How come Marquez didn't

Marquez won all the exchanges and even when there was a lull it was usually Marquez who would instigate the contact. Manny coming forward isn't much of a reason to win as Manny is one of the most aggressive fighters in the sport and only knows to come forward. The bottom line is ring generalship isn't about moving forward if you're moving into traps all night, the ring general is the one dictating the pace and style of the fight, setting the traps, and that is Marquez.

Did DLH deserve a win against Mayweather for moving forward all night. Many, including myself, said so after that fight. In hindsight, no, we were just butt hurt that our guy didn't win.

 

So coming forward and throwing more is the correct manner in which to score a fight? Now I've heard it all. atsch

 

he said he learned from the first two fights not to get overconfident, which is what cost him the knock downs.

 

True that. I was dissapointed of Manny cos he didnt knock him out to shut Marquez out for good but clearly, he still won the fight.

 

first round was stalemate. both wanting to just counterpunch. jmm was succesful at various times when pac was the aggressor but pac was the one who pushed the fight.

vs barrera, diaz, katsidis, jmm was very aggresive forcing combinations left and right. against pac, we only got spurts of that and most were coming off counters from pac offense.

 

JMM clearly won that fight, He was beating Mannys ass when Manny came forward and he was beating Mannys ass when he initiated the attack. If Manny threw five punches and he threw three, his three had more effect than Mannys five. Dont get me wrong, Manny landed some good shots but the overall effectiveness of punches thrown were from Marquez.

 

Clearly you are the ****** if you think JMM pressed the fight.

 

his plan was to counter and tame pac's offense. pac still pushed the fight. jmm stayed in his comfort zone and was damn good at it. if he ever won, it wasn't clear cut either. how the hell was that supposed to take the thorn out of his side?

 

JMM would have to use a shotgun to earn a draw against Pac. The only way he ever wins over Pac is to rip his heart out of chest and eat in front of the entire stadium and media.

 

He didn't come to fight?
It was Pac who looked confused because he was gonna have to earn his check that night.
Marquez was all business. That was a world class high speed chess match going on. How was that not a fight with both fighters covered in blood?:huh

 

If Pac had not throw some punches, Marquez would have just stood in the ring and looked at him. Nacho told Marquez to NOT ENGAGE all night. When you watch the replay listen.
