Marquez-Pacquiao Robbery Thread

Amateur boxing has guidelines on how to score a fight, so that judges are consistent with their scoring. Does professional boxing have similar thing written? Or the they live it to judges preferences. I asked because I often give the nod to aggressor for close rounds.

 

THIS IS A FACT THAT CANNOT BE IGNORED.

Mayweather was outboxing, and countering the **** out of Marquez when they fought.

I didnt see him use his weight advantage, or physically impose his will on Marquez. He just BOXED his ass.

Mayweather is levels above Pac and Marquez. It is evident.

If we are to pit the current Pacquiao (who fought Marquez) against the today's Mayweather, believe me, it's not gonna be a happy ending for Pacquiao.

I have been a staunch supporter of Pac ever since, dont think im a ***** cause i am not, I am pinoy, but right now I'm just stating the obvious.

Mayweather, despite his cherrypicking ways and all the bs he has done on and off the ring, is CLEARLY the best in this era. Superior in many ways, and I dont think Pac stands a chance.

Period.

 

good

 

They should not have obviously I haven't stated that. I just think that in a perfectly honest circumstances out of tree close fights Marquez would've won at least one, It is like those close fights with every round that can be scored for one man or the other but you score it a shut out for one of the fighters. You can argue it was OK but the truth is that probably the fight was fixed.

 

Rounds 8 and 9 are very very close... Round 8 i gave it to Marquez by a close margin.. In Round 9 i feel that Marquez just gassed up or maybe just got confident so Pacquioa just got the better of him.. Pacquioa carried the momentum to the later rounds and won all of them..

 

I had it a draw definatley not as bad as most are making out a lot of the rounds were very very close

 

Most important factor is clean affective punching. Which means which fighters scores more clean blows and do more damage(obviously very subjective criteria). After that comes affective aggression, ring generalship and so on.

 

Robert Hoyle scored it 114-114. Great job exposing the one judge who scored it the most fairly according to you guys.

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

it was a great fight, close fight,

pac won,

drama queen

 

I just watched the fight. Wow, that was really boring. Both fighters were too cagey.

JMM looked to be too wary of Pacquiao's power and too defensive as a result. Pacquiao looked to be too wary of JMM's counter punching ability and didn't throw as many punches as he usually does.

I don't see why there's a furore over the result, I had Pacquiao winning by two rounds. He was the more aggressive of the two and did more work. Neither landed any big, meaningful punches. Pacquiao threw a lot more combinations while JMM was mainly looking for counter pot-shots.

It was one of those close fights where the commentary and atmosphere can sway your opinion. I imagine the majority of those on Twitter furious about the result watched one of the many PrimeTime streams available last night, who had it for JMM. HBO, of whom there were far less streams available, had it for Pacquiao. I watched a replay with the sound turned off and no scoring from the commentators/ringside analysts shown on screen

 

very close fight but i feel that pacquiao landed more punches. JMM's punches were amazing to behold though because they look sharp but i still score it for pacquiao.

 

that said I could see that fight a draw but a win for Peterson with the two KDs is very controversial. Just saying...

 

I am also a big Marquez fan.. I just watched it and scored it the way it's supposed to be scored.. :smoke

 

114-114 was still generous to Manny. Do you have a response to my post criticizing the other judges?:hi:
