Pac fought catiously, jumped in fast, landed and got out again. Occasionally JMM was able to counter him, but for the bigger part of the fight Pac simply outboxed him. Pac landed more clean shots in comparasion to JMM.
This is repeated as some kind of mantra. IMO Pac edged it, not based on some weird aggression criteria, but simply because he outlanded JMM in terms of clean punches landing. Those counters JMM landed in the middle rounds is not sufficient to compensate Pacs jabs, one-two's, and the low straight left counters he slipped in under JMM's guard.
In order for you to win a fight, you have to have 3-4 highlight punches the entire fight. Dumbasses can't even see fight properly.
jmm punch output was not enough. he waited for pac to throw then he countered 1 or 2 off. but, that cant beat pacs punch output and aggression. pac outlanded him and throw more. the replays after the rounds showed pac landing cleanly and throwing more than jmm
Manny won, now get the f*ck over it! What fight is everyone watching that they call a robbery? This fight was close! I had it 116-113 for Pacquiao. Williams-Lara, that was a robbery. Helenius-Chisora, that was a robbery. Pacquiao-Marquez III, a close fight that Pacman won. I am no ******* or anything like that. I score fairly no matter who is fighting. I like both of these great fighters, but one of these great fighters won and the other lost. Plain and simple.

Love the vocal minority of PacFans trying to keep convincing the masses. Its like some kind of cult trying to force their beliefs on the logical thinking masses. Marquez won, Arum robbed him off it citing a business decision to salvage the Maywather fight. Now move along PacFans, Pac is still a ATG and he will still get his fight Mayweather. He just lost to a better fighter thats all, it happens to almost everyone.
I had this fight a draw, but if it was going to be given to anyone Marquez clearly deserve the decision. He control every aspect of the fight, had Manny frustrated, landed the better punches, he just exel that night in all areas. Marquez clearly did his homework:good
:good IDK why some Pacfans are so hateful that there hero lost to one of the best Technicians of this era is not a bad thing...PAC still ranks higher ATG wise no matter what outcome of this fight, JMM still ranks below ATG wise... but one thing is for sure SKILL wise JMM is above PAC and is the Pilipino Boogeyman. When your own Promoter has to protect you and have the judges nod in your favor then admit it later was a bussiness move for Mayweather you know you lost LMAO
you would be amazed on how the OP viewed this fight before. he is almost like you. i don't know if th OP is tripping or not but to change his opinion on this fight like he did after rewatching this fight, it means that this fightis what i'm saying all along. it's close and could have gone the other way. don't be too stubborn and think there is only one way in scoring a close fight.
I guess that is what you can't admit. Marquez lost to a better fighter(though, close he could have won too). There is video of the fight out there. There is the compubox stats out there, there is the judges cards out there. The bottom video is the fight: http://www.allthebestfights.com/pacquiao-vs-marquez-3-full-fight-video-pelea-2011/
