    I'm Marquez fan but I don't know how you had him 3 points ahead in the first match.

    DLH vs Mosley II was close but clear for DLH.

    The late KD sealed the Quartey fight for me...... and the Whitaker one I haven't seen for a while, but PW was too busy taking the **** rather than landing with scoring punches.

    It all depends on what you score on for me.

    I actually had Shane winning that fight by a point.

    I get uspet when people say that Clottey was Cotto's toughest opponent.

    Well, I've not seen it for a while..... but I gave Pac the first two, plus one other, making it 114-111.

    Maybe you could give Pac another round to make it 113-112, but anybody scoring that fight for Pacquiao needs locking up IMO.

    For most of the fight he was schooled.

    Holmes versus Norton.

    I've seen plenty of less action packed fights that were probably closer but what made this fight come to mind is the see-saw nature of the fight. They were exchanging bombs and teeing off on each other. And sometimes it went back and forth several times in a round. Just when you thought one guy was done he would come back and drill his opponent.

    haha and I get upset when people say that Mosley won the match. For me Cotto clearly out-boxed him.Moreover Shane had the face of a beaten man at the end. But I'm a Cotto fan so...

    I must re-watch and score it. The second match was clearly for Marquez for me. At some round Pac took a beating in this match. I thought that this beating is going to have and impact on Pac career but I guess I was wrong :)

    Definitely Pacquiao-Maquez I. I've watched this fight many times and I've never been entirely happy with the way I've scored it. I've had both guys winning a close fight and the last time I watched it, I had it even. There are just so many subjective rounds.

    I scored Pea-Oscar and Taylor-Winky even but I find them easier to score than this fight.

    I found JMM-Pac II easy to score - I have it 114-113 for Marquez every single time.

    Pacquiao - Marquez I

    First time I scored it I had it a draw, but watching it over a few times afterward I think you could easily make a case for either guy. I'm fine with the official draw though.

    I actually put good money on Shane to win and although the match was close, Mosley ****ed up in trying to be a boxer-puncher the entire fight(trying to out bang cotto) instead of trying to outhink and outbox Cotto. He fought Cottos fight for most rounds and although he was successful at times, I feel that when Cotto finally started retreating it was Cotto who was outboxing shane. Extremely close fight, but clear win for Cotto. If i tryed I can easily find rounds to give to Shane, and have him edge the fight but that would be biased.

    I'd say Barerra - Marque is pretty tough considering what one looks for with regards to execution of skills.

    Hopkins-Taylor 1 depending on what you look for.

    damn am i ****ing drunk. sorry for the above drivel.:yep

    It was pretty easy to score - Pacqiuao won by 1 point - but that doesn't mean it wasn't EXTREMELY close. Closest fight I've ever seen.

    6 rounds a piece with a KD landed at the end of the third that really hurt Marquez and allowed Pac to turn a 9-10 into a 10-8 to give him a 1 point victory.

    If that's not close, then nothing is.

    I think when the American man's promoter and himself says that he needed to do more to earn a decision. I think the concession is that Froch won mate.
