I just rewatched his third fight with Pacquiao and while I had Marquez slightly ahead by no means is this one of the worst decisions in history. Pacquiao had some good moments too. Does anyone agree?
no way did Pacquiao win the 3rd fight
Ronnie (Pac-Hugger) Nathanielz watched that fight with Ben Delgado and a licensed referee..... they ALL said Marquez won
pacfans trying to re-write history
I felt it always was. Rewatch the fight yourselves, Pac definitely wins it 7-5.
This fight was the classic case where the underdog did better than he was supposed to and spectators started awarding him brownie points for not getting blown out round after round.
Kinda like Malignaggi-Broner.
At the time i thought it was an absolute robbery. But it may have been the fact that i was a big Marquez fan expecting him to get KO'd badly, but he instead ended up fighting such a great fight. Very similar for me to the Maidana-Morales fight.
Watching the fight again years later though, i had it closer to a draw than anything. Marquez had the advantage 6-4 through 10 rounds imo but gave up the final two
Overall, the way i personally scored their first 3 fights:
1) Marquez 113-112
2) Pacquiao 114-113
3) Draw 114-114
thats the same way i saw it. I dont understand people who say this fight was a robbery and come out with a 9-3 card or some sh-ite. so marquez won 9 out of the first 10 rounds? get real. he dropped the last 2 clearly. did he win 6 or even 7 of the first 10? yes maybe. did he clearly win 7 of the first 10? absolutely not. 4 maybe 5 clearly and the rest were very close or pacs. that shouldn't equate to cruise mode in my mind.

very exaggerated, he lost 7-5.
the fact that he didn't get destroyed (when he was supposed to) doesn't automatically win the fight (i didn't know boxing fans gave out participation awards)
pacquiao fought him marquez while pacquiao was going throu marriage issues, and during marquez's first stage of steroid use, yet pacquiao still pulled out the victory.
marquez took his foot off the gas like an idiot. they were too scared to possibly get dropped that they gave up 10, 11, and 12. real talk, if you feel you were robbed not once, but twice, on a third fight you're still willing to leave it in the judges hands? that's just stupid
if ggg was able to get a 3rd fight with clenelo and still left it in the judges hands, he'd be just as stupid as marquez
poor pacquiao fans suffering from the curse of what wasn't rightfully earned. They can't live this down.
Anyone who doesn't think Marquez won fight 3. Name the specific 6 rounds that manny earned
Marquez was too good that night. There's no argument for manny even getting a draw.
It ended badly for manny as he was jacked in his very next fight with Timmeh
- -You on BALCO Juan vitamins to grow yer teefs back?
They got names?
Larry, Moe, Curly and Shemp?
I wouldn't call it a robbery.
Had it for JMM myself but it was close enough to go the other way.
Very tactical and nowhere as good as the other fights but jmm adjusted really well in the mid round and seemed to control more of the fight than pac.
The first 2 fights are close, had pac winning the first and scraping by the 2nd but that could be draw. 3rd fight has Marquez clear win.
People who talk all this robbery nonsense about the fights are delusional as ****. 3rd fight was the only one i would say we a robbery
i dont see how people think you can use compubox to score a fight
wtf ?
PAC hit him more and got hit less for the majority of the rounds,and since boxing is about hitting without getting hit,PAC won.
- -He means the Vegas judge who admitted he made the 1st rd scoring error that would have swung the fight to Manny instead of a draw.
Judges and refs almost never admit to errors, so that judge is to be applauded for manning up to the unfortunate controversy he caused.
Oh, so he didn't know how to score round 1 yet you trust he scored rounds 2-12 correctly? Nope.
By judges mistake, you mean that judge that had Manny winning?

That was the easiest fight of their 4 for Marquez. He won that **** easy!!! They just didn’t want to get in the way of May vs Pac. And Marquez knocked him out anyway in the 4th fight.
I had Manny winning all first 3 fights. The judges seem to agree besides the judging mistake of the first fight.
Go back and watch again without bias tho.

I love this fight. It separates the fans who know how to score fights from the clueless
117-111 Marquez
Marquez won every round besides 1, 11, and ,12 from what I remember
No way Marquez didn’t win 7 or more rounds
I take a person less seriously if they can’t see why this was a Marquez win
- -Marquez tough, but lacked the heart for his biggest payday ever, the immediate rematch of the draw for $700K.
Flew over to indonesia for $25k and let a green Chris John muller him.
BALCO Juan fans always crying about Manny like a buncha 13yr old school girls. Manny made BALCO Juan 5x the rest of his career earnings combined.
Also turned down the 5th fight that would net him $6-7mil to let Bradley pitterpatter him for peanuts. His fans prove daily they're just as shameless.
Roided out of his mind and still used his old (stepping on feet) tactics to prevent Pac from moving). Retired right after because he knew he couldn't do it again.
He couldn't KO again but Pacquiao but Pac could never KO him. Are you really talking steroids and leaving Pac out the conversation? Lol
I scored fight #3 a draw, while I had JMM winning fights 1 and 2. Don't recall the score on fight 1 but I had him winning fight #2 7 rounds to 5, with scores 114-113 because of the knockdown.

As you can see, Pacquiao landed significantly more power punches. The bigger punches by PAC.
Clear win for PAC.
That’s why he won.
Plus Marquez was stepping all over PACs feet, what a cheat. Poor sport.
Manny said it was their last fight going into it. Dont get to change his mind because he got rocked to sleep.
