Marquez-gate?

So since last nights great fight, (the best I've seen in a while) lots of people are talking about you know what. :scaredas:

I posted this yesterday before the fight: "But what I will add finally, is that I dont think it will be over when the final bell rings. I really dont. I smell something fishy, but this time, it will be in Marquez's corner. :shock:"

Is it just a case that sport/boxing has become like this and nobody can be trusted, is it just paranoia? It seems that whenever something shocking happens, there is some other reason for it, rather than it just being naturally shocking.

We all know Pacquiao was accused for years when he was at his peak, but for the last few poor performances, those accusations have gone very quiet.

So my question to you, is Marquez on it or not? And if you think so, why do you think that, what have you seen during the fight or before the fight that makes you think that?

Or do you think it was just purely boxing and a great punch, with no cheating involved?

 

I appreciate that, but I've never posted in general, because it seems more like a cesspit than the British forum.

I know there are some intelligent posters on the Brit forum, of which there are few, but I'm genuinely interested in what people think on this debate. A lot of people are talking about it, and I smelt fishiness before the fight.

Personally, I just think Marquez put the work in and came into the fight in the best shape, the fact Pacquiao didnt put the same level of work in, meant the devastating fashion the fight ended in, made it almost surreal and unbelievable yes, but was it really a surprise when you see Marquez's dedication and hard work in camp?

Dont forget, Manny put Marquez on his ass and in trouble a few times.

 

I'm not saying it though mate, but others are, and its these I want to hear from and why they think so. :good

I dont think either fighter was at anything. :good

 

Never put down Pacquaio before has he?

Dunno man, it could be a mixture of a few things, better technique, better upper body power, better timing....you can improve these things if you work hard enough, and Marquez worked hard before the fight. Harder than Pacquiao, and for longer than Pacquiao.

But on the other hand, Pacquiao was more careless and too excited. Plus add to the fact, Pacquiao's prep was rubbish compared to Marquez's.

I can see where people are coming from, because weve been scarred before, but I think last night was as good as it gets, and I dont think there was any BS going on. :good
