:rofl my score card was exactly the same.

 

Yeah, but what was on their secret, "Uncle Bob" cards, hidden below their seats? (The ones they would have pulled out had the fight gone the distance.)




Wait, why am I laughing?

 

looking at this thread had the KO not occurred I would say we would all have a long night

 

Yep. I gave the first to Juan, by just a little, because Pac was missing a lot of his shots. He seemed to find his distance by the very end of the round, and then clearly won round 2.

Jim Lampley probably had round one 10-8 for Pac.

 

Pacquiao was still sloppy and left his chin opened too much. Marquez was landing the more cleaner, harder punches before the KO. Marquez won the series period. Pacquiao had 3 fights to learn Marquez and the game plan the camp comes up with is careless aggressiveness with a counter puncher (who also had 3 fights to learn Pacquiao)? He was asking for that KO then.

On the other hand, Marquez had a whole different game plan. Work on strength and rely on his straight right to knock a carelessly aggressive Pacquiao out so it won't go to the scorecards. I mean, the result was too obvious.

Both guys want to knock each other out: 1 of them is the sloppy, double jab-straight left guy and the other one is the beefed up counter puncher with ring intelligence. Who would you pick?

The Pac who fought DLH would've walked through JMM on Saturday. That was a more controlled, technical Pac who relied on his speed, footwork and feints to control the fight in the middle of the ring.

No point for a Pac-JMM V, because Pac doesn't improve between their fights.

 

2nd round for me was a clear Pac round....his straight left found the mark more often the the occasional right that Juan was pitching.....of course round 3 was clearly a JMM round due to the knock down he scored.....but the only other round I gave Juan was the now famous 6th round where his was punch was enough to erase what transpired in the 2:58 seconds before Juan launched that right hand that laid Pac out. Juan was knocking out a few corners in scrub round but he wasn't winning any of those rounds outside of #3.

 

if the fight had continued, pac would have been up by 2 points after the 6th. quite an achievement against jmm and with jmm condition, i think it would have been difficult for him to overhaul it.

 

until the KO pac was dominating the sixth
