Pacquiao is the harder puncher, but JMM does a great job neutralizing Manny's offense for long stretches, other than the two rounds in which he was knocked down.
Pacquiao gets more credit for being aggressive, and I think wins some close rounds he doesn't really deserve to win.
Even tonight, Emanuel Steward kept mentioning how strong Manny looked, and most of those comments were during the middle rounds where JMM was actually in control.
Both are great fighters. JMM is smarter, and Manny is the harder hitter, but more one-dimensional.
Styles make fights, and this was a great fight. I just thought JMM controlled more of the action, landed more effective punches, and eked out a close win.
