'nough wid da crap
Face it peeps, whether the score was biased or who should have won. History will still go down with Pac as the winner.
In the fight it is clear that Pac did not win (convincingly) and JMM did not win (convincingly too)... It all went down to who was being challenged. As the challenger... JMM should have done more than backpedaled most ways.
To beat that realization to the judges, he should convince them that he deserve the win... yet he did not. Standing toe to toe against someone like Pac who (we must admit) is at the top podium can only get you a draw or worse like this - a loss.
If this was a street brawl, we can say both men can end up 10 times ugly than what they supposed to be now... but hey, that is why there's the org called a "boxing committee" - however crappy... decides the outcome of the fight... not the court-side fans or the one slouching on the couch having beer and munching on crap.... beat that in ya head....:nnnnbat:
Manny 115-113
Manny 1,4,6,9,10,11,12
JMM 2,3,5,7,8
Manny 7 rounds to 5
I really don't see the controversy as Manny clearly won a close fight by two, possible three rounds.
Pac definitely won 1, 3, 4 and 12. that's 4. JMM DEFINITELY won 2, 5, 7 and I believe it was 8 or 9. The other 4 were damn close and it depends on styles and biased nature. If your implying over a 7-5 score card either way you are just implying you are extremely biased. so 8-4 score cards should be removed from the thread due to stupidity.
8 - 3 - 1 Marquez
Marquez was landing the more effective punches. Marquez continuously stunned Pacquiao and snap his head back with punches. Marquez boxed beautifully. Just beat the living piss out of the "rated #1 p4p fighter in the world" and by the way if anyone beleives the compu box bull**** they got problems
When I see scorecards as a draw or pac winning i feel like i woke up in a Twilight zone episode where the whole world is on crack. 116-112 Marquez, and that's being generous to Pacquiao. I was a Pacquiao fan but this decision was obscene. Marquez outclassed him easily.
espn.com - 114-114
associated press - 114-114
dan rafael - 114-114
They showed Dan Rafael scored on ESPN tv and i thought it was 7-5 for Pac.
This is another fight that is a closed fight that could have gone either way.
