In the rematch of a fight between two great boxers that ended in a draw, Manny Pacquiao came out victorious. I did not watch the fight but from what I've read it was just as entertaining as the first match with Pacquiao once again scoring knockdowns of Marquez. Even though the fight was ruled as a victory for Pacquiao, Marquez and his entourage felt that they were robbed of the victory which is extremely unclassy. 
Pacquiao is believed to be going up in weight in order to challenge David Diaz for his title. He has now beaten all of the competition in the weight class including several Hall of Famers: Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera, and now Juan Manuel Marquez.
In other boxing news Nikolai Valuev (the 7'0 tall former heavyweight champion) has agreed to a rematch with the man that took his title, Ruslan Chageav. Ruslan came out the victor in a very close match and I expect Valuev to prevail in the rematch because he has shown a large amount of improvement, particularly in his past two fights.
