It was indeed a thrilling fight, and both Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez were basically even up. But at the end, it was the Filipino star who edged the Mexican powerhouse by a majority decision in their remarkable trilogy Saturday.

At the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Pacquiao managed to retain his WBO welterweight champion title, thanks to a questionable majority decision. In the end of the fight, Pacquiao got the nod as two judges, Glenn Trowbridge and Dave Moretti, had scores of 116-112 and 115-113 respectively. The third judge, Robert Hoyle, had it 114-114.

After the thrilling fight, the crowd, filled with Marquez supporters, booed the decision and threw drink bottles at ringside to show their anger. The Marquez supporters were so loud that Pacquiao's post-fight comments into a microphone could hardly be heard.

With the narrow win, Pacquiao took his winning streak to 15. Here are the thrilling moments of the rivalry.
