how was JMM VS PACQUAIO A BAD DECISION?

yeah so point wise they were a draw, that's what it comes down to when you go the distance right? but then here comes a judge who'll admit in making a mistake. so...

i had the fight being a draw also...pacquiao dominated him the first 3 rounds badly with knockouts winning 1 round 7,10 and 1 round 8,10..but after the 3rd round pacquaio got outboxed..maybe winning 1 more round..and the only reason the fight was a draw is because of the knockouts in the first 2 rounds..marquez outboxed pacquiao after he got a feel for what he does

I agree, when the first time I saw the fight I was like that was total bull**** but after seeing it again I had it a draw also. JMM just got in the zone in the 3rd and so on.

It's a shame that we'll probably never get to see that business resolved. I always maintain that but for the mistake from that one judge who scored the first round incorrectly, Pacquiao should have won. I know most people think it is difficult to give a decision to a guy who lost nine of the last twelve rounds, but rules are rules and that first round was a 10-6 for Pacquiao, except Burt Clements scored it only 10-7. It was bull**** the way that Nevada basically covered their ears at this because they knew that there was money coming from a rematch. Marc Ratner sounding like he didn't know his own commission's rules was a joke.

i had pacman winning that by a point or two. in my book, he won 3 more rounds after the first. if not for that septuagenarian judge, pacman could have brought the bacon home!

I think it was a legit draw.........although many would argue that because of all the KDs by Pac at the begining but based on the points system this fight was a draw.

He should have, but at the time I was kind of satisfied to know that both guys would live to fight another day, and for several reasons, their fight will live on for a long time.

Pacquiao is at the stage now where he never has to fight Marquez whatsoever.

Marquez is the biggest waste of talent in boxing.

I kind of agree, but it would have been harsh on JMM - it was an amazing performance by him to not only get up three times, but to come back and dominate was incredible. I had him winning but only because I didnt score the first round correctly.

i'm not have a problem with the draw. with all the fuzzes around it, i think pacman emerged a much better after that. he definitely learned from the lessons of that fight and has become a better fighter. jmm defintely taught him a good boxing lesson that night. IMO pacman benefitted from that and the draw decision itself.

correct me if im wrong. Because I really dont know. But is it true that scoring a round any lower than 10-7 is up to the judges discretion?
