That's so ignorant and derrived from misinformation that it doesn't even deserve a response.
LAS VEGAS, Nevada -- Manny Pacquiao could've ended up the unified world featherweight boxing champ if not for an error in scoring Saturday.
In fact, the fight judge who scored it 10-7 instead of an apt 10-6 after Pacquiao knocked down Juan Manuel Marquez three times in the opening round admitted to the mistake on Sunday.
"I just screwed up. I feel badly because I dropped the ball, plainly and simply," said Mark Clements of Nevada whose final score could've made the difference if not for the slip.
He scored it 113-all. John Stewart of New Jersey picked Pacquiao, 115-110, while Canada's Jay Gutras, whose conduct was also questioned, voted 115-110 for Marquez.
"You can make a lot of arguments that it was a very close fight, that's immaterial. The fact is I dropped the ball," Clements was quoted as admitting by the Las Vegas Review-Journal Sunday.
It used to be that a 10-6 score was not allowed, but this was in fights where the 3-knockdown rule was in effect.
"Before three knockdowns was only 10-7. I take full responsibility for it," Clemens explained. "It was not that I was unaware. I just screwed it."
Had he called it right, his card would've totaled 114-113 and Pacquiao would've automatically been declared winner.
(The two other judges both scored the first round 10-6 for Pacquiao).Comment

The ignorance was met with a blunt pointing out of the ignorance.
I see nothing wrong with that.Comment

I believe jumping to correct someone when you're wrong and don't know what you're talking about is a clear sign of having your head up your ass.
Don't be mad at me, just don't jump to correct someone when you don't know what you're talking about.Comment

Originally posted by abdiel2k3i think we can all agree JMM won the 1st
just bearly becuz of pacs early lead thanks to the 3 KDs
BUT!!!!!!
that was a complelty diff pac
since then pac has grown and improved
hes taken on better opposition
and looked fantastic
unfortuantly the same cant be said for JMM
so in the rematch
JMM would have a much much harder time winning
but i still think he would
altho only slightly
maybe somethin like a 115-113Comment

Originally posted by Gunstar1No Pac should've won that fight & if you look at all the polls most people think Pac won, even the Boxingscene poll had Pac winning by a big margin.
The HBO poll a week or so later (I think it was the Jones Tarver renmatch) also had Pacquiao winning the fight by a wide vote.Comment
