Ring Awards Pacquiao, But Says Marquez Won

[medium-deek]

Very bad second paragraph in the article. The writer uses the words: "national treasure" twice. Comes across as amatuerish journalism. Didn't he learn in school you dont use the same discription twice?

if you go by compubox, marquez won the fight. try again

Fights are judged on a round by round basis last time I checked. Compubox has the fight for Pac. And that's not counting the 2nd KD. You need to check your comprehension skills.

overall stats are misleading and you should be intelligent enough to know this. judges score per round and if you get the stats PER round (why didnt you incude this?), you'll see that pac won more rounds, plus a knockdown to boot.

it's like if jmm threw 100 and pac 20 in round 1. then the next 11 rounds pac edge jmm by 10 to 5, thereby winning the next 11. the total stats would be155 jmm 130 pac. jmm would have won base only on stats but in reality pac won 11 rds to 1.

forget the rest of the article, the part that intrigued me the most is saying that since Manny will move up in weight, Marquez is #1, Joan Guzman is #2, a fight between them is only logical and would crown the winner the title holder. Now that's dope!

WTF is the Ring doing?

DLH shouldn't have bought the Ring Mag.

It really lost its independence once one of the big players took a slice of its cake.

Just too darn bad.

And that's not including the 2nd KD that wasn't made official by the ref. GG Marquez. You deserve another shot, but you lost this one.

I don't know why there are a bunch of sore losers. The punch stats don't mean ****, because it goes by rounds won. Pac-man won 7-5 rounds and had the knockdown which gave him three points ahead 115-112. Even if it was 6 rounds split, Pacquiao had the knockdown, and it would be 114-113. Marquez lands 15 more punches, WOW! That was close stats. Outboxed would be 170 to 80 like lueveno/jandaeng. Look at the punches thrown. Pacquiao threw half 108 more and if you actually watched the fight, he was the agressor and was pushing the pace the whole time. Most judges will score for the agressor and especially when he is landing the harder shots. If Marquez wants the rematch, claim 130lb supremacy and chase Pacquiao at 135lb.

Not to mention the doctor could very well have stopped the fight on 2 occasions. Once at the end of rd 3 as JMM was about 3 steps away from sitting on Pac' stool and collecting advice from Freddy Roach. Lol. 2nd time at the end of the 10th cuz of the headbutt cut. Scorecards then would have painted a much different story as all 3 judges awarded rounds 11 and 12 to JMM.. Had the fight stopped at the end of the tenth, scorecards would have read 95-94 JMM. 97-92 Pacquiao and 96-93 Pacquiao . And we would be bickering about a completely different controversy but have Pacquiao pretty dominantly ahead.
