Juan Manuel Marquez won’t have to worry about this one going to the judges’ scorecards. This time, once and for all, Marquez took matters into his own hands against Manny Pacquiao. His right hand, actually. Marquez’s straight right at the 2:59 mark of the sixth round, one second before the round ended, knocked Pacquiao out cold to the canvas to give the 39-year-old Mexican Marquez revenge against his nemesis and the knockout victory. Marquez, after arguably winning the other three fights against Pacquiao dating back to 2004, won’t have to worry about those past disappointments after tonight. With one punch, ...

UFC 158
Nick Diaz fails to back up years worth of talk

UFC 158 A welterweight title fight that felt incredibly different wound up remarkably the same. Georges St. Pierre manhandled nemesis Nick Diaz with his wrestling. St. Pierre won every round on every judges' scorecard in Montreal for his sixth straight unanimous-decision victory. Diaz had preached his superiority over St. Pierre for years, but when he finally got his chance, he looked as helpless as all the other challengers to the 170-pound division's throne in the last six years. St. Pierre's consistency continued to amaze. Now it's on to Johny Hendricks, who defeated Carlos Condit in the evening's co-main event. Could he be the one to finally threaten St. Pierre?
