Just watched and scored Marquez-Pacquiao..

[-Antonio-]

Actually, he just needed eight rounds and I thought he got them but there are some tough rounds to score.

OK I stand corrected. Either way, the past two times I saw it, I thought Pacquiao won clear. That's how I saw it.

Marquez was down 5 points after the first two rounds. He would have had to win 9 out of the next 10 rounds to win the fight. I didnt see that happening. Not even close. Pacquiao won at least two rounds after that I thought.

I agree theres no way Marquez won 9 out of the last ten rounds in that fight

No.! You where right he needed 9 out of ten. The first round was 10-6 and the second 10-9. So after 2 rounds the scores where 20-15 in favor of Pacquiao!!!!

There are only 4 rounds that was clear the rest can go either way.

sample :

Round 1 : JMM landed a very clean and head snapping blow but PAC outlanded him by a mile. so who do you give it to?

If you split the 8 rounds you have it 114-113 Pacquiao

If you have it 5 rounds for JMM then 115- 113 JMM

If you have it 5 rounds for PAC then 115-112 Pacquiao

I repeat all 8 rounds are close you can even have it 118-110 Marquez or 118-109 Pacquiao and would still be able to justify it.

I had JMM winning both fights but both were nightmares to score so I don't argue hard either way. Some close fights really are best left the judges.

Very good post. A powerfull green for you!

I had the 2nd fight 114-113 for Marquez.
I actually had the 1st a draw. I forget which round, I think its the 10th, it was simply way too hard to score, so I called it even. it was the slowest round of that outstanding fight.

dont have any problem with a Pacquiao win in either fight.

can you not do simple math? marquez only needed 8 rounds in the fight to win it. if marquez won 8 rounds the score is 113-112

So explain to me how if Marquez wins 8 of the last 10 rounds, thus compiling a 6 point advantage over those 10 rounds, he doesn't win the fight by a point?
