Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Marquez: Three Fights Later, Still No Closure

[vacon04]

An interview with Pacquiao just ended, he basically said that he won the fight, that for him the correct score would be 115-113, and also that he wanted the KO but Marquez never gave him an opportunity to land a clean hard shot. Also he said that he had cramps in his left leg since round 4 and that he wasn't able to move as he wanted to.

I thought that Pac would KO Marquez in less than 10 rounds but to my surprise I saw Marquez beat Pacquiao.

Marquez won this fight and they robbed him of the victory just because Pac is multi-million dollar business and because everyone wants the Mayweather fight to be made, but Marquez beat him cleanly this time.

floyd doesn't fight like marquez though

no, hes better. u pac fans claim marquez fights manny with combos. he did none of that tonite. he fought manny straight up using the right hand. the best right hand in the game belongs to floyd, whos taller, faster, stronger and more skilled than marquez. i thought it was a 60/40 fight. now i kno for sure pac proly cant win.

Pac has slowed down and lost some of that speed. This was shown in Mosley and verified here.

these guys can fight 100 times, pac will get the decision each time. what a joke of a decision tonight. all three fights were entertaining as heck but they were truly messed up by the decisions. jmm would be ****** to take another fight, he's just going to rack up another l to his resume, he doesn't need that. he beat pac twice imo, no need to prove again and again.

By Jake Donovan - They promised that this one would prove to be the one to close out the series once and for all, that for the first time in their three meetings we would finally experience a definitive outcome.

After 36 rounds together, the only thing that Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez have proven is that they know how to stir up debate.

For the first time since his last showdown with Marquez, pound-for-pound king Pacquiao was made to look human in taking a highly disputed majority decision in their 12 round main event Saturday evening at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Pacquiao weighed in at 143 lb, one pound under the contracted catchweight of 144 lb despite his alphabet welterweight belt at stake. Marquez was slightly lighter at 142, but slightly heavier in actual ring weight once the fight began.

Over the course of the entire 12 rounds, the third leg of their much-talked about trilogy didn’t live up to its predecessors, though don’t tell that to anyone among the sold out crowd of 16,836 on hand. Whenever either fighter threw a punch, the crowd erupted into a frenzy. [Click Here To Read More]

nice article, too bad a lot of people will be too stubborn and dont see it that way, its a close fight, this is what most pac fans expected big difference pac fans were waiting and expecting the KO...

Pac landed more total punches and more power punches, IMHO he won this fight in a close contest...

and robbery my a_s, its f_cking close fight!!

Another excellent article by Jake Donovan. He puts it all clearly in perspective. Marquez did well, but not enough to win and it certainly wasn't a robbery.

Pacquiao was the aggressor. He threw more, landed more, and carried the fight. Just because Marquez won a few rounds doesn't mean he won the fight.

Aside, this fight convinced me that Mayweather wins.

PAC fought at his best and didn't win clearly over a 38year old lightweight who got thoroughly outboxed by FMJ, hurt badly by Juan Diaz and Michael Katsidis. JMM landed the cleaner harder shots. Pac is the Most over rated fighter I've ever heard of. He is very good nowhere near atg.
