Knockout of the Year; 2012 : Juan Manuel Marquez KO6 Manny Pacquiao IV

One of the most famous clips in boxing history, 2 of the all time greats, 2 for sure future hall of famers & probably the best knockout in all modern history in combat sport. A tremendous fight where Pacquiao & Marquez would trade knockdowns, hurt each other along the way before Marquez unleashed a devastating overhand right to Pacquiao's face at the bell of round 6 that put PacMan flat on his face.

I had a friend from the Philippines who watched this fight live with his family. After the KO, his entire family froze in shock. He also talked about the KO for like a week and how painful it was.

Marques made a whole nation cry with that KO... true story 🤷🏿

He sent pacman to the ancient azteca world for few seconds.

“He’s not getting up Jim!” One of the most iconic broadcast moments in sports history

You literally couldn’t be more knocked out than this the max.

Pacman always tried to KO his opponents before this match. After this match, he became much more conservative and cautious. I am sure Marquez had studied the movements of Pacman very well before this match. His KO counter punch was kind of like some kind of natural relax.

Love seeing the old guys reaction in front row as if he just lost all his money betting on Manny

The ko of the millennium...at moment...

Kinda ironic how pacman, one of the best at handing devastating knockouts, was the victim of arguably the most shocking one in my lifetime.

[bloodbankjiujitsu]

Has to be the greatest knock out of all time boxing history.

Even Marquez got freaked out for a moment: he thought he just killed Pacquiao.
A punch like that delivered to a person without boxing training is an instant death.

All in all, one of the best fights ever. Thrilling from start to end.

You can see the shockwave roll through Manny’s back. What a punch! 🥊

That lead right was Pacquiao's Kryptonite.

Pacquiao stunned Marquez earlier in the round and was pressing the attack. He thought Marquez was hurt and going to move back to see out the round but instead he stepped forward. Incredible punch and the fights between these 2 are some of the best in boxing history.

JMM says in a interview, he studied Paquiao’s mistakes to capitalize on them and knocked out his sparring opponents twice training with the same move.

Scary knockout!! Marquez lined that up perfectly. Pac Man didn't see it! Right hand for the ages! Glad Pac Man was ok after the fight! Was concerned about his health.

[shachaarshamiwan]

That counter punch was beautiful science.

[irh]

That KO was sublime still to this day have not seen better and wasn’t expecting this.

[fubsmavz]

Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao are the greatest rival ever! Kudos to these two who reached their rivalry into four epic matches!

I can't believe this fight was 2012.. In my mind i thought this was 2017 or just 2 years ago 🤔😳
