    I just closely rewatched the second Pacquiao vs Marquez fight and I don't see why people think Marquez won. I scored the fight with the mindset of being generous to Marquez, and my scorecard was:

    Round 1: Pacquiao 10, Marquez 9
    Round 2: Pacquiao 9, Marquez 10
    Round 3: Pacquiao 10, Marquez 8 (knockdown)
    Round 4: Pacquiao 10, Marquez 9
    Round 5: Pacquiao 9, Marquez 10
    Round 6: Pacquiao 9, Marquez 10
    Round 7: Pacquiao 10, Marquez 9
    Round 8: Pacquaio 9, Marquez 10
    Round 9: Pacquiao 10, Marquez 9
    Round 10: Pacquiao 10, Marquez 9
    Round 11: Pacquiao 9, Marquez 10
    Round 12: Pacquiao 9, Marquez 10

    Final score: Pacquiao 114, Marquez 113

    The rounds I gave to Pacquiao were backed up by compubox numbers given by the commentators. The difference in the fight was the knockdown in round 3. And although the fight was close, Pacquiao clearly won by 1 point.

    I scored it 114-113 for Marquez. I've watched the fight several times and I always score it the same way.

    No he did NOT... here is my non-biased scorecard:

    1. Pac 10-9
    2. JMM 10-9 (clearly)
    3. Pac 10-8 (clearly)
    4. Pac 10-9 (clearly)
    5. JMM 10-9 (clearly)
    6. JMM 10-9 (Clearly)
    7. JMM 10-9 (Clearly) *
    8. JMM 10-9 (Clearly)
    9 Pac 10-9 **
    10. Pac 10-9 (Clearly)
    11. JMM 10-9 (Clearly) ***
    12. JMM 10-9 (Clearly)

    FINAL: 114-113 for JMM.

    * This is a easy round to score but people might not see it that well, before the Marquez cut JMM was winning the round with ease, after the cut Pac makes a comeback and he might be winning the round by a bit but after 2 or 3 seconds he tries to keep going against jmm and he gets countered hard, so the round goes to jmm by a bit, until here to the end of the round jmm keeps winning the round making it clear...

    ** Difficult round to score but I would give it to pac, Pac starts winning the round good, then jmm makes a comeback and he might tie the round but after 2 seconds pac connects a hard straight left going the round for pac, then in the last 30 secs marquez makes a comeback again and he might tie the round again but in the last second pac connects a hard straight left to win the round...

    *** This might be difficult to score for some people because pac finish the round with a nice right hook but if you separate the round in parts you can see it wasnt enough clearly those last 5 seconds for pac...

    A very close fight but if you watch it well the rounds were not difficult to score, this was a close fight with clear rounds for each fighter going the fight for jmm...

    Pretty good analysis, hard to argue with your viewpoint here.

    I wish I could agree, as this fight cost me money, but I wasn't disappointed when they gave the nod to manny.

    it was a close fight that could have been scored either way. I also scored it exactly the way you did.

    Marquez is a stylistic nightmare for Pac and a great fighter himself but he still can't manage to beat him, because Pac is just a once in a generation fighter. That's not hating on Marquez whom like I said is a amazing fighter. He was at his absolute apex in that second fight.

    That's almost a contradiction in itself.

    I think round 7 was close, but Pacquiao looked more aggressive and landed the more punishing shots for me.

    Winning by 1 point is close but it can still be clear if you look at each round carefully.

    Pac won that fight clearly ... I watched it over too and Pac increased his workrate down the stretch to get that victory. Marquez stopped going to the body and he stopped throwing that uppercut.

    I think most people have it 1 point for Marquez.

    Even Roach said that both Marquez fights could have gone either way.
