    Pac won both by a point - and I had a decent bet on Marquez for #2. The "robbery" fantasy of Marquez fans is hysterical. It just burns their balls and 2 inch dicks off that their man lost BOTH fights by a *single* point.

    Pwned.

    9-3 Marquez for the first fight is an absolutely abysmal scorecard. You are either a biased hater or a severe '****. I don't have a problem with anyone scoring that fight for JMM, it was very close and I can well understand why some would score it for him, but there is no way on Earth scoring 9 rounds his way for that fight can be justified. I suggest you watch the entire fight again with an open mind, and stop clinging to this fake memory of how it was a 'schooling'. I am a Marquez fan and I think he won the second fight, but that scorecard is embarrassing.

    I'll be totally honest with you. Pacquaio won the first 2 rounds, clearly. He obviously won the first and the second as well, and after that I struggle to give him more than a one round, clearly anyway. I'm hard pushed to give him anymore than two of the last 10 rounds. The rounds IMO were clear for Marquez, as he landed the sharper punches, better defense, and simply outlanded and outscored Pacquaio without the rounds being "pillar to post" beatings over the three minutes.

    We must simply have a totally different way of scoring fights. I just don't see that at all.

    I'm a massive Hopkins fan, yet had Taylor beating him over two fights. I also don't like Sugar Ray Leonard but had him beating Hagler. With those fights being very controversial, I could easily jump on the bandwagon and swing the other way to make myself happy.

    I'm honest.

    Are you suggesting that I'm not?

    I despise Antonio Tarver and adore Roy Jones, but I scored their first fight for Tarver by a point or two.

    I have watched Pac-Marquez I many times as I had a big argument with Selfkill about it a while back, and I genuinely do not see all these clean and effective outlanding and outscoring rounds for Marquez. I do in the second fight, but not in the first. Almost every round is close, I think I had about five rounds out of the twelve even. I know that's a lot, but I refuse to arbitrarily award a round to a man I do not believe had a genuine edge over the three minutes just to avoid a 10-10. I am also honest. It's a principle of scoring that I know sweet_scientist for one shares.

    Listen that first fight is ****ing hard to score. I gave JMM 7 rounds and Pac 5 rounds. One judge gave JMM 10 rounds and Pac 2 rounds, one judge gave Pac 7 rounds and JMM 5 rounds. Its a ****ing hard fight to score. None of the judges we corrupt, they all scored to the best of their ability.

    The third judge gave JMM 7 rounds, and Pac 5, but didn't count one of the knockdowns. Hence the draw.

    IMO, Marquez outscored Pacquiao. Apart from Pacquaio flooring Marquez three times in the opener, then having him all over the place and backing up in the second, I thought he was outboxed. I can't mind Marquez being in any sort of trouble outwith the first two rounds. Marquez clicked into gear in the third and simply outlanded Pacquaio. He then went onto land jabs, body punches, straight rights, and combininations over the vast majority of the fight. His uppercut was on the money often as well. Pacquaio certainly lacked ideas and variety over the last 10 rounds, IMHO. He was left hand happy. As I said, Pacquaio wasn't beaten all over the ring, but was rather outscored. During those last 10 rounds, IMO it's not as if it was a case of Pacquaio landing the bigger shots and Marquez landing the "pitter patter" non-effective blows. I thought Marquez even landed the better and more authoritive punches over the last 10.

    I never suggested that for one minute. I'm taking care of my own corner here.

    Had first fight a draw 114-114. I did post my scorecard on one of the past threads bout this but can't be bothered to go find it now

    2nd i thought jmm won by 1 or 2 points.

    Both fights so close defo want to see a 3rd fight to settle this, tho think pac might just take it, seems to have grown with the weight well and would have to assume it at 140. JMM despite 2 great wins seems to have tried to become a more offensive exciting fighter at LW in response to losing the decision vs pac. As a result is taking more punches than ever before and this could be his undoing vs pac
