Detailed Scorecard: 1. Pacquiao 2. Marquez 3. Pacquiao 4. Marquez 5. Marquez 6. Even round, but Pacquiao was closer to win this 7. Marquez 8. Marquez 9. Pacquiao 10. Marquez (close round) 11. Marquez 12. Pacquiao (very close round but Pac was the agressor) That makes it 116-113 or 115-113, JMM. If you give every close round to Pac, you could argue for a draw. No way Pacquiao won this fight.
I had a hard time believing those punch stats. Unless I was missing action as I was doing a mass rbr text for some friends. 114-114 would be doing manny a favor. I had it 115-113 JMM
Mine: Round 1: Pacquaio, nothing much, still feeling each other's reach. Round 2: Pacquiao, could've gone either way tho. Round 3: JMM Round 4: Pacquiao Round 5: JMM schools Pac Round 6: Epic punch by JMM sends Pac back, absolute schooling by JMM Round 7: Heavy counterpuching by JMM, could've gone either way Round 8: JMM Round 9: EPIC EPIC round. Reminiscent of their past two fights. Only time JMM looked overwhelmed. A close round, but Pacquiao clearly edged this one. Round 10: Pacquiao. JMM looking fatigued. Can't keep up with Pac's workrate. Ugly headbutt here. Round 11: Pacquiao's workrate has done it again. JMM, the fight is not yet over, WTF are you doing? Round 12: Pacquioo was the only person who landed the meaningful shot. JMM thought he was cruising to a victory. Final tally: 115-113, 7 rounds to 5. Pacquiao. Could be a draw if you give round 12 to JMM. Some thoughts: Nacho was spot on, Pac trying to be a technical boxer results to a predictable Pac, results to JMM getting the upper hand. If Pac fought more like he did in round 9, JMM would've gone down. It was very clear that JMM can't handle the intensity. You may not have noticed it, but Pac's footwork was splendid. Nothing ATG, but clearly splendid. Problem is, it doesn't work against JMM. Going all out and ballsy is the way to get rid of El Dinamita.
Same as this. Marquez took foot off the gas Pacquioa won rounds 1,3,4,9,10,11,12 Marquez won rounds 2,5,6,7,8 Pacquioa won 115-113
Marquez - Pacquiao 9-10 10-9 10-9 10-9 10-9 9-10 10-9 10-10 9-10 10-9 10-9 9-10 116-113 Marquez. Clearest and easiest fight in the trilogy to score.
MP - JMM 10-9 9-10 9-10 9-10 9-10 10-9 9-10 10-9 10-9 10-9 9-10 9-10 113-115 There were couple of really close rounds so I wouldn't cry robbery if someone scores the fight 114-114 or 115-113 but 116-112 for Manny is imo way too big margin.
Finally saw the fight after hearing that this was a robbery 1. Pacquiao 2. Marquez 3. Pacquiao 4. Marquez 5. Marquez 6. Pacquiao 7. Marquez 8. Marquez 9. Pacquiao 10. Marquez 11. Pacquiao 12. Pacquiao I had the bout even. nO way it was a robbery as Marquez only got 5 clear rounds and one is questionable, so the best he could ever do is to salvaged a draw.
