Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Decisions Marquez, Highly Controversial

[MaD RoBoT]

I still call it a robbery. footwork doesn't win you the fight.

any Pac-JMM fight is anything BUT a robbery

JMM missed a lot during late rounds, had Pac chose to **** that last rounds he woulve tagged a lot & most likely cost him the fight

i've said this months before the fight that regardless of ANY weight, JMM would still give problems to Pacquiao

[Doc Holliday]

Before this fight I claimed Pacquiao was going to blow JMM out in 1 round.......I am humbled...Marquez won that ****!

quoted for honesty

Marquez lost simply because he and his corner “believed” they had the fight wrapped up by the 10th. And in doing so, they left the fate of the fight in the hands of the judges. The realization that the fight isn’t over and that you still haven’t ‘done enough’, is what propels the fighting spirit and it is the essence of what Champions are made of. It is the basis for success not just in the ring but in life.

When you watch the corner between rounds, you can see the glaring contrast between the trainers. Nacho continues to encourage JMM stating that he’s winning or has won. Freddy continues to push Pacquiao for a knockout.

And at the end, JMM raises his hands in victory and Pacquiao, as he traditionally does, goes to the corner to pray.

Marquez is without question an amazing fighter. But to sing the songs of victory before the fight is even over will only cement defeat. And to assume that the hard fought fight has been won before the unforgiving hammer of the judges scorecards fall, can only create bitterness and resentment.

If JMM had fought the 9th through the 12th as if we was still behind or losing, I’m certain that the taste of victory would have finally graced his lips.

But he made a fatal flaw in an increasingly close fight. Confidence is a measure of one’s ability. But over confidence is the ingredient for one's own demise.

Pacquiao and Marquez can fight 20 more times. And Pacquiao will always edge out Marquez everytime. Not because Pacquiao is significantly beter than JMM. But because Pacquiao fights as if he’s always behind – even if he’s miles ahead.

ps - Watched the fight twice. First viewing had Pac +1. Second viewing had Marquez +1. What a fight!

Marquez went on his bicycle like a clown. Nacho must've studied DLH-Trinidad to win a decision.

lol at these cry babies. Go and watch the fight again. Pac landed more harder punches in a round he won in two judges. Besides Marquez just waited for Pacquaio to punch and Pac was the aggressive,

[Pacquiao'd]

the stream i watch had Amir Kahn on it and even he said he felt manny lost. said that he wanted to fight Marquez after the fight ended but before the winner was announced.

mannyclearly lost. floyd will eat this guy alive

Good post. If you have JMM 8-4 you are giving him the benefit of the doubt in every single razor close round.

I had it +1 to JMM or a draw. Not a robbery, whichever way it went.

Wrong, wrong, wrong! Pacman in Pac/Marquez II put his hands up in the air after the fight. Pac didn't act like he won the fight and was defensive after that, most likely because he left doubt once again to boxing fans that Marquez could've won this fight. The judges based the win off Pac's activity but the CompuBox showed Marquez was more accurate and I thought Marquez landed much much cleaner shots then Pac did.

Marquez went on his bicycle like a clown. Nacho must've studied DLH-Trinidad to win a decision.

Marquez never went on his bicycle at all...

[LeadUppercut]

agreed .. not even a close fight i had pacquiao winning 2 rounds compared to marquez's 10.. most anybody realisticaly could of gave him was 3-4 rounds.. was disgusting hearing arum talk about a marquez-pacquiao 4 right there you know he wants pacquiao to have no part of mayweather its all about riding his cash cow.

I don't know how compubox got those stats. I sure didn't see the fight they saw. This was a robbery against Marquez.

The compu box statistics are inflated for pacquiao. Marquez could have knocked down Pac 5 times they still would have given it to Pacquiao. Just goes to show what a joke this sport has become. No way are those compu box stats correct

Compubox aint accurate.

It records everything that hits the shoulders/elbows/gloves, and it records things that dont even hit that.

Marquez post fight comments.

“I’m frustrated right now,’’ Marquez admitted. “Very frustrated. Honestly, I don’t know what I have to do to change the mind of the judges. I think I won this fight more clearly than the other two (which ended in a draw and a split decision victory for Pacquiao that Marquez and many others hotly disputed).

“I don’t know what happened. What do I need to do? The best judge, for me, is the audience and they responded sensationally for me.’’

“It is the result of this fight that makes me think of retirement,’’ Marquez (52-6-1, 39 knockdowns) said. “I want the judge to score the fight the way it is happening. Everybody knows what happened. I think I won this fight more clearly. I really believe I need to drop him and they’d put him back up and give him the fight.”

I have the same card
