave 115-113 116-112, both in favor of Pacquiao, who took a bag of 22 million dollars and left its mark on (2/3/54, 38 KOs).
Pacquiao's win also allowed to leave the trilogy decided against Marquez after clashes in 2004 and made a no contest in 2008, the Filipino boxer won the split decision victory and the same controversy that has occurred in the third and final fight.
Meanwhile, Marquez, 38, who dominated the first part of the fight to put the best shots and not let his guard Pacquiao entered at the end could not hold back the greatest boxer filipino physicist who rallied to get more points on the cards of judges.
However, Marquez stayed with mark (06/01/52, 38 KOs) and a bag of five million dollars - the best of his career - he thought he had won the fight and at the end raised arms while receiving a standing ovation from the fans who supported him throughout the fight.
The judges did not see it well and felt that Pacquiao was a good fight against a great opponent and the only thing I had missed were the decisive blows, but again the punishment fit well received, was always ahead and was imposed by the pace of the fight.
Now wait for the possibility of Pacquiao in 2012 to face Floyd Mayweather Jr., but he would not against the Filipino champion boxer, Marquez would have his chance against the undefeated American with whom he fought and lost.
