Rds 10 and 11 were JMM rounds... If scored correctly...

[El Chicano]

Rds 10 & 11 were JMM rounds... If scored correctly, these rounds would have swayed the decision in favor of Marquez.

At 1:50 of the 10th round, Marquez hit Manny with a straight right hand that hurt him for a second... the punch made Manny's back foot straighten up. In a close round, that jolting shot should have decided the round.

I had Marquez controlling the 11th round. Manny still looked a little gun shy from that shot he received in the previous round. If you ask yourself, who would you rather be at the end of the round, the answer would probably be Marquez.

With that said, if rounds 10 & 11 were scored correctly, the White & Blue scorecards would have swayed the decision in favor of Juan Manuel Marquez.

One thing you'll notice with the scorecards is that they are pretty consistent for the first 7 rounds of the fight. During the last 5 rounds their scores become inconsistent with each other. It appears that the judges were trying to justify giving Manny rounds; trying to find a way to make Manny Pacquiao the winner.

I gave Marquez Rounds 10 and 11.

there are a lot of rounds that I thought were close so I have no problem scoring the fight for a close manny win, a draw, or a close marquez win, but my only nitpick of your post is when you said "who would you rather be at the end of the round" that's not how you score rounds. I hear Lederman say that ALL the time on HBO and that's just simply not how you judge a round, it's a weird thing he says which probably explains why his scorecards are off so frequently.

who would i rather be at the end of the round?



after taking a look at jmm's face, definitely pac.


pac evidentently pounded jmm's face in once again and jmm hardly scratched pac...so i would rather be pac.

Those scorecards are CROCKS OF GARBAGE particularly Glenn Trowbridge.

Trowbridge (who scored it 116-112 Pacquiao) gave the 12th to Marquez a CLEAR Pacquiao round. Why? Because he realized he scorecard was so ridiculous he HAD to give a round to Marquez so it wouldn't look so bad.

What a disgrace.

Trowbridge should never judge a fight again.

I didnt think 10 and 11 were Marquez rounds. He landed some good shots, but if you pay attention most the time Pacquiao also hits him simultaneously, and overall was doing more damage in each round. Definitely close though.


Trowbridge was a god awful judge. I agree on that point wholeheartedly.

*******s will not like this.

"Marquez was a coward and ran. You have to attack to beat the champion."

Eagerly anticipating more excuses for why a blown up lightweight beat the "p4p king" who claimed his thrown at 147

Really? Watch it again in slow motion and tell us how many punches actually Marquez did land on Pacquiao clearly. Did you know Marquez only landed 2 or 3 clean effective punches in round 2? the rest was dodged by Pacquiao, missed the target, blocked by forearms and elbows. Pac actually landed more but it so fast the you can only see it in slow motion.
