I don't remember how I scored the first fight but I gave the second to Marquez and the third was a draw IMO. I know that's not the popular opinion but I didn't think it was that much of a blowout for JMM. Will have to watch again.

Who did you have winning each Pacquiao-Marquez fight?
Collapse
-
1. Pacquiao
2. Toss-Up
3. Clearly Marquez
4. Even more clearly Marquez
Anyone who says JMM got robbed in the first two is full of shit. They were extremely close fights. The second in particular is almost impossible to call either way.
The third was fairly clear in JMM's favour, as there is no way you can make an argument for Manny in rounds 2-8. He took his foot off the gas going down the stretch, which is a cardinal sin in boxing, but he still won.

Juan stopping Manny was his only win to me. I gave Manny close wins because he made the fights each time and he wasn't being rocked as often as he rocked Juan. Close matches and equally talented but an edge to Manny.

4th Fight, one of them was going to get knocked out. It just happened to be Pac first.
These 2 guys are dead even. They are split down the middle everytime. One of the greatest rivalries in boxing. I'm glad I got to witness them all.
It's a shame the scoring controversy overshadows how great the first two were. They are brilliant fights.
I thought the third was a masterclass in control from Marquez. One of his finest performances in many ways. Just a shame he turned so cautious in the championship rounds. I don't think it mattered too much to the judges, who were seeing the fight for Manny anyway. But in and of itself it was idiotic. Coasting was not an option in a fight like that.

There's no ****ing way Jmm won the second fight. Especially since he was knocked down. If it's 6-6 in rds, with the kd, Manny wins. If it's 7-5 Jmm in rds, its a draw cuz of the kd. So in order for Jmm to win he needs to have been credited for 8 rds right??? Now whose gonna argue that Jmm won 8 rds in the second fight??? If I'm wrong about the scoring system feel free to correct me.

And if it's 7-5 (which I could see), then Marquez wins 114-113. Not a draw.
