    he doesn't expect to get the decision no matter what and is aiming for the KO.

    How many rounds do you think he needs to win minimum to get the decision, assuming no knockdowns happen? 7 rounds obviously isn't going to cut it.

    Maybe we should wait to talk about possible corruption after there is actually some reason to talk about it. And it's not just mindless bashing of a fighter you don't like.

    Depends on how many times he hits the canvas.

    7, ofcourse.

    What are you talking about? Plenty of fighters have been short changed of the decision against the more marketable fighters in the past. It still happens today.

    9-10 should do it.

    My prediction is he will win 8-4 or 7-5 rounds then pac will get a close ud.

    People saying this is an excuse are just fan boys. Im a realist and unfortunately this is boxing. Remember Lara - Williams?

    It's not about how many rounds he can win without getting knocked down. It's about how many rounds can he win clearly without getting knocked down. The answer would be seven. If the rounds are close we might get another controversial decision, but who knows, lets just enjoy the fight.

    9 rounds

    I expect him to give emmanuel a tough fight but don't see him winning. They were more evenly matched last time, but Juan never came close to KO'ing emmanuel. I don't believe he can win 7 clear rounds let alone 9.

    Well one thing for sure is Marquez can't afford to get dropped in this fight. With that said he still needs to win at least 8 clear rounds. But even if he does take 8 solid rounds I won't be surprised if they still give the fight to Pacquiao.

    I don't think he will, and I think he'll get dropped again, maybe even stopped.

    if he won 11 and there was one close round it would probably be an SD win for Pac to be honest

    marquez is NOT getting the decision

    he has to minimize his trip to the canvass. he can win 7 rounds and still lose if he goes down 3 times or do you mean that the judges would favor pacquiao in close rounds? just check the official scorecards and this is not an actual issue. the judges are actually fair and the only judge that scored way off was one judge who scored all but 2 rounds for marquez in the first fight.

    Realisticly if he does not get knocked down he probably needs to win 8 to 9 rounds clearly.
    Fight of this magnitude i doubt they can get away with with robbing him if he wins 8 clear rounds.... that said id still not be shocked.

    Just because a fight is somewhat close does not mean it cant be a robbery if the guy wins rounds clearly.
