The second round of the HBO pay-per-view bout between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez saw the men come out still fighting somewhat cautious. Marquez threw a stiff jab and tried to follow up with a right hand which missed. Pacquiao came back with a left hand to the face.
Marquez continued to think body throwing jabs downstairs but Pacquiao answered with his own body shot and a stiff jab. Marquez went body, uppercut and a right hand -- that was his best combination of the fight so far -- and then a right hand that got through a bit. Pacquiao returned with a left hand and body shot.
The two men opened up much more this round with power shots and it was close again but I'd give a slight edge to Pacquiao.
Round: 10-9 Pacquiao
Fight: 20-18 Pacquiao
