Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Decisions Marquez, Highly Controversial

[Left2theliver]

I'll be honest with you guys. Regardless of the winner, I don't think ANYONE will ever be satisfied. Based on their three fights, if you made them fight a million times, regardless of weightclass, this is the kind of fight that would come about. A tough, competitive, back and forth fight, and whoever wins will result in the other claiming they were the real winner. I had Pac taking a close competitive fight, but if JMM won then I couldn't complain. But is JMM won, then we'd have a bunch of people talking about how Pac was robbed. Truth is, I'm just glad it turned out to be an awesome fight. As for Pac vs. Mayweather, I think Mayweather takes it, but styles make fights. Because JMM can get in Pac's face nad bust him up don't mean Mayweather would be doin it.

Money,Money and Money... can´t y´all see?

HBO couldn t let pacquiao lose, cause of the amount of money they will generate, if the bout mayweather-pacquiao happen.

The way the fight ended (perhaps intentionally?!?) will convince mayweather to do the fight!!!

although i m a huge pacquiao-fan, i think the result wasn´t fair at all.

boxing was, is and will be corrupt.

Once again..... for all the dumb asses which know **** about boxing.....

This is how rounds are supposed to be scored

1) Effective Aggressiveness: Was pacquiao an effective aggressor? Hell NO!

2) Ring Generalship: Do I even have to make the case here. Marquez controlled the rythm, tempo, and the exchanges

3) Defense: Again do I even have to fight this for Marquez...... no contest Marquez

4) Clean and Hard Punching: All the clean and hard punches were Marquez, the only guy getting jolted out there was pacquiao.

Here's mine, and I'll respect it the other way:

ROUND ONE

Tense feeling out...Pacquiao with a couple stiff lefts...Marquez slips a shot, lands two to the body...right and left from Pac; Marquez to the body.

Pacquiao 10-9

ROUND TWO

Still playing chess...Marquez with a pretty good right...Pac responded with a quick burst of offense.

Even 19-19

ROUND THREE

Jab battle...neither guy really getting their range...Marquez had some success late with the right hand...another scoring nightmare so far.

Marquez 29-28

ROUND FOUR

Pac more aggressive...sneaky with the left...Marquez countering to the body but starting to eat the left more...Marquez with a big right late.

Even 38-38

ROUND FIVE

Marquez lands a nice uppercut...landing another right...counter Pacquiao left and Marquez lands a right...Marquez beating Pacquiao to the punch.

Marquez 48-47

ROUND SIX

Pacquiao's best round of the fight...Marquez still held his own but Pac used a short step back to bring Marquez in and connected with lefts...these two just are made for each other and Marquez doesn't look old at all.

Even 57-57

ROUND SEVEN

Big Marquez right blocked but Pac takes a big step back...Marquez lead left hook slams home...Manny rallied some in the final minute but Marquez closed with a nice lead uppercut.

Marquez 67-66

ROUND EIGHT

Pacquiao 105-104

ROUND TWELVE

Pacquiao leading and landing more halfway...Marquez answers in spots...feinting contest...Pacquiao loses the bit...45 seconds left...blocks a Marquez flurry...two Pacquiao lefts in the last ten seconds...Marquez didn't leave it out there to finish.

Pacquiao 115-113

Crold1, I scored it like you did. Manny was doing a catch up. He did by winning round 9-12. I scored it 7-5 for Pacquiao. He also got the better puch stats based on compubox.


It was so close that it could have been a draw. Close fights can't fall in the robbery category.

[JJRod]

the difference in that fight is because marquez kissed the canvass 4 times and this time ped starts kicking in for JMM

wow so now you're going the PED route. Good to know you're such a die hard Pacquiao fan you're ready with any excuse.
Listen Pacquiaos reaction after the fight says it all. His reaction and facial expressions during the interview say it all. The very short, press conference says it all.
A fighter knows when he was beaten and today your god was beaten.
Unfortunately boxing at its core is still a dirty business. And no way was Arum going to allow Marquez to get in the way of Pacquiao staying unbeaten since 2005 and making all that $

and u honestly think jmm fights differently from floyd? what did jmm do tonite that floyd doesnt/cant do better? the answer absolutely nothing. the fight would be even more one sided.

[zzat]

There are a few things that this fight made clear...

JMM is a smarter boxer and PAC.
Hernandez's juice > Ariza's juice
The judges and promoters should be investigated

Mayweather vs Pacquiao won't happen.

[VaginaPuncher]

IMO Marquez took the fight because he out-boxed Pacquiao and landed the more solid punches round by round. for those of you saying that marquez was running don't know the practice of evasion. When you duck from a punch, it doesn't mean you are running away.

Marquez was fighting a smart fight, Used his boxing skills to their full potential and won the fight. He was in command of the majority of the rounds. They were fighting Marquez's fight,

[vacon04]

Compubox numbers don't say who won the fight! Those numbers are just statistics, THIS ISN'T OLYMPIC BOXING!

[Stl_Buay]

I think I need to repost because I see some idiots need to see it...

Pacquiao won fair and square some might be lead to believe Marquez won because the rounds he won he dominated. But, the close rounds go to the aggressive harder puncher. That's boxing... People thought that Pac would run through Marquez so anything short of that looks like he was losing, I actually thought that Pac did better this fight and so did the judges. Look at his face after the first two fights and look at his face tonight, minus the headbutt cut... Yet look at Marquez's face after the fight and then look at the punch stats and then ask who was more aggressive and who did the most damage??? I had it 116 - 112 Pac, and like Emanuel Stewart said go take the title!!! Don't fight a defensive counter-punch fight and then cry when the agressive fighter who threw more punches and landed more punches and Fed your face up gets the W... Pac won and it wasn't pretty but when the fight was a draw after 8 rounds (4-4) Marquez got hit and a little winded and lost any intrest in trying to win the fight outright and taking it out of the judges hands... Message to Marquez and all his cry baby fans... IF YOU FELT YOU WERE ROBBED IN THE FIRST TWO FIGHTS..... GO FOR THE KNOCKOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But, I don't blame him for not doing so because I saw him take some good shots but don't complain after the fight. Just say I wanted to win but I wasn't going to lay it all on the line and go for the KO because I knew that if I did that I would have to take risk and I wasn't willing to take risk like that against Pac and looking at his face after the fight nobody would blame him for saying that.... Pac looked vulnerable in this fight lets hope that Floyd would be willing to fight now but I doubt it....
