    No one says it's a 'robbery' because it was very close. It could have easily gone either way.

    probably the most clear win out of the whole rivalry.... besides KTFO6 of course.

    :patsch I wonder if the tards will copy and paste a list of how the writers and viewers scored the fight..... they love doing that for Bradley yet when it comes to this fight, they come at us with the old we should respect the judges decision...

    Pacquiao lost that ****ing fight period....

    I'm pretty sure he didn't celebrate at the end of the last one.

    I had it for Marquez by 2 points, then again in a close fight people love to cry robbery. No close fight is a robbery especially when it's obvious that it could go either way.

    It was close but finding 7 rounds for Pac is a huge stretch.

    The second could genuinely go either way but the rubber is the most difficult to produce a Pac card for.

    This point seems lost on many posters.

    8-4 or 7-5 Marquez on my card

    It's either a robbery or a gift decision. Doesn't matter. Marquez won. Put up a poll. Let's find out what the majority of people believe.

    Credit Pac for not being happy with the decision (either that or he didn't want to deal with Bradley again) and giving JMM a chance to put the nail in the coffin.

    It wasn't a robbery, you had a lot of legit people calling it either way. It seemed like a robbery in light of JMM's big underdog status, and especially in context of JMM largely outboxing Pac for 3 fights, and having nothing to show for it. But any of the 3 fights could have gone either way legit, just more often than not they'll go the money guy.

    Close fight no matter who you had winning.
