The only advantage the champion has is that he gets to keep his title in case of a draw. Manny Pacquiao won because two of the judges scored more rounds for him.

Many emotional fans expected Pacquiao to win by a knockout. Thus, when Manny failed to floor Marquez, fans blamed their hero.

Sometimes Manny Pacquiao needs a little bit of prodding. He has often eased up on opponents because he does not want to cause them any more pain. Against Marquez, this will not be a problem.

To ensure that the Narvaez debacle wil not happen again, Top Rank has promised a $100,000 "win" bonus for the next Donaire fight. This means that the winner will get the money on top of the guaranteed purse.

Is Narvaez to blame for what happened? Yes, absolutely. However, he shouldn’t take all of the blame. There are other individuals who had their hand in giving the fans that horrible 12 round match.

Is Narvaez a legitimate challenge for Donaire? I don’t think so. Was he a good choice for an opponent? Most definitely.
