Take away the baised commentators and Marquez didn't do so bad

[-Hyperion-]

oh and emmanuel steward sees an explosive punch be fired and he immediatly thinks it lands........he did this in the clottey fight too.....anyone who has that fight in HD and sees the fight can telll 70% of Clottey jabs that steward says are landing, arent......so be an explosive fighter if you want HBO and Compubox in your nuts .....

[tito yuca]

look at it this way, If Marquez was the top dog in this fight, every round where he rocked Mayweather - would have gone to him. That's how the judges and commentators think.

Marquez ROCKED Floyd? Did I miss something?

[RingTech01]

hatton was in the fight more than marquez. his style gave floyd some difficulty but it was floyd's fight.

If this fight proves ANYTHING, its that 90% of the people(idiots) in here believe what the commentators tell them......commentary was so badly on floyds nuts, he was winning rounds, clearly, but he wasnt even doing that great..........marquez was doing a bit better than give credit for (AND COMPUBOX IS CRAP.......HBO SHOULD REALLY SCRAP COMPUBOX, ITS DISGRACEFUL HOW THEY MAKE YOU BELIEVE TWO BLIND WANKERS PRESSING A BUTTON THEY THINK THEY SAW LAND ARE IMPORTANT AND VITAL)

FLoyd kicked Marquez's ass in 2 rounds, 10 and 11....beat him very clearly in like 4 more
and pretty much did enough jabs to the stomach and a n ocassional flashy punch to steal all the rest he won(including the knockdown round which was pretty even before and after the knockdown), along with marquez not being able to land much eye catching shots...if any....but he WAS landing and cleanly-cleanly means that floyd neither turned nor blocked it, not that it was effective so hold your **** *****s-, just messy with no power and non effective)....mayweather missed a ****load when marquez used his upper body properly....problem is floyd would then just go to the body with the jab and land to the very squared up marquez....(though the HBO crew would have you believ he wasnt missing a shot)...................

marquez really had a good gameplan to make floyd look a bit bad....not chase him like a moron, and with his skill, could pull off making floyd miss and **** while boxing......problem is he has always been vulnerable to jabs, body punches because of his stance and style, and floyd has his style sold to everyone so everyone overrates a bit(or a lot) what he does.....
and of course once JMM was tired and desperate, floyd stepped on the gas

floyd won clearly and wide........but this was no schooling.....just another usual mayweather overcautious underwhelming performance, with the flash to wow guillable people who give status too much respect.....

that said, mayweather could really be a much better fighter if he just tried harder...and his conditioning and poise in fighting are incredible, thats what makes him a hard fight for anyone....

I don't know what the *** is up with this thread apples.

I know you love JMM and all but you are typically a fairly stand-up poster so this kinda surprises me.

Marquez lost every round in this fight. No question. It was a mismatch on several levels.

is compubox being controlled by a machine?

[daggum]

this thread is going nowhere and since no one else is gonna do it i will

after rewatching the fight with the sound off i scored it 114-113 marquez..................

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

is compubox being controlled by a machine?

Nope

its just a guy counting punches in the front row.

[MissDeeCole]

yeah the commentary was awful, almost as bad as the compubox stats

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

(AND COMPUBOX IS CRAP.......HBO SHOULD REALLY SCRAP COMPUBOX, ITS DISGRACEFUL HOW THEY MAKE YOU BELIEVE TWO BLIND WANKERS PRESSING A BUTTON THEY THINK THEY SAW LAND ARE IMPORTANT AND VITAL)
.

I agree totally with this!!!


In the Cotto-Clottey fight they credited Clottey with 19 landed shots in the 6th round, and he didnt even threw 19 punches!!!!
