Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito, billed as World Super Welterweight Championship, was a Super Welterweight fight for the WBC Super Welterweight championship. The bout was held on November 13, 2010, at Cowboys Stadium, in Arlington, Texas, United States. The match was put together after the second negotiation for the long awaited "superfight" between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. had failed.
During the fight, 41,734 fans were in the Cowboys Stadium to witness what might have been Pacquiao's last fight but after the bout HBO commentator Max Kellerman ask Pacquiao if he will keep on fighting, Pacquiao simply replied "I'm still strong and I will keep on fighting."[1]

Despite his size (5'6 1/2" vs Margarito's 5'11"), weight (148 lbs vs. Margarito's 165 lbs, ((Margarito weighed-in at 150 even, Pacquiao 144.6))[1], Pacquiao continuously hammered Margarito with his superior speed and technique. During the fight, Margarito sustained 3 cuts, underneath and above his right eye and one below his left eye, prompting Pacquiao to ask the referee to stop the fight.[2] Ringside commentators agreed as well that the fight should have been stopped.
The fight ended on the 12th round with Pacquiao winning via unanimous decision over Margarito. Judges' scores were Juergen Langos 120-108, Glen Rick Crocker 118-110, and Oren Shellenberger 119-109 in favor of Pacquiao.[3] Due to his injuries, Margarito went directly to the hospital after the fight.[2][4]
In the post-fight interview, Pacquiao was asked if he held back during the last round, and Pacquiao said he just let the 3 minutes run out and that "Boxing was not for killing". When asked about his thoughts about a fight with Floyd Mayweather, Jr., Pacquiao simply replied that he did not need Mayweather, and that if it happened, it would be good for both of them and boxing's fans.
Because of Pacquiao's performance and ability to throw strings of multiple rapid punches, Pay-per-view's commentators said that Pacquiao was even better than Ali as Ali was a "one punch guy".
