    When 88% don't have have the guy winning that won.. Then you can justify a robbery. The fight was competitive not close. Pac was able to compete with Marquez in a lot of the rounds but he lost the majority.

    About half of that 88% also don't have him losing. Total 55% don't have him losing, which is more than 45% of having Marquez winning. Hardly a robbery according to the polls. If anything, the poll conducted indicates a draw.

    So if the majority verdic was that the fight was a draw then why did Pacquiao get the nod ?

    Logic doesnt work on *******s. It feels like a robbery because almost 90% felt that guy that won shouldnt have won. No matter that half felt it should have been a draw because Half felt that Marquez should have won which is 4 times as many that thought Pac won. All that equals robbery. Its not the first time. In fact Pac should have lost all three fights. Not to mention some funny business that happened early in his career, yet *******s hang very tight to ONE fight that Floyd had with castillo, a fight in which he clearly won the rematch without ANY doubt

    One of the judges scored it a draw. which is 33.3% of the judging panel. Moretti scored it 7-5 Pac, a narrow win for Pac. Trowbridge scored it 8-4 Pac which clearly is the outlier. 66.6% of the judges scores indicate it was a close fightwith one scoring a draw and one having Pac win slightly. In HBO poll it was 55% hacing a draw or Pac winning slightly. Apparently Trowbridge saw it as a more convincing win for Pac just like the 12% who voted Pac won in the HBO panel. In short there were no judges who saw it quite like the 45% who saw JMM win. There is no justification for a robbery here. If there was such, JMM would have already filed a protest. But he knows deep inside it wasn't.

    After watching the fight, I thought Pac won 7-5 or maybe 6-6 draw at the worst.

    It's baffling. Slow-mo favors neither fighter.

    Looking at it another way, 55% thinks Marquez didn't win. So....

    So only 45% thought JMM won. Wow, robbery. A draw is the fair result, but as it is, a draw could swing either way.
