Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Decisions Marquez, Highly Controversial

[TOBYLEE1]

Great counter punching clinic by Marquez. Excellent performance and we have a bad result.

Marquez won this fight

[Kobayashi]

Some goods shots by Marquez, but Pac trew and connected more.

Punches thrown: Pac 578-436 Marquez
Punches landed: Pac 176-138 Marquez
Jabs: Pac 59-38 Marquez
Power punches: Pac 117-100 Marquez

A few passed, but most Marquez's counterpunchs were blocked by Pac, and Pac trew and landed more.

Marquez's counterpunch look more spectacular, even if blocked by Pac. While Pac shots didn't. At the end of the day, what really count is who landed and connected more and is Pac, the clear winner. Marquez's face is swollen and Pac is not, only a cut from a headbutt.

rounds 1-4 could've gone either way
5-7 was won by marquez
8 could've gone either way
9-11 was won by manny
12 could've gone either way.

Acceptable scenarios for me:
Pacquiao winning by 1 or 2 pts
marquez winning by 1 or 2 pts
draw

The 116-112 scorecard is a farce.
The 114-114 and 115-113 scorecards are reasonable...

This is just disgusting, not only did the legendary Marquez get robbed once again but we now know how much power Arum has with media propaganda and even judges.

If anything, what was already known by real boxing fans and experts, should now be clear as night and day, to the blind and oblivious. Pacquiao will be out boxed, out classed in the ring with Mayweather Jr. The only chance Manny has at winning is in the court room.

This! All the *****s need to do is watch the fight in slow motion. Pac landed more, threw more and the aggressor.

lol people are so used to watching Pac dominate when he wins any type of close fights its called a robbery? lol. Its ok JMM chose not to take the belt away the final 2 rounds. If you wanna beat the champ you got to step it up and take it in those final 2 and not coast thinking your winning. Dumbest move he could have made was listening to his trainer tell you your winning in a very very close fight.. And it means nothing when Pac has that disappointed reaction right after the final bell. He has that reaction because he didn't like his performance against a guy who will not throw anything unless you throw. He felt he didn't give the fans a Crowd pleasing fight which disappoints him, not because he lost like some of the simple minded guys here think.
Close fight and the right guy won that fight. Wayyyy too many close rounds and the rounds that were close Pac landed more, but some were still given to JMM. I had Pac winning cause the final 2 rounds. These championshiip rounds in this fight meant a lot. Pac wanted it, you don't win a fight by just backing up the entire time and not wanting to take the belt from the champion unless you are 100% certain you are up by 5 rounds or so. Then if you still lose after that, then you can call it a robbery. This fight was in no way in hell a robbery. Its one of those 50/50 fights that can go either way.....
Hopefully this performance will give Floyd the courage to fight Pac now and get off this PED BS. Cause Pac is a super small dude and nothing in this fight shows me hes on PED whatsover. Grow a pair Floyd and fight him now while your both still in somewhat decent form.

i had the same score cliff. close fight that could have gone either way.

[SWEETSCIENCE100]

Pacquiaos face told the whole story. He had a defeated face. His eyes showed embaressment. Marquez won all three bouts with clean and accurate punching.He controlled the fight and dictated the pace. Anyone who scored that fight for Pacquaio is blind or just plain doesnt know boxing.

I do agree with you that Marquez maybe had to take more chances this fight, but it is not that Manny was like dominating him in the last 2 rounds, let alone in the previous rounds.
That reaction of Manny after the bell was in my opinion him admitting defeat. When the final bell rings in such an important fight for both fighters, you're not gonna think about pleasing the fans or your own opinion about your perfomance, but about if you won the fight or not and letting your emotions go after 12 rounds of boxing. Even Roach wasn't sure and telling Manny to go for the KO. You really think he would say this with Pacman winning the fight and the knowledge of Marquez' superior counter-punching ability and therefore risking to lose the fight. No man, he just thought they were losing the fight. All of this is off course my opinion and it was without any doubt a close fight, but in my book with Marquez winning the fight.

got to give all respect for marquez. he won this fight. guess what judges bet their house for pacquiao
