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

[Larry the boss]

bet clottey stepped on judahs foot a whole lot more in their fight.yet no 1 complained......

[Hougigo]

Floyd is fighting in Feb now right?

[Zenkai]

i had it 115-113 MP

a lot of the really close rounds you could give Pac for ring generalship and the fact he was busier with his hands as well

[brick wall]

when all emotions settle down, more and more people will agree that pac won the fight

also, i don't get the notion that because jmm gave pac 36 rounds of hell, and vice versa, people are giving jmm mad props but are too critical of pac. shouldn't both of them be credited instead? if only jmm gets credit that's like saying pac is on a different level and jmm has no right to be competitive against him. jmm is a very skilled fighter and the best counterpuncher in the game right now. what pac has done against a fighter of jmm's caliber is not something any other fighter can do. in fact, pac is the only opponent who gave jmm the advantage of fighting him at his best game (counterpunching) because of pac's aggresive style.

Marquez really showcased what hes stood for his entire career.. Masterful boxing and incredible heart. I expected nothing less on fight night but he delivered much more actually beating pacquiao fair and square I personally have not a shred of doubt and Marquez conrolled this man for nearly all 12 rds. Simply nothing short of amazing.. At 38 marquez continues to dazzle his opposition with beautiful technique.

[BigStereotype]

Round 1: 10-10. More looking than throwing in this round. Neither one did much. Nice little exchange at the end. Marquez controlled the pace

Round 2: 10-9 Marquez. Beautiful tactical round from a true Master Boxer. Good solid combinations, controlled the pace well.

Round 3: 10-9, Marquez. Marquez doesn't have his offense working so well YET, but Pacquiao can't land anything.

Round 4: 10-9 Marquez. Close round until the last ten seconds when Marquez found the range on a BIG right hand.

Round 5: 10-9 Marquez. Pac seriously has no idea how to attack. Marquez landed several very very hard shots in that round.

Round 6: 10-9 Pacquiao. Pac came alive this round. Marquez stood in front of him too much. Landed good shots, but Pac landed better.

Round 7: 10-9 Marquez. Marquez outlanded him at every turn in this round, highlighted by one massive right hand early on. Pac looks confused

Round 8: 10-9 Marquez. I'm repeating myself but this is tactical smothering by Marquez. He's just the superior technician.

Round 9: 10-9 Marquez. Pacquiao landed some but was soooooo open to the counter shots. Marquez landed some excellent counters w both hands

Round 10: 10-9 Pacquiao. Pac landed some serious stuff in that round, no joke. Marquez landed to. Hard round to score, but Pac won exchanges

Round 11: 10-9 Marquez. Pac started off strong, got over confident and got ripped the rest of the round. I was ready to give this one to Pac and then Marquez reminded everyone who the better fighter is. What a performance.

Round 12: 10-10. Looked like the first round. A lot of looking not many punches. Pac needed the knockout and he couldn't summon up the aggression.

118-112 for Marquez. Weird score with two even rounds but wow, this was a shameful robbery. What an awful decision.

gave pac 1 round out of sympathy.

[MrClutch85]

Floyd is now fighting in February because Arum is taking May 5 for himself so he can make Pacquiao Marquez 4 which is bs don't nobody wanna see JMM get robbed again

[PACnPBFsuck]

Arum especially doesn't want that fight.

I just hope JMM rejects any offer from TopRank to fight for a fourth time. He's been robbed at least twice now, and it'll only happen again. I hope he doesn't sell himself out.

Yo that sig is crazy!!!!!!

[wazaa.]

I just re-watched the fight to score it properly.

Round 1: Pacquiao
Round 2: Marquez
Round 3: Pacquiao
Round 4: Marquez
Round 5: Marquez
Round 6: Marquez
Round 7: Marquez
Round 8: Marquez
Round 9: Marquez
Round 10: Pacquiao
Round 11: Marquez
Round 12: Pacquiao

Final score: Juan Manuel Marquez 116-112

I didn't want to call it a robbery before because I thought it was a close fight. Watching it again but this time on an unbiased broadcast [PrimeTime], JMM won the fight hands down.

And the 12th round wasn't as decisive as the HBO broadcast were making it out to be. It could have gone either way, IMO.
