Comments Thread For: Roach: Marquez Deserves Rematch; Manny's Leg Cramps

[mikemurni]

Them saying they will give JMM a rematch proves they know they lost that fight!!! As for the the judges fixing the fight i dont think so but im sure you know most people tend to lean towards the fighter they like the most and Manny is the GOLDEN CHILD of the sport!!!

First when you say they, you meant Bob Arum..Because Pac was convinced that he won the fight based on the interviews... Arum is also JMM's promoter, so for him to ask for another rematch is really not that su****ious at all..

Top Rank never wanted any parts of Floyd

All I'm going to say is Manny is a very tough fighter with tremendous hand speed. However if you think he's going to beat a great counter puncher w/ tremendous hand speed and 5 inch reach advantage your dreaming.

WOW, this article pulled me out of my lurker status and actually post something.
Leg cramps? This **** could'ave been a tiny BIT believable IF they actually fought at lightweight but c'mon Freddie...you guys waited til JMM was older, easier to get hit then pulled him into your catchweight BS but you guys still got owned.
One poster said that it is a sad day for Filipinos and yes, it's true to some degree. I'm Filipino and I'm sad. Sad because Pacquiao lost the only real fight he had since ODLH and most people here won't admit it.

GREAT post man, props for keeping it real bro.

Hope you enjoyed the fight anyways.

I felt like it was even going into the last round and JMM didn't do enough in the 12th to take it. This IS boxing and you have to beat the champion or house fighter convincingly to win on the cards. I thought a draw was coming.
I wouldn't call it a robbery, the Lara/Williams fight was a robbery, this could've went either way IMO. Somebody needs to tell Jim Lampley to take his head out of Pac's ass, it's not going to help his career in any way.

Marquez was not reliant on winning the last round in order to win that fight, and the judge that scored that fight 116-112 to Pac gave that round to Marquez anyway.

WTF were people watching?

Marquez was ahead and Pac needed to pull something out of the hat, Marquez subdued his charge, controlled the action, and closed out the show.

3-0.
