Your JMM-Pac scorecards?

[Memorex]

The main HBO analyists, including that high-pitched loon who does the scoring, had Pac winning. Case reopened.

The fight could be scored either way, I had Marquez winning the fight.
Somebody lift the ban on the texas kid!

For me, though JMM gets kudos for fighting back, controlling the tempo, applying his technical skills, etc, etc, Pac was still winning enough of the rounds. He was jumping in with volumes of power shots to take five of the rounds from 2-12 for me. Sure, he looked a little one dimensional, but when you're leaping in rocking back your opponent and not taking enough in return, you're edging the rounds.

I know, I know, "welcome to 2004". I missed it at the time and I've only just got chance to catch up.

If you want to join in, post your cards here (and if you don't want to join in, why are you reading the thread?)

114-111 for Pacquaio IMO.

I gave Pacquiao 2 more rounds than you for a 116-109 victory. Pacquiao hits so much harder so he took 2 of those starred rounds you have up there.

That's fair enough.

Texas Kid was banned? Why?

I have no idea, he never said anything that was ban worthy.

He did flame me a lot, personally.

I hate this never ending argument though it draws so much anger from both sides that it'll never end. Funny ****. Well my 2 cents are Marquez couldn't have come away with a win. He would literally have had to win every round after round 1 and that did not happen unless ur pure nut hugger riding Marquez's balls out of the arena. Manny obviously won 1st 10-6, and then I would have given him 4 more rounds, particularly the final rounds where Marquez did slow down a notch and was still eating straight lefts. Eitherway, a rematch will see Marquez killed. Nough said.

114-111, I gave Pacquiao the first round 10-6 because if you score it anyways else, you're incorrect. Marquez I felt won the third round big, and then went on to take the next 5 rounds on my card. Then in the eighth, Pacquiao began to nullify Marquez's momentum by disengaging, stealing pitty pat points while Marquez looked for another way to create offense. Marquez won a close ninth, but Pacquiao hurt Marquez in the tenth on a straight left hand that rocked him on his heels. Marquez recovered very quickly and returned fire but with not a whole lot of steam. Nacho Beristain, who was playing it cool in the corner the whole fight, asked Marquez straight up "Did he hurt you?" . A close eleventh that could have gone either way, followed by a 12th that I felt Pacquiao was doing more scoring as the aggressor and I arrive at a 6-6 scorecard in rounds, but I went 10-6 in the first.
