Pacquiao/Marquez Post Fight Discussion- Please re-vote in the poll. .

[Boxingtech718v2]

I am a day late to the party, and just was able to watch the fight, and all I can say is what a goddamn travesty.

I've been a Pacquiao fan for a long time.

What we saw was Marquez doing everything right. He won almost every single round. Pacquiao could not get anything working, the entire not long. Marquez put on a brilliant performance, and Manny had a bad night, not sure if it was an off night or not, or just Marquez shut him down, or whatever, but Pacquiao never got anything to work. Pacquiao knew he lost. His corner knew he lost. Ray Charles knew that he lost, for Christ sakes.

More than anything else, this kind of blatant corruption is going to be the death of boxing.

This is the type of honesty real boxing fans should have even when it is their favorite fighter that gets whipped.

emmanuel steward thinks pacquiao won

that marquez didnt do enough to get the belt.. emmanuel steward dont know sh.it about boxing?

[Flabulous]

And Steward was spot on about that. You should never tell a fighter he has a fight in the bag in those kind of circumstances. I think JMM would've fought more aggressively in the last couple rounds if it hadn't have been for that. The sad thing is the best he could've got was a draw though regardless because of that one paid off judge who had it 116-112 for Manny.

It's not like Manny took it to him those last two rounds.

[|STALLION|]

Manny's a lucky boy to have such a nice uncle.

[|STALLION|]

Not every boy is lucky enough to have an uncle as nice as Manny's uncle Bob.

[ßringer]

He's clearly living by that prehistoric logic that "the challenger must take the title dramatically".

Nope.

All you have to do is win more rounds. And Marquez did just that, twice as many, actually.

[Khalid X]

That you gave 8, 9 and 10 all to Pacquiao is telling enough.


Then one glances at the s/n, "-Top Rank- Boss of All Bosses", and it's "LOL, not this ****sucker again".


Just...quit posting and go wash Bobby Arum's ballsack. Thx.

This was a joke amongst an e-buddy of mine Shadows. We were on Jacks radio show and he stated he thought this gimmick was funny and how I should switch my username etc to this.

I've been to lazy to change it to something else, but I do find it funny that people still cry about it......."Ohh no it's Bob's assistant", "someone sent by Top Rank to boxingscene", or "LeBouf's intern".

KNOWRISK: pacquiao vs marquez lightheated observation ....

I've seen all this SERIOUS talk about who won. But What was with Marquez doing an interview with a Sombrero covering his "Johnson"? Hahahaha

[MaD RoBoT]

too much expectations of a JMM knockout pretty much dissapointed a lot of fans tonight

i had Pac here winning more convincingly over their 2nd fight

JMM controlled much of the middle rounds but not impressive during the championship rounds which to me is the deciding factor

had he chose to press more, he could've won the fight...which i think he's being wary of getting knocked down

[Spray_resistant]

What most posters have overlooked is this, the compubox scores supported the judges decisions. The ts is probably right. The perception of many may have been clouded because of the high expectations given to Pac. The fight turned out differently, and to most, it diminished their view of Pac while giving Marquez extra credit for making the fight very close.
Even Dan Rafael, who is not exactly a Pac fan, said in an interview on ESPN that he and the scribes around him, thought that the fight was a draw, although his own unofficial scorecard had Pac winning by 7/5.

As it should be over looked because it has nothing to do with scoring criteria or a decision in a fight. Its just an unofficial tool for reflective stats after a fight.
