after watching pac-jmm III again. without the tension and adrenaline rush

after watching it again here's my take round per round. no bias here. I had JMM winning when I watched it live, let's see it again without all the tension and adrenaline rush. haha round 1: 10-9 Pacquiao , Not much action but Manny tagged JMM more, with more solid shots. round 2: 10-9 JMM, solid counter punching although not much action, landed cleaner blows than Pacquiao round 3: 10-9 JMM, Countering Pacquiao every chance he gets, Pacquiao looks a bit confused round 4: 10-9 Pacquiao, Manny picking up the pace, tagging JMM with solid shots, although JMM landed a nice right hand that popped Manny's head at the end of the round round 5: 10-9 JMM, Manny's head was target practice for the right hand of Marquez this round round 6: 10-10 Draw, when Marquez hits solid, Pacquiao returns with another close combo. too close to call this round, nice action in this round round 7: 10-10 ,again too close to call. Pacquiao was getting tagged with right hands but landing some blazing combos on JMM, another even round round 8: 10-9 Pacquiao, By just a frickin inch, he landed very slightly more significant shots and combos this round, and just the more effective aggressor this round round 9: 10-9 Marquez, damn nice action packed round. Pac more the aggressor with f*ckin fast combos, but not hitting marquez much, Marquez landed more solid combos this round round 10: 10-9 Pacquiao, Marquez too conservative this round. Manny tagged him with good shots in his fast combos, round 11: 10-9 Pacquiao, Marquez was doing almost nothing but he did land a solid 1-2 on Pacquiao at the end of the round, but manny was dominating this round with combos that blitzed JMM round 12: 10-9 Pacquiao, another Pacquiao round. JMM landed a couple of solid shots.. could of done more, but he didn't, I don't know if it's because of what nacho saying that he was winning and he got it in the bag and he didn't wanna take anymore risks, or was he gassed?. Pacquiao landed more, and landed solid shots 116-114 Pacquiao. damn? maybe because of so much expectation from Pacquiao and so much underestimating of Marquez that we overlooked the fight? very close. Gotta give it to Pacquiao though..

I just re-watched the Portuguese broadcast and gave the fight to jmm 8 rounds to 5. punchstats are BS and should be banned. I have no idea why they have two human beings outside trying to keep track of punches even when some don't even land flush. i didnt know they fought 13 rounds

yet pacquiao landed more and their connection percentages was pretty close. now numbers isn't everything , this isn't baseball , but shows you right there the mindset people had watching the fight. pac landed more and they landed close to the same percentage......but people perceive it as if marquez was landing crazy and pac was missing wildly. perception. Perception is reality my men, and when perception is clouded (by dislike, hate, expectation, envy, hope, nationalism, etc), the you got bad judgement, anyways in the live fight (for me), Marquez give a beatdown (yeah, this dramatic), manny look like sh1t, etc,.......then re-watch, and i saw a closer fight (and im sure that the more the i see, the closer it gets), i still see Marquez winning BUT in a really close fight..........so yeah, perception is the key.........this 2 guys could fight 73432 times, and always will be a close fight...........

A draw would have been fair to IMO, but it was a close fight. Watch it with no expectations or bias as to who was supposed to walk over who and you'll see Pac actually did better in this fight against JMM than the first two. Most of us are just disappointed Pac didn't knock him down, especially when a guy like Katsidis did it recently. Pac also showed too much respect in this fight, like Nacho said, Pac has refined his game and is now more predictable because he's no longer like a wildcat in there.... that's really all it is man. jmm performed WAY better than anyone expected, so people think he should get the win. pac won a close fight, by landing more punches, because of his work rate and winning more rounds. jmm was more efficient but you don't win rounds by being efficient, you win rounds by hitting the other guy more.

I can't even believe there are people still denying that Marquez won or at the very least A DRAW. Marquez put on a damn boxing clinic. Seriously if Pac landed some of the shots Marquez landed, Marquez would've gone down. Marquez clearly landed the more crisper and effective shots, ofc Pac has a real power edge over Marquez. do you know what a boxing clinic is stupid? it was a close fight, how was that a boxing clinic? is pac that good now that it's considered a milestone achievement to have a close fight against him?

Round 1: Marquez. Neither guy did much, it was more of a feel out round, but both landed some punches, nothing too effective at all. I thought Marquez boxed well and avoided Pac nice in that round. Either way wouldn't have bothered me. Round 2: Marquez. Counter punched Pac well, Manny still unable to get much going. Marquez landed the cleaner punches. Round 3: Pacquiao. Manny landed some nice shots in the third and started to open I thought. He tagged Marquez more and his speed started showing up a bit. Round 4: Pacquiao. Marquez hit Manny clean a few times, but Manny landed the more telling punches, and started to pick it up again. After 4 rounds, I have it 38-38. Round 5: Marquez. His best round of the fight, landed counters at will. Made Pac look VERY frustrated. Round 6: Pacquiao. Close round, could have gone either way, but I thought Pacquiao landed the harder shots and landed a couple more punches. Still, Marquez countered Manny nicely. Round 7: Marquez. CLose round again, but I thought Marquez just got his punches off more than Pac, and countered anytime that Pac threw anything. Could have gone either way. Round 8: Pacquiao. Close round again, but Manny landed some really clean shots and looked physically stronger in round. Close round, but I'd give it to Manny. After 8, I have it 76-76. Round 9: Marquez. Pac steeped the pace, but many of his punches didn't land on Juan. Marquez countered again nicely, and traded with Pac. Marquez landed the cleaner punches. Round 10: Pacquiao. Marquez didn't do much this round, and Manny stepped up and landed cleaner shots. Round 11: Marquez. Close round I thought, Juan still hit Manny with counters and much more what Manny was throwing wasn't doing much that round. After 11, I have it 105-104 Marquez. Round 12: Pacquiao. Marquez WAY WAY WAY too conservative this round in a close fight. Manny didn't do much either, but was the main agressor this round. I had the fight 114-114 a draw. COuld have gone either way. I thought 116-112 was too wide. I can't see anyone having it 8 rounds to 4, like Lederman and one of the judges. A draw would have been fair to IMO, but it was a close fight. Watch it with no expectations or bias as to who was supposed to walk over who and you'll see Pac actually did better in this fight against JMM than the first two. Most of us are just disappointed Pac didn't knock him down, especially when a guy like Katsidis did it recently.

I still don't get how those compubox guys made those numbers ... 55 punches to Marquez chin? And just just 18 to Paquiao's chin? Really? Maybe you should rewatch the fight and count the number of times Pac tagged Marquez with that straight left over and over?

http://img38.imagefra.me/i5bd/theforceinc/xi2a_6cb_ucicz.jpg\ I like this picture. It shows exactly why the judges would give close rounds to Pac. JMM was landing clean body shots, but Pac was landing shots to the chin consistently. I still don't get how those compubox guys made those numbers ... 55 punches to Marquez chin? And just just 18 to Paquiao's chin? Really?

Again guys no bias here. Just decided to watch again more closely, Im no pactard or anything. Just saying it was a very close fight, I was defending JMM all the way until I watched the video again and saw how really close the fight was. and for all of you saying manny was admitting defeat because he walked away with his head down. wouldn't you? with all the sh*t coming from the Pacquiao camp saying they were gonna knock marquez out? 8-1 underdog and he still struggled? maybe he was dissapointed. but it didn't mean he knew he lost. regardless of how I think he won by a very close fight. I still think Mayweather would destroy him if he fought the version of manny last night.

Why are judges so scared to give rounds 10-10?

Although i am enjoying how all the Pactards are struggling to make it seem like manny really won!!!

dumber79

pac last 2 rounds? never - they were jmm's. up until that, though, i'd agree.

flipbjefrox

because you accept the tainted win that even pacman himself admitted losing to while walking back to his corner. yeah because u can read minds and knew exactly what he was thinking

No matter how many times anyone rewatches this fight its not going to change the fact that Manny is the GOLDEN CHILD of boxing!!!
