Juan M. Marquez announces retirement

[vacon04]

lol at this thread, a bunch of real boxing fans sad of seeing a legend go way.

And then after 4 pages, a bunch of ******ed Pac showing no respect for Marquez.

They still can't get over that Marquez gave their idol a boxing lesson.

Hmm I don't know guys. I think he will be remember more like this.
In the pantheon of disgraceful decisions in the history of boxing this one will
go down as one of the most notorious. Juan Manuel Marquez, at the age of 38,
has just seen his best performance in the ring to comprehensively out box, out
think, out work, and out hustle Manny Pacquiao over 12 rounds stolen from him
by three judges who have brought shame to the sport. It was an historic
performance. It should have resulted in a unanimous decision in favour of Juan
Manuel Marquez. Instead he lost and so did the sport of boxing.,,,,

After 12 rounds of what appeared to many at ringside and nearly all of the crowd
of 16,368 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena to be a solid win for Marquez, two ringside
judges saw a fight only a businessman or a blind man could have seen.
Somehow Judge Glenn Trowbridge scored the bout 116-112 for Pacquiao and Dave Moretti
had it 115-113 for the WBO welterweight titleholder. The third, Robert Hoyle, had it
a draw 114-114. Meanwhile, a number of ringside observers saw Marquez winning 116-112
and as much as 117-112. When Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach, was asked in the
ring if he agreed his fighter had beaten Marquez again he waited for a moment before
answering.
“The fight was close,’’ Roach said. “It was very close.’’
Not really. Not unless you brought a pencil to ringside with you.
Later he would say he felt his man pulled it out in the last two rounds while also
conceding “it could have gone either way.’’ As endorsements go, it wasn’t exactly a
ringing one. What was more telling was an hour later when he said, “It’s the kind
of fight I don’t want to do again but we have to. S__t. He’s given us problems three
times.....

Pacquaio “Wins,” Marquez is “robbed” and boxing “loses”.....
http://www.maxboxing.com/news/max-bo...-boxing-loses-

The opinions of many within the ringside media and those at the post-fight
press conference were somewhat mixed, but the overwhelming majority felt that
the legend from Mexico City had been robbed. The general consensus is that
Marquez’ counter punching controlled the pace of the contest and that he
landed the harder shots. By: Mike Sloan, ringside in Las Vegas.

By Round 9, the unfathomable seemed more than possible, and people began to
say it out loud: Pacquiao might lose. Pacquiao is losing ~ NYtimes.com

[Pin Galarga]

Nothing but Marquez putting some presure to Snob Arum to make the fight soon. Marquez would also make a "come back" if He's offered the fight.
Its His retirement money.

[junior gong]

Great fighter, great career. Sad to see him go as I think he still has more left to offer at world level, but he has had many fights and a long career. If he feels its time and he has looked after his dough, then who is anyone to argue.

I wish him as much success in whatever he does next as he did in boxing.

[-Huey-]

Daing, well JMM will be missed!

[IronDanHamza]

I know it wouldn't mean half so much as it once might have, but I really want to see Marquez-Morales. They are the only two who didn't fight of the foursome of Pac, Morales, Barrera, and Marquez.

Doesn't mean much now does it.

I'd rather see him retire than fight a shot to pieces Morales.

[Pugilistic™]

Damn.

All good things come to an end i suppose.

Dinamita will be really missed once he's gone.

[Iceta Lives]

I hope he goes out with a **** before he retires and fights somebody good. He doesn't have much to prove though even though he will always be remembered for giving Pac all he can handle and coming up short. I think his legacy and resume would've been better if he hadn't revolved it around Pacquiao, but he's still a great figther without a doubt.
