Here's the official scorecard from Pacquiao-Marquez III. The judges concurred on 6 of the 12 rounds – 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.

The Telegraph had it as a draw, 114-114. I gave Pacquiao rounds 3,4,6,10,11 and 12; Marquez 1,2,5,7,8 and 9.



Here are the punch statistics:
Pacquiao ————- Marquez
578 TOTAL PUNCHES 436
176 TOTAL PUNCHES CONN 138
304 JABS THROWN 182
58 JABS CONN. 38
274 POWER PUN THROWN 254
117 POWER PUN CONN. 100

AVERAGE PER ROUND: Pacquiao landed 17 per round from 49 thrown, Marquez 11 from 36 thrown.

On final analysis, in a close fight there are always doubts. The judges make a decision based on individual rounds and hand their scores in each round. Over the generality of the fight, Marquez looked the more impressive; Pacquiao came on strong at the end. But all judging is subjective.

I agree, I also have it a draw. But for all the e-diots out there, a draw means Manny still wins by being the champion.

What world are you living in? A draw does not mean that "Manny still wins by being the champion", it means that Manny retains his belt. You do understand that a "draw" doesn't magically appear as a "W" on someone's record, right?
