    Do you think the gifted fighter in a big fight is aware ahead of time that he'll get the decision as long as he doesn't get stopped?

    Let's put it this way. He knew he will not lose a close decision. Everybody should know and accept that as well - just too much at stake for a Pac loss.

    Nah, if he was told he don't need to beat him to win he would have had incentive to take it easy in training

    He walked back to his corner after the final bell with his head down because he bought into his own delusions of improving. emmanuel probably expected it to be a tough fight at most, but he sure as hell didn't come in thinking he'll get schooled.

    Pac was disappointed cause he wanted a knockout but didn't get it. He wanted to beat Marquez badly, but instead it was another close fight.

    The whole world knew Juan had no chance, no matter how clearly he won there was no way he would be allowed to stop the potential Pac-Floyd fight happening.

    bob arum was already making talk about a potential 4th Juan fight before emmanuel even got schooled in the 3rd one

    the whole world knew Juan wasn't getting a decision either way, including Juan who kept insisting he'll need to KO emmanuel to win. It's hard to buy that emmanuel wasn't even aware of something the entire world knew especially when he was one of the people it revolved around. He may be a little dumb, "special", or funny looking, but he can't be that dumb.

    He doesn't have the same history with Margo as he does with Marquez. And the Margo fight wasn't close at all.

    Exactly. :deal

    Reasonable argument for one of his fans to hold onto but what I quoted below disputes that.
