Initiating the action doe'snt win you points. Pac did wait for JMM in the early rounds of fight 3, Marquez found himself leading and probing to the head and body with lead right and jabs to the body. Pacquiao could'nt counter it because Marquez wa'snt missing with his leads, he was landing them clean, clear, and effective. Sorry bro, but you missed that boxing lesson!

I'm always amazed by the rounds people give to Marquez - I'd love to know how people score rounds. If Pacquiao goes forward, throws 2 punches, 1 connects and 1 kind of but MArquez counters with a good punch Marquez will be seen to have won that duel by some. Why? Because he countered an open Manny - this to me is crazy - I don't know if it's because Marquez is the underdog so the anti-Pacquiao sentiment or whether it's because people like to pretend they understand the purist side of the sweet science so go for the "Chess player" rather than the brawler.
I've scored all 3 fights a number of times...the only fight my scoring is tough on is fight 3. Fight 1: I scored this recently so it's clearer in my head. Same score again - 113-112 Pacquiao - basically as judge #1 should have scored it. Round 1 (obviously) and Round 2 were Pacquiao's. Marquez took the next 4 rounds, Pacquiao got round 7, he was busier and connected more - Marquez took 8 and Pacquiao came back in 9 and 10, no doubt. Marquez took the last 2 rounds...113-112. I could understand it given the other way by maybe a point! but when people say Marquez won it easily I have to laugh, people are scoring out of hate or boxing snobbery. Fight 2: Can't recall round by round but scored it 114-113 to Pacquiao Fight 3: This fight was the one Marquez had a real complaint - he alludes to that himself. He says the 3rd fight was the one that outraged him...in other words the first 2 fights he was crying for the sake of crying. As Roach said "Those fights were so close that if we had lost by a point, we wouldn't cry like Marquez cries"...but fight 3 he had a case - I scored it a draw watching live, and then scored it 115-113 to Marquez - 1 or 2 rounds though are very very tough to score...Marquez also gave away round 12, that cost him and that sums him up - back up back up, don't make the fight and then wonder why judges don't favour you? In my eyes, Pacquiao won 2, Marquez won 1 and I think most unbiased people will score it similarly Aggression counts, if you want to back pedal constantly and just wait for your opponent making mistakes and risking nothing yourself in taking the fight to your opponent, then you better win it fairly clearly...Marquez does not do that often enough. |

Which is what this post is about, as we've gone over and over the differing opinions of what personal individual scores were for each fight numerous times. |

In terms of individual rounds then yes you're right. Apologies for not expressing that. Worth noting that Marquez was lucky the referee came to his rescue in the 2nd fight or he would have fallen again, he looks capable of falling but he's never come close to rocking Pacquio. But yes, in rounds where Marquez managed to stay on his feet, he won most of them |

all 3 razor close but after 3 viewings I have all 3 to jmm.
Jmm fought best in the first fight though he really schooled pac that night Pac fought best in the second and had some success in timing Juan and outboxing him. The third saw both slightly past best fighting at a slower tempo and again it could have gone either way. One of the atg trilogies. Can't wait for number 4. |

I have Pacman winning the first by a point, So a draw or Juan win isn't crazy
The second Juan winning 8-4, 7-5 draw isn't crazy but I think Pacman win is slight push The third was a clear Juan win, no other choice |

knocking down an opponent is as important as winning a round. Each gives you one point over you opponent.
I have it 19-17 for Marquez in rounds. and 4-0 for Pac in knockdowns. Head to head, Pac edges out Marquez, even if you look at all 3 fights as if they were a single one (which is a bit stupid imo) |
