In Las Vegas Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez gave the sold-out crowd at the MGM Grand Garden Arena an intense fight that lasted all 12 rounds. The fight represented boxing at its best filled with sharp punches and jabs but in the end majority rules and Pacquiao came out victorious. Pacquiao has beaten some of the greatest boxers of all time such as Los Angeles "Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya. Marquez spoke in an interview after the fight about how disappointed he was and said, "It happened again. I don't think there is much more I can do in the ring." Promoter Bob Arum is determined to "have a fourth fight, in May of 2012" and Pacquiao has his eyes set on Mayweather. "Let's make the fight happen and give the people a good fight."
Also in the news ESPN reported UFC fighter Junior Dos Santos defeated his opponent Cain Velasquez for the "heavy weight title." The fight lasted exactly 64 seconds in Anaheim, California and Velasquez surrendered his title by getting knocked out in the first round.
