I caught the replay of the Pac Man - Marquez fight and I was baffled as to how ALL 3 Judges scored round one for Pac Man:huh ???
There is no way how i saw JMM won that round. A counter right and one hard body shot was all i saw from JMM. I saw 2 hard straight lefts and a couple of body shots from Pacman.
Some gifs of round 1: You have to take audio into account on this one. This content is protected Another point. This content is protected Another point. This content is protected Another point.

There are several close rounds that can be argued intensely in what was an amazingly close fight. With that said, ROUND 1 WAS NOT ONE OF THEM!!! There's a reason why myself, Harold Lederman, all 3 judges, and the rest of planet earth scored round one for Manny Pacquiao. JMM landed BY FAR what was the most impressive single punch of the round. Not even close. BEST PUNCH of round 1 gets awarded to JMM by a landslide. For that I think he deserves a pat on the back and maybe a free T-shirt. But he doesn't get 10 points for that 1 punch. There are 9 rounds that we can discuss and view differently and I'll be willing to listen to your side of the argument. Rounds 1,3 & 4 are NOT DEBATABLE. Just as 6,8 & 12 can not be taken away from Marquez. ALL other rounds were pretty damn even.
