    Didn't some Boxing writers have Holyfield beating Lewis second time around? There is such a thing as being too close to the action imo.

    Can you re-explain what you are talking about here?... as it is stated, I don't really think it makes sense.

    bias and call it as it is..

    Moral of the story is the majority of voters believed Marquez didn't win this fight, 55-45.

    Certainly does not fit Nacho's claim it was the "biggest robbery of the past 52 years" :patsch To me it seems everything concerning Marquez was exaggerated/overstated in this fight.

    Fking *******s and their penchant for twisting things around:lol:

    The Moral of the story is that, according to that poll, only 12% of people tought Pac won. Compare that to JMM's 45% and we have a robbery:hi:

    :deal First they're like, "Pacman won." After seeing the 12% on the poll, they have a eureka moment, a historic moment in their evolution, then it's like "Okay, but 43% didn't think Marquez won!" No ****, *******s, it's called a "draw". :patsch:nut

    Suppose HBO said that the poll was 90% Pac winning. Would you still believe it?

    So why do you believe what they DID report. Did you personally tally the numbers? Wake up, the whole thing was a scam, start to finish.

    Next you'll be telling me that the NY State Boxing Commission was ACTUALLY considering keeping Margarito from fighting in New York.

    Why are people so gullible?

    55 % of boxing writers thought Marquez didn't win.

    That pretty much takes robbery off the table, regardless of who you felt won.
