Comments Thread For: Juan Manuel Marquez: These Decisions Hurt Boxing!

Step #2 - Score each round by a guy hitting and not get hit by the opponent.
Step #3 - Add the total.

My total is for JMM.

Note: this is not about dancing, or hitting the air, or slapping with open hand or with the head. (by these Bradley is the clear winner, by boxing system JMM got most of the valid points).

Overall I agree.

JMM could have easily been determined the winner based on scoring punches. People love all the posturing and boxing "acting" stuff though.

So Juan must not even think the fight was close. He thinks he outright smashed Bradley.

Maybe he needs to actually watch the fight. Look at Provodnikov. He believed he deserved the win over Bradley until he watched the fight and admitted that he lost. It's different when you are in the ring.

C'mon, Juan.

The Pac fights? All those fights were 50/50. When you cry robbery over a 50/50 fight, soon enough you're crying when people see it 90/10 against you

But alot of people felt he won. The 2nd could go either way but the 3rd fight was a clear victory for marquez. It wasnt all that close 116-112

marquez wasnt on his drugs thats why he lost. I have no respect for this guy. sore loser and I know hes a cheat. 40 year old career featherweight fighting at welterweight and with a drug cheating trainer do the ***ing maths.

You do the math. With out drugs he fought a 12 round fight with a prime fighter that was very close.

You dont think JMM could knock out Pac with out drugs lol Please

It's a plausible score, but you'll find a lot of disagreement. For example, both scene editors scored it for Pac, and the average press score was 114-114:

When you have a robbery, there's barely any disagreement at all. For example, Pac Bradley, or if they'd given this "split decision" to JMM instead of Tim.

What hurts boxing is 40 year old PED abusers claiming robbery every time they get schooled

I was happy for Marquez's accomplishment but it now made me believe he's a sore loser! Bradley won the fight. Give him credit. I had it 116-112 Bradley. Marquez should retire and spend time with his family. He's a hall of famer for sure. At 40, his body will take a toll every prep and fight.

I had Marquez winning so I can understand why he is frustrated.
