“In our books, he lost the fight,” said Nathanielsz in an interview on dzMM.
“I thought Marquez was at times faster than Pacquiao and he had good punches,”
“Maganda 'yung galaw ni Marquez at saka ‘yong his strategy was really perfect.”
Atty. Ed Tolentino believes Marquez prepared well for the fight.
“I think Marquez, ginawa niya 'yong kanyang homework. Ginawa niya 'yong kanyang assignment. Ang hindi natin maintindihan kung anong nangyari sa scorecards... pero that is the result eh,” he said.
“Kinakailangan dito, masakit mang sabihin, kailangang magkadaupang kamao ulit ang dalawang ito. Apparently ang rivalry na ito has 9 lives eh... mukhang hindi pa talaga tapos,” he said.
Nathanielsz said Pacquiao didn’t seem his usual self in the fight.He said Pacquiao looked tight and tense while trading punches against Marquez.
“Pacquiao was tight… gigil na gigil. It was not the Manny Pacquiao we know,” said Nathanielsz.
Tolentino agreed.
“Alam mo nung pinapanood ko 'yong laban, akala ko si Manny Paksiw at hindi si Manny Pacquiao ‘yong pinapanood ko eh. That is how different Pacquiao looked,” Tolentino said.

Mexican Fighter revealed that he discontinued his most famous training regimens : drinking his own URINE
In Episode 2 of HBO 24/7, his doctor adviced him to stop his practice.
"On the advice of my doctor and my physical trainer Angel (Hernandez), they told us we should stop," Marquez said. "We're looking for what can help me, and if the doctor says no longer drinking it will help, then we'll stop."
HBO 24/7 present: PACQUIAO VS. MARQUEZ 3

Episode 2:
The Philippine National Police (PNP) on Tuesday said a suspect in the killing of international singer Charice Pempengco’ father was arrested hours after the incident on Monday night in Laguna Province.
Reports reaching the PNP national headquarters in Camp Crame said the San Pedro, Laguna Police arrested Angel Capili, during a follow-up operation.
Initial investigation by the Laguna Police Provincial Office (LPPO) showed personal grudge was the motive behind the killing of Ricky Pempengco of Barangay Laram, San Pedro.
In his report to PNP spokesman Chief Supt. Agrimero Cruz, San Pedro Police chief Senior Superintendent Kirby Kraft, said Capili was apparently slighted because Pempengco ignored his presence.
Capili was sighted in another table with another group while Ricky Pempengco was with other friends during a drinking spree.
Kraft said Pempengco was buying cigarettes at a store along A. Bonifacio Road, also in Barangay Laram, when Capili attacked him with a 12-inch ice pick.
Pempengco managed to walk away and then sit on a pavement, but the suspect went back for him and stabbed him again. Capili fled the scene.
Kraft said Pempengco, who is separated from Charice’s mother, might have survived the stabbing had barangay officials been able to rush him to the hospital. Pempengco’s drinking buddies didn’t help him since they were afraid of getting hurt.
Witnesses said in 2005, Pempengco quarreled with Capili.
Raquel Pempengco, Charice’s mother, burst into tears after she found out that her children’s biological father was killed in a stabbing incident.
Charice said in her Twitter account that she cancelled her upcoming performance in Singapore, as she grieves over the death of her father Ricky Pempengco. Charice made the statement on her official Twitter account, just after she found out about the murder of her father.
The singer apologized to her fans in Singapore who want to see her perform, but she explained that she needs to go back to Manila to be with her family, who is in mourning.
“I am very sorry to all my fans from Singapore. I am not going to be there to be part of David Foster and Friends concert. I have to go back to the Philippines as soon as possible to be with my family. I hope you all understand. I love you all and I will see you next year,” Charice said.
TWEET FOR DAD'S RELATIVES.
Samantala, naging maanghang naman ang tono ni Charice sa kanyang mahabang tweet tungkol sa umano'y negatibong reaksiyon na narinig niya mula sa ilang kaanak ng kanyang ama.
Heto ang kanyang post bandang alas-otso ng umaga, November 1 (published as is):
"para sa mga kapatid ng daddy ko, wala kayong karapatang sabihin o hulaan ang nararamdaman ko. Sino kayo para sabihing masaya ako sa pagkawala ng SARILI KONG AMA?
"Kapatid lang kayo at ako ay ANAK.
"Kung natatandaan niyo, KAYO MISMO ANG NAGSABI SA AMIN NA IWASAN ANG DADDY KO.
"Sinabi nyo pa na wag gamitin ang apelyido nya. Hindi pinagbawal ni mommy na dalawin ang daddy namin pero HINDI NIYO KAMI PINAYAGAN. Wala kayong respeto sa PAMILYA NYA para sabihin nyo yan ngayon. Imbis na ayusin nyo, sinisira nyo pa!
"Alam ko na nagalit ako sa kanya! Pero hindi ko sinabing itinakwil ko sya.
"matagal akong naging tahimik sa mga eskandalong ginagawa nyo. Pero ngayon, di ko na kaya pati sa pagkamatay niya GANYAN PARIN KAYO. Hindi ako takot. Lalo na sa mgataong walang respeto."
