Boxing’s violent. That’s pretty much the point of boxing – organized violence. Oftentimes, it’s so violent that someone gets knocked down and can’t get back up for a considerable length of time. When this happens, a photographer at the match will take a picture of it… which is apparently all well and good as long as the guy getting knocked out isn’t Manny Pacquiao.

Anyone who saw Juan Manuel Marquez’s knockout of Manny Pacquiao Saturday would definitely say Pacquiao was KO’d in the most devastating of ways. But how devastating is too devastating? Thanks to HBO’s Jim Lampley, we now know.

Mitt Romney was at the Marquez-Pacquiao fight and he apparently had primo seats, good enough for this awesome reaction shot to Marquez’s knockout punch.

UPDATED: Sorry, guys. HBO took down the video. Hanukkah is cancelled :(

Welcome to another edition of “What Happened Last Night?” in which we look at stories of note from the previous evening in the sports world, just in case you missed it for whatever reason, although considering last night was Saturday night, I can imagine what you were up to. Anyway, let’s get you up to date.

What if we told you there was a new development to talk about in the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao saga? Would you get excited? Well, uh, don’t.

Today was not your typical Friday. For on this Friday, Floyd Maywaether Jr. was released from jail. The details, including a famous friend who was there to greet him, after the jump.

In the rankings that truly matter to sports fans, we have a new world’s highest paid athlete.

Saturday night’s fight between Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley was marred by controversy. Check out some of the best reactions to the fight.

By now you’ve probably heard about Timothy Bradley’s controversial victory by split decision over Manny Pacquiao last night. I’ve seen Twitter blow up before, but not with such visceral outrage. We’d give you a blow-by-blow of the nitty gritty, but in just over 12 hours this dead horse has been beaten enough already.
