Manny Pacquaio vs Juan Manuel Marquez 3 Appreciation thread: Did JMM get robbed?

[therealpugilist]

Pretty sure I scored it a draw so I don't think Marquez was robbed. But it was quite a disappointing performance by Pacquiao; he was completely stifled. Marquez truly is an ATG.

this performance really showed how good a technician/tactician Marquez was...he had trouble slipping that rocket left and in this fight he neutralized it....are you gonna have time to re-score it?

Manny was red hot around this time, they though JMM was past it enough so Manny could finally get a clear win, it never happened. JMM showed how great he was as well

Yes, they thought they found a victim. And based on Marquez's one-sided loss to Mayweather, the assumption was that he couldn't handle welterweight well. Turns out, he was as good as any welter not named Floyd.

or he just had Manny's number...their styles are like steak and potatoes together


I was never big on Marquez fighting over 140...he couldve got somethings done at 140.....JMM vs Hatton, Garcia, Morales, Khan, Bradley and Peterson around from 09-2013 wouldve been nice

I'll go back and rewatch it today, but I certainly felt he got robbed. To me this fight was the easiest to score.

round 1 Marquez
round 2 Pac
round 3 Pac
round 4 Pac (this one I had problem scoring it to be honest)

round 6 Pac
round 7 Marquez (close round)
round 8 Marquez
round 9 Marquez
round 10 Pac
round 11 Pac
round 12 Pac

To be honest it could have been a draw and even a Marquez win. It was a very hard fight to score.No robberies there. Even me the first time I watched it, I thought Marquez won easy, because everybody thought Pacquiao would beat him easily. Could have gone either way cause there was so many close rounds. Manny landed more but Marquez landed some hard shots there. Great fight!!

[gmc_rfc_06]

Yes, it wasn't even a close fight.

117-111 Marquez.

The better work was all Marquez, cleaner, harder, better punches throughout the fight and dictated the range.
