You can never teach an old dog with a new style. This is what we'd seen from the latest fight of  Juan Manuel Marquez against Manny Pacquiao. His footstep  is one way to out tempo his opponent or try to trap him for a while so his opponent won't able to step back. Its like you trapping a rat before it escape and hit it with your stick to knock him down.

Footstep and footloose

  Manny's got cramps on his leg because of this and also he got some damage because of the trap. This is why some others thought that Maquez got good clean punches and should had been the winner. I'm not sure if this kind dirty trick is allowed in pro-boxing, it looks cheating though. As we know Boxing supposed to use hands only and foot is used for balance, bringing the tempo or even running away. I think it would be nice if he has footstep style for running away and cry for help.

Robbed and the judges are blind?

The funny part is, after  announcing the winner and Marquez got his interview, he said he has been robbed. "Robbed" and the judges are blind or corrupted?. Does he has any idea what his talking about? You already cheating with your 'footstep' and you're drinking other than water during the fight which is illegal (a juice that looks like urine). Prior to that, their last 2nd match was supposed to be a TKO for Manny. A 4+ KO and you got a draw and now a fair decision, you're saying you been Robbed. Grow up and retire old man!!
