MANILA, Philippines — Both Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez were feeling each other out although Marquez tagged Pacquiao with a couple of body shots.
Pacquiao is fighting the counter-punching Marquez for the third time — hoping to finally settle the score.
The first match in 2004 saw Marquez rally from three knockdowns in the first round to forge a controversial draw.
In the second meeting, meanwhile, Pacquiao chalked up a narrow split decision in 2007, highlighted by a third-round knockdown of Marquez.
Pacquiao has won his last 14 fights. His last loss was to Erik Morales in 2005.
