Juan Manuel Marquez had Jacobs winning 115-113 against Canelo

Dougie over at the Ring scored it 117-111 live and 116-12 upon further review.

I'm right there with him. Gave Canelo 9 rounds and im sure it's feasible to give him 8 upon a second viewing. Otherwise it was amongst the cleanest decisions I ever saw.

Marquez is also the guy that thinks he actually beat Tim Bradley. Guess he's impressed by punching air??

 

many Mex fighters didn't like canelo i remember not sure why i went along with it

 

As much as I love Marquez, he's hating on Alvarez a bit, and has held some kind of contempt for many years now.

Marquez and his trainer Nacho have been long time critics of Canelo.

in 2011 when Canelo was 21 and became a world titlst by beating Matthew Hatton, Juan Manuel Marquez was very critical of Canelo for fighting Hatton.

When the Mexican press asked Canelo his thoughts on Marquez's criticism, Canelo responded by challenging JMM to a boxing match... I don't think Marquez was very happy about that, and has continued to be somewhat biased against Canelo.

 

I'm a huge Marquez fan but you can tell he's jealous and don't forget that they both got beef from a while back

 

Doesn't jive with their agenda, so there must be a vast conspiracy against Canelo involving you, me, Froch, JMM..

 

This. I like Marquez, but besides a few good moments Jacobs barely landed any clean shots while Canelo kept tagging him with clean shots.

I also agree with Marquez being delusional about beating Bradley. Marquez was still on cloud nine after knocking out PAC and tried to do the same to Bradley, which didn’t work, since Bradley used his mobility and boxed Marquez smart and didn’t trade.

 

I'm a much bigger Marquez fan than Canelo, but JMM is so biased against Canelo.

It's weird because I feel Canelo and JMM share similar strengths and weaknesses, and obviously both use the counter punching style very well.

I mentioned it in a thread earlier today, but JMM has been very critical of Canelo for a long time, even as far as 2011 when Canelo was 21, when JMM was asked about Canelo becoming a champion.

JMM was criticizing Canelo for becoming a world titlist by beating Hatton. Later that week the same network interviewed Canelo and asked him his thoughts on what JMM said about him, and Canelo responded by challenging Marquez to a fight which when they interviewed JMM again he said it was not going to happen. Its on youtube, obviously in Spanish.

Mexican fighters are very proud and macho. Barrera was not celebrating when JMM KO Pacquiao, he actually looked gutted.
JMM was the face of Mexican boxing up until Canelo became a household name. I can see why there may be some animosity.

 

Mexicans know JMM isn't too fond of Canelo.

 

Lots of rumours about JMM being on the juice too.

 

Boxing Seen scorecard had it a draw.

Bro, your avatar is hilarious. 4 Mexicans and 3 of them are linked to PEDs. 2 got caught. 1 was the one of the biggest PED users in boxing history.

Really puts a negative light on Mexican Boxing.
