Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: Marquez Hurt Me, But It's Very Clear I Won

[PennyAnd1]

this kinda sucks to be honest...I was thinking pac would dominate jmm and then fight floyd in the next 4 or 5 months...after watching jmm doing this to pac one can imagine what floyd would do to him...now I don't really want to watch floyd vs pacquiao...easy fight for floyd.

Didn't you ****s already learned from this fight? Styles make fights. Floyd>JMM, JMM=Pac, Pac>Floyd.

That means, JMM has a hard time with Floyd's style (much more when he was fatter against Floyd & Floyd cheating the scale), but Floyd has problems with Pac's style (due to resemblence of Zab Judah). I bet you Pac beats Floyd. No easy task but still beatable.

Manny landed more shots and he was the aggresor in the final 4 rounds....the 116-112 score by one judge is a farce but the 115-113 seems reasonable....

IMO, Pacquiao should have gone for bust - he should've tried more often to engage Marquez to try to make it a brawl instead of a boxing match, which played right into Marquez's gameplan. But with that said, a challenger needs to take the belt from the champion; a challenger needs to prove to the judges (and not the mob) that he convincingly dominated the champion/fight to win. Like it has been said before, the challenger needed to rip the belt from the champion - and IMO, Marquez didn't do enough work to have done such that; to rip the belt from Pacquiao. IMO, Marquez said that he knew that he would not win a close fight, that he would have to go for a KO to win. What I saw was Marquez winning some exchanges with Pacquiao - but not all. IMO Pacquiao was the aggressor/initiator and Marquez was complacent on just being the counterpuncher. Because he was the aggressor, because he was the one that was making his opponent back up for predominantly most of the fight I thought Pacquiao got the nod. Marquez wasn't dominateing the fight, he wasn't aggressive enough to show his dominance over the champion...of which a challenger has to show over the champion IMO. Pacquiao didn't do what he said that he would do, as well as Marquez; but Pacquiao showed more aggression, and fought just enough to keep his belt. I had Pacquiao winning 7 rounds to Marquez's 5. Very close fight but unfortunately, Pacquiao won by a very thin margin.

ur a reall *******, pacman doesnt no what do do with a counter puncher, nd mayweather is the master of that,i bet u were 1 of thos *******s thinking manny would walk through marquez, manny lost, even his bf amir khan said it b4 the announcment, floyd is harder to hit than marquez, nd has better speed to counter manny all night nd even stronger, i think now he might even stop him in 10

Arum should be wise not to put Manny in the ring with May until he figures what to do with a counterpuncher style, hence the 4th match. Pac would land some leather on May like Zab did early, but that straight right hand mixed with May movement would frustrate and utimately defeat him over 12 rounds. From an unbiased opinion ( Paul william fan, I KNOW IKNOW, he lost two fight in a row but he still my boy, lol), Marquez didnt step it up in the last 2 rounds so I had it 7-5 Pac. Good fight, coulda went either way.

I was a big Pacquiao fan but not anymore. Not because he lost the fight but because he said he won it clear. It was a clear win for Marquez and it was a HUGE robbery! Never saw something like that in germany! Disgusting! And istill cant believe how good Marquez was, that was NEVER the same Marquez that fought Mayweather!!! Just awesome how he fought tonight. He made Pac look like an overrated bum but we know thats not true!! Pac is awesome but Marquez won clearly, i had Pac only winning 3 rounds! For me one of the biggest upsets in boxing history!! I really couldnt believe what i saw!!

OK....HONESTLY......i have had a chance to sleep on this and cool off.....i give the utmost respect to any PAC fans that post and admit they saw PAC get schooled last night. It is what it is.......i respect honesty........The HBO crew, particularly Emanuel Steward came off extremely biased as if they were instructed to. I can't even watch the fight again with the volume on cause it's so disgusting. I am a PAC fan who thought he'd have trouble with Mayweather and possibly pull out a close decision.......I have now think Arum will avoid putting PAC in the ring with Mayweather.....What i watched last night was my favorite FIGHTER......cause he clearly can't box i see now.....lose decisively and drop way down my pound for pound ranks.....it is what it is

[flint]

marquez clearly won this fight. after what i saw last night. this one dimensional filipino midget better no get in the ring with headmathy buttley neither.

[delpilar]

Pacquiao did win the fight.....but he broke so many hearts & wallets of those who were convinced of a ktfo win.

[wyse]

Ledermans, Lampleys etc are people of HBO, they are paying to say such bull****, cuz if manny had lost there would never happen pac-Floyd. HBO is waiting for this fight (for big money), pacman just couldnt OFFICIALLY lose.

They only showed manny highlights during the rounds even tho marquez landed the bigger shots in the fight
