lol, he didn't hold back purposely. Marquez had him reluctant to throw. He showed great footwork moving away from Pac, never allowing him to get into any type of flow. He also countered accurately and with conviction which added to Pac's hesitation. Pac couldn't even get off at times he didn't know where to start. Marquez just has the style to give Pac fits and knows how to fight him having gone 24 rounds with him previously. If it was all part of the plan, it was a disasterous plan. Manny's stock has dropped from this fight, if anything Floyd will more likely use this fight as reason not to fight him and claim the mythical win. I don't think he'll be giving Pac any concessions to make the fight, more likely to demand more with the thinking he doesn't need Pac after Marquez beat him. Floyd can make almost as much money continuing to fight Golden Boy fighters for 90-10, 95-5 purse splits.
Exactly. Calling a close fight either way is understandable. Calling it a robbery just makes you look like a sore loser.
Decision? You are a moron. Pac eats lead rights all night. Head gut all day. Then has his left countered with left hooks. Pac stands no chance. His face will be shredded.
Disappointed. YES. Taking a second look at his recent opposition. YES. Embarassed? Why the hell? JMM, however, man I'm damn proud of how he performed.
Last 2 posts were about JMM holding back, not Manny. Now I can see the opposite view from mine, in that FLoyd could now merely say. "See Manny is nothing special--I would have beat him easily, so why bother." That does ring really hollow for many reasons. First one being the simple reply--"prove it." I for one do believe that FLoyd has been afraid to fight Manny and is likely to be less afrand now so...
Very well said. I hope you're wrong about that last part; I'm thinking/hoping FMJ will be emboldened now after seeing that potential, mid-to-high 8-figure check vanishing.
people expect pacquaio to win via KO over marquez that's why judges' decision have no appeal. Watch the replay to see that pacquaio had really won the fight. It was really a close fight. and trilogy is final. Pacman won!
atschatschatsch ****ing idiot gonza, how do you want the judges to score the fight in a round with limited activity on the part of jmm. did jmm dominate every ****ing round like say pac-clottey?:smoke you wan to give it to the backpedalling counterpunching challenger?????
