Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez 2, Who Really Won???

[bojangles1987]

Despite the motive behind this thread, just want to say this is one of my 5 favorite fights ever. It's one of the best examples of 2 great fighters fighting on completely even terms.

Surprised at the poll. I thought Marquez won 2. I haven't seen it in years though I'll admit.

I think I initially had Manny winning by 2 or 3 points, that extra point coming from the KD.

Why not make a thread asking who won the first fight? A fight in which Manny was genuinely robbed by the judges

Damn OP. You can't get your result, huh? Marquez is losing every poll you make. :'(

Completely agree. It's one of the best fights in the modern history of the sport, yet it tends to be overlooked for some reason. Possibly because of what Manny went on to do afterwards.

Think I had this one a draw, or maybe for Pac by a point. It's a toss-up though. I don't think there's any way you can insist either guy definitely won it.

i felt this fight was where manny was on roids, the way he moved jmm with every punch was insane (but he rarely connected jmm that well)

jmm was hitting him with some beautiful 1-2 combos, but manny was taking them solidly (most likely bc of the roids)

Manny won this fight,,, I thought they both kept winning 2 rds in a row before the other took over for 2 rds, scored it 6-6 but manny's early knockdown is the difference 114-113 manny

I saw a very similar pattern and had the knockdown being the difference too. But I would have no issue with it going the other way. Some of the rounds were extremely close.

I had JMM up but the KD makes it a draw.

I got JMM winning the third fight but I got pacquiao winning this one. The KD was the hairline difference, I don't mind people saying it's a draw or marquez winning it, doesn't really matter.

Pac won this fight. He lost the third fight doe
