    I actually have yet to see the fight though I am well aware of the result. But let me ask you was the fight as exciting and as entertaining to watch as there previous two fights?

    Nah it wasn't a WAR.

    I am a pacquiao supporter no matter what.But he got schooled.Manny did not or could not throw down like he normally would.I think Manny got countered everytime he wanted to attack.

    i enjoyed it, JMMs offense was some of the most educated I've seen since Hopkins Pavlik.

    No I kept waiting for the exchanges but the fight never ever really got off the ground a sparring chess match. No one one would fully commit, Pac was the agressor but even he limited his attacks and Marquez was basicly in Im going to only counter and and stay of the floor **** it. the fight in all honesty was a dull affair.

    Dont listen to him. Just because it wasnt a "war" its not exciting? Lol how is a 9-1 underdog giving manny pacquiao a boxing lesson not exciting? I could barely sit still the fight was VERY exciting fight. Pacquiao fought very smart and disciplined and was an amazing chess match. Marquez was very aggressive, fearless of attacking. Kinda like the first fight but not as one-sided for Marquez.

    It was a boring fight.

    Neither fighter wanted to engage until the end.

    It was a tense and tactical affair

    There was 5-10 second bursts of the first 2 wars but both fighters would back off

    Depends on your tastes. I thought it was exciting, nor did I find the result controversial. Both landed good shots, but Manny edged Juan.

    I thought it was exciting. Not much action like in their first 2 wars. It was exciting much like how Groves/Degale was exciting.

    If you prefer baseball to football (American) then you'll enjoy this fight.

    -But Manny played it painfully safe. He looked like a tiny Wlad KLitchko. (Except Wlad doesn't usually miss so many punches.)

    The casual fans I watched it with were complaining and heckling the fighters for their insipidity. This fight failed to deliver half of the action that either of the first 2 fights produced.
