I think the analysts did a good job of explaining why the decision went to Manny Pacquiao. Basically, Pacquiao made the fight. He came forward and he landed more. Marquez was so tentative, cautious to throw. He DID NOT DO ENOUGH TO WIN. It's simple as that. And I disliked how Marquez was a sore loser and left the ring. It was a close fight, just like the second fight, and Manny DID ENOUGH TO WIN. That's it.
Lol, so much for the fox debut. 1 min and 6 seconds.
On the bright side we saw what a boxer would do to any mma fighter who stood with him.
This.
So true.
I would say I'm a Big fan of his. I've been watching him for many fights now. Watched his documentary (His Story So Far), seen him get knocked down and get back up to win. Impressive young fighter.
I gotta say, one of my favorite moments was seeing him on 24/7 at Wild Card Gym, taking guidance from Freddie Roach and sparring Manny Pacquiao. What an incredible collaboration. Blew my mind. Had me smiling from ear to ear.
Oh, and to get back to the OP's point - I'm Vietnamese-American.
Both sides want the fight. They've both said it. There WILL be a rematch, so chill out. Question is, now or later? I hope sooner.
Khan's not duckin anyone yet. You don't think he wants to revenge his only loss?
Pacman has faster hands but Amir is quite fast himself, but not as fast. You've seen this in the HBO 24/7 when they sparred. Pacquiao was hitting him at will.
It's shit like this that gives boxing a bad name. Juarez was out of the fight until the end. That does not make it a draw. Chris John won it fair and square. He had a good debut on American TV. It was a fantastic fight that ended with an outrageous outcome. Fcuked up.
I was lookin for the Top Rank Card, Props Homie -
I'll be watching the Showtime Card on my TV in HiDef, recording it too on DVR.
Can't wait to see it go down tonight. Gonna be some tricks and treats. :boxing:
I thought it was sick how Chad came out to T.I. ft. Rihanna - Live Your Life.
I couldn't figure out what song Tarver came out to. Does anyone know?
Oh, and Showtime's focus on the wives of both fighters was cool. Tarver's wife is Incredibly Beautiful. Gorgeous.
Jimmy Lennon Jr just spit "It's Showtime!"
WTF is Chad doin
He didn't do anything for the last 30-45 seconds. He just let that round slip away maybe.
Tarver landed some nice in the later part of this Round (3).
