I think the judges got it wrong, but you can see somewhat of their point of view. I cant remember anymore, but Marquez won like 6 rounds easily, and there was like another 6 close ones that someone MIGHT edge to Pac. But are you expecting Pac to be unbiased? It was HIM fighting afterall.
Yes, I felt that Pac won 3 rounds after rewatching the fight about 2 times. WHen I saw it the first time I thought four rounds. Lets keep in mind that Pac was not able to drop Marquez in this fight which was the argument made to show that Pac won the first 2 fights. In the first few fight Marquez punch stats were superior to Pac and now that he lost they are relevant. Seriously, Pac can not adjust. They picked Bradley because of his undefeated record and his tendency to be drawn into Brawls.
The punchstats for this fight were inflated and tampered with to make a case for emmanuel. It was clear that HBO was in on the robbery job already in place by how the commentators were speaking throughout the broadcast. emmanuel set things up to have HBO lie to the public for him. Fortunately, the general public was lucky enough to have that brave soul in the audience that threw the plastic bottle at emmanuel's spaceship dome. It was a symbolic act showing that even people there in live attendance know emmanuel just got schooled and was on the gifted end of a disgraceful robbery, one of many that have plagued this unforgiving sport.
Agree with this, taking into cosideration there history the fact most believe Marquez won both fights makes this one of the biggest robberys in history.
I'm sure in the "Classic" section this video would serve as fuel as to why many of the "Old School/Well Schooled" fighters would not only compete with today's crop, but win. People have mentioned it many times, like Trainers and boxers that have been around for a long time...that say that boxers today lack the fundamentals: Mentally and Technically, aren't as superior as some would have you believe and try to makeup up for it with physicality. And while I always hold back because I'm tired of the "Back in my day" talk from Grandpa since they tend to think their era is better than the next no matter what...a lot can be said from someone without bias. JMM is Old School. Taught by a Master.
I could not find it but I think this is like #33 or 34. On a seperate note in watching Pac's Bible study presentation you could see that Pac is memorizing scriptures and thus it is likely he did say that gay's should be killed. Especially when he called it the "life manual".
No, the judges got it right. They did exactly what they were paid to do. - Same for the compu-box guys.
