Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Manny Puncher Pacquiao (Rounds 2-12)

I have pac winning both fights closely but it couldhave easily been 2 draws or 2 marquez victories thats how close both fights are.

 

i had it for pac both fights.. very close fights though

 

marquez won both

 

every second of every one of those 12 rounds matters

People might be able to ignore a part of the fight on some forum, but in reality it doesn't work that way.

 

EXACTLY. I think Mayweather may had something to do with it, but I think more likely he was focusing on speed and being able to duck under Katsidis's swarming hooks and overhand rights. I remember Dwyer saying how Katsidis might not give JMM room to counter as a smotherer, but he controlled the inside perfectly. People don't recognize how hard it actually is to hit JMM more than twice in a row cleanly.

Look at how many punches he dodged after the knockdown starting at 1:10. Sure, he ate a stiff jab, a leaping left or two, and a right hand among all those punches, but he dodged a large majority of them-while hurt! And then at the 2:40 mark, his footwork and evasive head-movement is fluid and swift, moving backwards while dodging punches he can't even see. Definitely a student adding to his repertoire.

 

Round........1......2.......3........4........5.......6......7.......8........9......10.......11.....12
