For all the talk of the 2 inexperience judges, the experienced judge was the only one that called it right. HBO's cheerleading in this fight was shameless. I had Pacquiao winning, but 11 rounds to 1 is a ridiculously wide margin.
I had pac one round up at the end of the 9th when setanta lost coverage, ****s if i didn't have a chipped cable box i'd give them an earful, so if he won the last 3 with a 10-8 thats a five point gap. 115-112 by one of the judges was about how i saw it
In the 11th round, MAB got deducted points for punching when the ref was breakint themup. 12th round, Pac won it. As far as the first 5 rounds, i had Pac winning 2 rounds while MAB 1. The other 2 rounds, hard to score, cango either way. In the whole 12 rounds, the most i can give MAB is 4 rounds. Pac threw and landed more punches than MAB and landed the harder punches.
haha, I laugh at some of the posting in this thread. I watched this fight on sopcast with commentary in a language that I do not speak and I also had it 118-109. I gave Barrera rounds 1 and 5 with Pacman sweeping the rest. Marco was badly out-landed by Pacman who was the effective aggressor throughout almost the entire fight. No controversy here, none.
it doesnt matter if he wasnt hrt you score the round by different things barrera was controlling the pace jabbing and making pacquiao miss and at times was countering well the whole judging etiquette is brought into question when people are bringing punchstats in to say who they think won barrera imo won at least 4 of the first 10 rounds but thats just my opinion when did i say i thought barrera won round 9 i said how people think pacquiao overally won 9 rounds is beyond me
I gave MAB 3 rounds, scored it 117-111. No way MAB won the 1st 5 rounds, you probably had very high expectations on Pac to give MAB the 1st 5 rounds. Just becasue he didn't KD him in those rounds doesn't mean he lost the round. atsch
Man why would u let mayweather win for runner, by the way it called being smart, u ever heard of outbox and not exchange, pac probblly did in, but the **** quailty i was watching it seem closer than 10-2..... which i found bull****, man how come judge can't just score how it is..
:huh barrera up until the tenth? i agree barrera won rounds, but it was a tie up until then. if you did'nt see the last 2 rounds, pac made barrera do a dance in the 11th. and mab had a point deducted for a blatant foul.
If it isn't that he's one dimensional, now he's bought someone off. It still is incredible how the haters out there will go through all the usual excuses just to discredit Pacquiao.
The scores were moronic and biased as all hell. 7-5 for Manny. Take away a point from that..Manny won... but damn Barrera needed a knockout to win with those kind of scores...Yeah and Peter ****ing won his fight. I had to say that again for the Wlad lovers and the Peter haters..Though Peter is not THAT skilled he is much improved and got heart and fought his way out of tough times knocked out...Always a win when you can outbox a guy after being down three times....Ask Marquez...
