Yeah very techinical gifted fighter indeed but i had him losing the fight by a point very close fight,the knockdown made the difference of the fight though imo.
JMM didn't deserve to lose the second fight. Even if you don't have JMM winning (and I did have him winning), he certainly deserved a draw. That decision was the boxing biz at work, making sure their big money fighter could move on to other more profitable blockbusters, say with a washed up, should-have-retired-five-years-ago-billionaire.
I guess no-one will go on the 1st HL thread now so I'll post here about it: Brilliant video. JMM is my favourite fighter along with Pacquiao, I love them both. Bring on the last part of the trilogy!! Selfkill what in your opinion is Marquez's best performance/most exciting fight other than the Pac fights? And since people are talking about it, I honestly cannot decide whether the 1st Pac-JMM fight was a Pac win by 1 point or a draw despite watching it many times. I think JMM definitely won the 2nd fight by a round or two.
It was very close, so people could score it differently, but I had Marquez by enough to make it a clear decision, or even if you factor in the politics and business of boxing, a clear draw. I didn't mean 'didn't deserve to lose' in the sense that Glen Johnson didn't deserve to lose to Dawson: because he fought his ass off, but still lost by a round imho. I meant JMM 'didn't deserve to lose' because I thought he won, or at least should have been given a draw. Any picks on JMM-Casamayor?
I thought Marquez was flawless against Peden, and was just dominating him throughout the contest. Peden ain't no slouch. His most exciting fight that I've seen other than the Pac fights, was his fight with Barrera but I'm bias. That was a huge fight for me, because they were both my favourite fighters, and I was on the edge of my seat all the way through.
I think Marquez will win imo probably a little faster and will pick him off often going the destance though. UD for Juan.
Pac's speed and power were the two factors that gave Marquez the most trouble, but Casamayor isn't nearly as fast as Pac, though he does have some power. It's going to be a really interesting fight, I think. I hope JMM pulls out a victory.
Thanks! JMM is awesome...truly one of boxings best. It's a bit disapointing that he took so long to get the kind of praise he's always deserved and its unfortunate his time was the same time PAC is in the game. If Pac wasn't around JMM would be top dog....PAC is just the guy who has more fire and will which makes him that much better than the great JMM. Skill wise there are few that match Juan and it's a blessing to be able to watch how well he's tweaked his craft over the years. Even though PAC wins a 3rd encounter I still want to see it since the first two were absolutely thrilling.
