    They were also all B level guys. Even then with the gameplan, they had JMM in serious trouble in different points of the fight. They had JMM is a position that Pac didnt put JMM in not once.

    It was just a bad gameplan and the corner work was horrid. Buboy was actually the one making sense. Roach kept saying, Manny you have to go for it, well whoop de dam, it was too late, the mans thinking now.

    JMMs 39 years old. He didnt go hard because that was it he was spent. You saw his post fight, he just threw himself to the chair. They just outsmarted Team Pac. It was tactically brilliant.

    You wonder why Nacho always praises Pac with such admiration? Hes thinking, damn you get me a physically gifted fighter like that and I can teach him more than a right hook.

    Many refuse to voice it, but even *******s know it.....it was a farce of a decision and its not even debatable. A robbery it was, close it was not!:bbb

    You're right, many people did not think Pac won but the majority did. I was disappointed myself because I thought Pac would dominate an "old" man. Dinamita is truly a terrific fighter for his age!

    you think Juan will age enough by the time they have a 4th fight if they have it for emmanuel to win a legit decision against him?

    boxing is so crazy. Juan upsets emmanuel but gets robbed, so they can still keep the hype for a Mayweather-emmanuel fight. Floyd might end up doing some jail time. I don't know what's next this fight is on thin ice.

    It was close, but not confusingly so. Close enough to be entertaining but with a clear winner, Marquez.

    If Pac fights the same way, same result. Heres the simple equation, In their primes Pac fought like an animal and had two stalemate fight against JMM. Youd figure, lets not change it because the guys 39 years old and we have the advantage now. Theyve watch the Katsidis, Juan Diaz tape, both southpaws with success.

    They did the opposite, He's old so we will not press the action:lol:

    Fight to your strength. If manny fights like that against Floyd, its an easy shut out. He needs to fight relentless.

    Fights lost a little luster, 2 years late but i still want to see it.

    It was definitely close. I had Manny winning, but there were some very close and difficult rounds to score.

    I had Juan winning 8 or 9 rounds. Manny got schooled. When he threw, he missed a shitload of them while JMM countered and landed hard, significant shots. This was pretty much the story of the whole fight. The last few rounds I could give to Pacquiao simply because he was more active and started to land a little more. Still, I think JMM won more clearly in this fight than the first two times they fought.

    Delusional. Many people thought the fight wasn't even CLOSE, the majority thought JMM won a close fight. I think JMM spanked that ass and exposed the fact that he really hasn't improved since the Barrera fight.

    But just take a look at Poll Results at the moment. What's wrong with that?

    My exact sentiments.
    Effective and RELENTLESS aggression is the way to beat JMM and FMJ.

    Close in one respect there were few absolutely dominant rounds, but Marquez was better than Pac in 8-9 rounds, so I selected no, in terms of scoring it should not have been close, but the action was closer IMO.

    I don't get the Marquez tactician thing, he was getting tagged by right hands all night. Over reaching with the jab, he is such a tactician that NONE of the judges scored the fight for him.

    LOL

    Marquez was Klingoned from all the right hands he was eating.
