Review: 2011-11-12, the third fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez was not a war as their second fight and it had not “unexpected moments” as in their first bout but it was just a good one and it was not as spectacular as we expected (or like other boxing fights of 2011 such as Wolak vs Rodriguez, Salido vs Juanma Lopez or Guerrero vs Katsidis), therefore we can’t give it more than three stars. Manny Pacquiao (53-3-2) entered as the No.1 welterweight in the world while Juan Manuel Marquez (53-5-1) entered as the No.1 lightweight. Pacquiao vs Marquez 3 was valid for the WBO welterweight title. Watch the video!

Review: 2011-11-12, nice knockout of Douglas Lima that defeated Ben Saunders in the second round but it is not enough for our three stars.

Saunders vs Lima is the final of the Bellator Welterweight Tournament (they fought a second time on September 20, 2013: Saunders vs Lima 2). Watch the video!

Review: 2011-11-12, even with the final TKO victory of Robert Peralta over Mackens Semerzier the fight doesn’t get two stars.
