This is exactly as I see it Watching these fights, not even going into the subject of knock downs, the only thing that always comes to mind is that Marquez just could not do enough, try as he did.
Yes, very subjective. Especially after that first fight where people had all kinds of range on their scorecards after that fight. Personally I had that first fight a draw at 8-3-1.... or something like that. That second fight was something different though as I remember the polls showing that the great majority had Marquez winning that one. Myself included at 7-5 for JMM.
I scored the first fight a draw and I had JMM winning the second 114-113. The first one had some rounds that were hard to score but I feel good about Marquez taking 7 rounds in the re-match.
