I think the 118-w/e was a bit rediculous.
But the 116 points in favor of Marquez were spot on in my eyes.
I was looking at Lederman card and was amazed at some of the rounds he scored.
I saw Barrera dominate a round, only to see Lederman give the round to Marquez. And vise Versa.
I hate how he scores fights a lot of the times, i have no idea how he does it. Hes gettin everyone thinkin that Barrera won the fight, even though he admited himself it could have gone either way.
Whatever he scores the fight as, everyone seems to agree with. And when the judges scores are completely different, they are shocked.
In this case, i thought 2 of the 3 judges were pretty accurate.
Marquez was the one making it a fight, he got off first nearly everytime. He was adding effective pressure. He was landing the harder shots. He was throwing bombs that nailed Barrera and hurt him badly in the 7th.
As CLOSE and hard fought as the rounds were, in the end i thought Marquez won the majority of them.
I did however, think FORBES got robbed, even though im a fairly big D. HOPKINS fan.
okey so most guys here dont agree with the scoring but JMM clearly won it??
for now i will settle for that and consider JMM as the best Mexican at 130...
bring on pacman!
THE "SLIP" WAS DEFINITELY A KNOCKDOWN. I COULD SEE THAT BEFORE THE REPLAY....WE NEED INSTANT REPLAY!!!
I'd have to go back and watch it again but I think Nady was standing right behind Barrera and missed it. The way I figure it he's thinking Marquez had Barrera fucked up and was throwing bombs so of course Marco being a genius and pulling out the knockdown is impossible, but instead Marquez just slipped while throwing one of his power shots. Meh, know knows.
That has to be the single worst call i have ever scene by a ref in a PPV main even, or even a main event in general.
SOOO clear was the KD, that everyone in the room with me stood up immidiately. Some are hardly fans of the sport.
It was soooo clear, and would have been such a dramatic and compelling end to what was a lopsided MARQUEZ round.
I HATE NADY!!!!! I HAVE ALWAYS HATED HIM!!!!!
yea Barrera was hurt bad and i was wondering if hes even survive the round. Then he floors Marquez. That would have been on hell of a round. But stupid reffing and controvery ruined it.
Goldenboy Promotions are the new Don King of boxing. Sucks.
I agree with you on this one and Nady is the new Richard Steele :D
I did have JMM win the fight by two points

All the scores tonight were a bit off.
Demetrius Hopkins got a gift from his uncle Bernard when Goldenboy was able to buy him a victory in an under card fight the judges probably thought had small enough implications it was alright to sell their score.
I actually agreed with Lederman in the Barrera fight- but it was one of those fights that could have gone either way. I would have accepted a close Marquez win and said, "Bring on the rematch". Giving Barrera only two rounds to his credit is complete and utter bullshit. Even as it was I think Marquez won by far too wide a margin. So no, I don't agree with the scored. Maybe the right man won- maybe- but not by the correct scores.

GBP has put together some TREMENDOUS cards and matchups.
I thought this really proved it. Every fight was a very good fight.
And Don King was corrupt and a joke and a lot of fans dont even want him living anymore. lol
i think GBP is the definition of a promotional team/company that is good for boxing.
The PPV cards they put out are well worth the doe
Yeh HBO talk shit,i think Sky Sports are much better,they tell it how it is,never biased,something i noticed about HBO,they talk about 1 guy,talk about his life etc. while hes losing the round,they talk so much about him that when the round ends they dont actually acknowledge what the other fighter has been doing in there,and end up giving the round to the wrong person,they do this alot
fk lederman, he is some *** which doesn't even watch the fight and just checks out the fighters' bodies..
i had marquez winning but by a closer margin, perhaps 3 rounds the better...
Barrera should/could have been DQ'd for that punch when Marquez was on all four!
Barrera didnt say he thought it could go either way. He said he thought he won the fight but didnt because the ref and judges.
and Forbes was robbed blind.
no i meant lederman admitted the fight could go either way. Not barrera. Barrera was pretty adimant that he had it in the bag
