Just finished rewatching it, in very good quality. I actually changed my scoring to 115 to 113 for Pacquiao. Dont have an issue with a Marquez win, since there were plenty of close rounds with not much to choose from.
I think people mostly think that Marquez won because he landed a few more memorable shots that stick out in their minds, and had a few rounds that were very obvious...for example, the 5th round for Marquez was more one sided than any round Pacquiao won.
but on a round by round basis, Pacquiao landed a fair share of rounds. Pay attention to what actually lands, there are numerous quick darting left hands that Pacquiao lands cleanly, and even his right jabs sneak in a few times(although they dont do that much damage most the time, so I dont score many points for them).
notice also that a few of Marquez's counter punches and combos dont always land. for example, in the 6th round he throws a coutner right hand that appears to land cleanly, but in super slow motion it shows it only grazes and Pacquiao lands a clean right hook not long after.
