.. noticed people are still talking about how skilful JMM was at the weekend. My coach basically got a hard on talking about it again. I have noticed the divide between the people who think he won and the people who don't. It seems to be to me that people who think he won are the fighters/coaches... I train at a few different gyms in the city and the consensus is the same. Look at the outbursts from the fighters out there disgusted by the decision. Even Roach himself told Manny he was loosing. The people who think he won are non - boxers, casual fans and well.. *******s. Anyone agree?
Anyone who is a BOXING fan, knows Manny lost that fight. *******s can say what they want, we SAW it with our own eyes.
Its mixed. I've spoken to different people and those who arnt just making noise seem to think its a draw
it was a close fight. being a fighter/ trainer doesnt make your opinion any more substantial when scoring fight. Do you know any boxing judges who are partime fighters? The actual people who make a livign scoring fights (i.e. judges) had pacquiao winning. Opinions are split between everybody. Let go of your bias and stop callling this thing robbery bc it isn't true.
People with neutral and respected opinions have all been saying Marquez won. Leave it to the *******s to think themselves more knowledgable than Pro Fighters and Trainers.
I think fighters and trainers should all fall in with the Judges/HBO/*******s and mimic Pac's way of winning fights by a flurry of glancing blows hitting air while getting countered all day. This seems to be the only way to win in their eyes. Oh yes and throw some "footwork" and hitting your own gloves in there to score some extra points.
What? Only coaches think he won? It seems to me that people in general think JMM won not just the coaches and trainers.
If you attach this thing to your thread, it would be very credible ----- I train in a gym........... I was a two time world champion in .............. I have a brittle hands from hitting the bag.............. I boxed as an amateur................. I sparred with ............ I live in the ghetto.............. .................. I am the president of ................. I am the neighbor of ................ I got hit repeatdly in the head during sparring that I dont know what the hell I am .................. My opinions are more important because I go to the gym and even if I actually am not good, the bottiom line is I go to the gym...... My name-dropping skills got better because..........
Fighters and trainers know exactly what to look for and see many aspects of the fight casual fans don't. So their opinion definately has more substance. Judges are "supposed" to be the "experts" but they are some of the most succeptable to corruption in the sport. We have seen countless judges rob many a fighter. Knowing that Arum is running the show is always an indicator that corruption is right around the corner.
I don't understand why people can't believe judges scoring in favor of a fighter if we see it happen all the time in Germany.
