Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez II-Scorecard Analysis

[PROD]

Earlier this month, The Boxing Bulletin's Score It! feature went back to May 8, 2004 for the first of the two dramatic battles between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez. For this edition, we're going to take a look at last year's bloody and equally contentious rematch.

The lightning fast Filipino southpaw came away from the Mandalay Bay that night with the win, but many fans felt the Mexican maestro deserved the verdict, leaving supporters of both warriors hotly debating the rightful winner.

Did the judges have it right? Let's take a look at our scorecards...

PACQUIAO beat JMM two times.
Anyone who thinks different should visit DR.PHIL!

[Jone2ts]

The knockdowns were never enough for me. Plus at most i think marquez was stunned not hurt he bounced back from all and IMO was able to fight on a higher level because of them. i felt marquez fought back hard and out boxed the man both times and was robbed.
