You've got to be kidding me, I'm watching it right now and nothing happened. First minute nothing happened, second minute both are landing glancing blows, Pacquiao lands 2 decent straight left hands, Marquez lands a decent right hand, Pacquiao's mouth piece falls out and nothing happens after that. Your truly over exaggerating here, that's not a round in which you could say either guy clearly won it, both looked spent, Pacquiao was cautious.

Like I said, anyway you score is fine.

im the one that should be saying this, seriously hilarious

did the punches i mentioned not happen or somethin?
you saw the right hand from marquez that i saw, but didn't see the punches from pacquiao that i saw? take your biased glasses off man, seriously

[Toyman]

very good unbiased post.

i have the exact same scorecard, except th 9-9 was 10-9 for pac since he was the aggressor.


116-112 for pac, 115-113 if you have to give a round to jmm, but there is no way jmm won this fight lol!

pac wins trilogy 3-0.

Other than the 2 straight left hands from Manny and Marquez's straight right, everything else was glancing. Just not a round either guy clearly won.

6 and 10 were clear Marquez rounds. Don't see how they could be scored any other way.

9-9 ? ???

10 point MUST system ... clues in the name

I am really not keen on a 4th fight. If you look at the 3 fights:

1st fight: a draw but a judge made a mistake on the scoring of the 1st round. If it was corrected, it favored Pacquiao.
2nd fight: split decision for Pac due to the knockdown.
3rd fight: Majority decision for Pac.

So if there is a 4th fight, it will be leaning towards a UD for Pac.

I am not interested in a 4th fight but JM Marquez deserves a rematch.

rounds 1,2,6,10 were some of the many rounds that were pretty difficult to score in my opinion. Im assuming that you saw the fight on television? Just imagine being a judge and seeing the fight in a totally different physical and visual angle and perspective Its easy to say yes definitely so and sos round but i found those rounds very hard to score.

You can't blindly score on activity...

Me personally, I score on activity when the opponent is inactive and ineffective.

In a round where neither guy does much, I go with the aggressor(kind of how I felt about the 1st and 12th rounds in this fight...neither guy did much but Pac was more aggressive)

But in a round where one guy may throw and land more but the other guy is also throwing and CLEARLY landing the cleaner, sharper punches, you CANNOT score for activity.

I find it unbelievable. I can think, off the top of my head of about 5 significant punches that Pacquiao landed. He landed a good left in the 11th. He landed a really good check right hook in the mid-late rounds and he landed a maybe a couple more clean solid left hands.

Marquez, every round from the 3rd on, was landing clean, head snapping punches. Pac was throwing more, and landing more insignificant shots, but Marquez landed SHOTS THAT MATTER.

This whole "Pac was the aggressor" or "you gotta take the title away from the champ" is bull****. There is no way anyone can honestly say that Pacquiao landed more clean punches. You can throw as much as you want but when you're opponent is hitting you with better shots than he's getting hit with, you CANNOT SCORE ON ACTIVITY.

Rant over.

yep, marquez's head snapping back from that counter lead left was a glancing blow
