Pacquiao/Marquez : Close fight no robbery!

I am a massive Pacquiao fan, and desperately wanted him to win. I've watched it twice and scored it 116-112 both times to Marquez. How anyone can give PAC more than 5 rounds is beyond me.

Manny knew he lost the fight, just look at his reaction when te scores are read out.

It was disgraceful judging IMO. Pac-Mayweather will be made now so can be viewed as a good thing, but Marquez was jibed last night.

 

Yes it was! 115-113 i scored it and that was being generous to Pac.

 

Horrible judging.

 

Had it 115-113 Pac.There were a lot of close rounds so a Marquez win or a draw is fine with me.

 

I just can't give Pacquiao rounds for throwing shots that don't land and getting countered in the process. The second fight was closer than that

 

BOOM!

Too right mate......Fights will be getting scored by what the fighters were thinking next!

 

I suppose you score a fight depndent on your prefernces...if you appreciate someone bouncing around like Tigger, jumping in with shots and missing and the getting countered with hard combinations then you will obviously score the fight to Pac...otherwise there was only one winner, deep down everyone knows who that was or at least should have been.

 

Same here think i must have watched a diffrerent fight

 

If Pac nicked it on the cards I don't think there would be such an outrage. But 116-112 in his favour is beyond pathetic IMO. I'm not a boxing judge, but I know that fights are scored on effective aggression.

Like I said, I'm a massive Pacquiao fan, I really am, but he lost last night. For me, the punch stats are irrelevant as this isn't Amateur boxing. Just look at Manny's face at the end of the fight. He knew he lost

 

Disagree. Using the scoring criteria, I can't see a case for giving Pacquiao more than a couple.

Ring generalship: Marquez always had the outside foot and controlled range by backing up.
Clean punching: Marquez in every round.
Defense: Marquez was pivoting, slipping and parrying, Pacquiao wasn't even moving his head.
Effective aggression: I can see people thinking Pacquiao won by this simply because he was walking forwards. Marquez was initiating the exchanges.

 

It was not close at all. I'm not going to go thorugh the scoring as there's already plenty of stuff there to make your own mind up.

What I want to highlight is what the respective team thought. And we all know how bias Roach can be as all trainers are exoected to be. Pacquiao's team knew it wasn't close. After the first two fights, everyone remembers both JMM and PAC raise their hands, both think they done enough to win. But the third fight, what happens at the end.....

JMM is raises his hands, pacquiao walks back to his corner and starts crying with bouyboi Fernandez and kneels and crys/prays in his corner without even raising his hands yet to his fans. Is the reaction of a winner, someone who beleives he has won. Look at roach and big mouth ariza, all subdued. They all know the score.

If it was close they wouldn't be subdued. Calzaghe v Hopkins was close, both teams were nervous but thought they did enough to win. In last nights fight one team knew they won while the other knew their fighter hadn't... Well until uncle bob got his greasy fingers involved... Even a bias commentator like khan had JMM up and was talking as if it was a given that he had one straight after the final bell. If it was close he wouldn't be talking like that.
