Juan Manuel Marquez vs Chris John - An Absolute Disgrace

[Zaroku]

JMM won a close fight. He's been robbed before, so I'm not surprised.

Just watched it, here's my scorecard
R1: Marquez
R2: Marquez
R3: Marquez (Could go either way, John landed the biggest punch of the fight here but Marquez was the busier man and did more work throughout the round, depends on how you judge I guess)
R4: Marquez
R5: Marquez
R6: Marquez
R7: Marquez
R8: John
R9: Marquez
R10: Marquez
R11: John
R12: John

I've never seen Marquez and John before and thought I would have a look see when I saw this thread. Here's how I had it.

Round 1: 10-10 Even
Round 2: 10-9 Marquez
Round 3: 10-9 Marquez
Round 4: 10-9 Marquez
Round 5: 10-9 Marquez
Round 6: 10-10 Even
Round 7: 10-9 Marquez
Round 8: 10-9 Marquez
Round 9: 10-9 Marquez
Round 10: 9-9 Even (scored for Marquez but dubious call for a low blow cost JMM 1 point)
Round 11: 9-9 Even (again scored for Marquez but another dubious call for a low-blow for another point)
Round 12: 10-9 Marquez

Total: 118-110 Marquez

I just don't know what fight the judges were looking at. Chris John mounted no attack at all. The only thing I can think of was the Indonesian audience had an effect, because they screamed at everything John threw - even when he missed.

He's been robbed plenty of times. The Freddie Norwood fight was also a robbery.

I remember that one. Very disappointing. Norwood was absolute garbage.
