    I know this is the classic section, but with so many Pac lunatics that are just not reasonable, I wanted the historians of the sport to chime in on their thoughts on who they thought won last night between JMM and Pacquiao?

    Vote on the poll!

    I gave Pacquiao rounds 3, 4, 9, 10, and 11. The rest to Marquez.

    114-113 JMM.

    The ironic thing about alot of the Pac fans is that they complain everyone is a Pac hater, but the only reason this is so is because of the **** that they spew forth. People like Johnco and PacDBest just make me want him to lose.

    Also Marquez won in my books, I didn't have it as wide as you did but I thought he won by a point or 2.

    Didn't see it, but at two of the most popular Russian boxing forums current results of the same poll are:

    AllBoxing.ru
    Marquez - 65% ( 43 )
    Pacquiao - 34% ( 23 )

    Boxing.ru
    Marquez - 81% ( 34 )
    Pacquiao - 19% ( 8 )

    Wow Marquez has a pretty substantial majority vote there. It seems the consensus is that Marquez won a close fight which I didn't expect.

    Hey Senya, if you have any more info like that from other sites you run into, please pass the info around.....
    I think we're going to be hard pressed to find a site with a poll that shows that Pac won the fight.

    Those polls you put up sure add up to what actually took place in the ring between JMM and Pacquiao!

    I have not seen the fight yet. I hear it was close with JMM doing better in rounds 11-12.

    I had it 7-5 for JMM. I need to rewatch it as I am not sure of a couple of rounds that would make it 8-4.

    Yahoo sports and ESPN both had Marquez winning.

    BTW, notice that 2 of the voters for MP in the poll have less than 60 posts.

    Marquez edged it, like he did the first time. I feel sorry for him.

    Yeah, I had Marquez needing those rounds and getting them.

    It's a sin actually. Even Pac's people looked down in the interim between the final bell and the scores. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I was Ok with it on the night because it was such a good fight, but it's starting to nip me now.

    The thing is, to me, I always felt Marquez was controlling the tempo of the fight. He was mostly the boss in there, despite its closeness. It was one of those were I looked at my card around round 9 and had it fairly even and thought "Christ, I thought I had JMM way ahead".

    That's pretty much how I feel about it. I think that, despite it's closeness, it's a tough one to score for Pac.
