Yeah a few of these fans should watch Whitaker vs Chavez or Fenech vs Nelson1. There robberys these fights were great and me i have no problem with the judges i feel they had to make 2 really tough decisions in both fights and sometimes in fights that are that close they go your way or they dont. I agree VIP two future Hall of Famers that made me proud to call myself a boxing today.
it was not like dela Hoya against Sturm...:yep and yes it turned away fans. mostly mexies, i reckon. others can live with it.:good
4 times yes. 3 happened to take place in one round. That's just a very bad round. Doesn't mean a fighter should be discredited for it. He never lost the first fight. A novice to the boards not the sport. Stupid thing to say Oh and marquez was the champ!
Well I know a few people that won't watch boxing now. Maybe its the first instinct and they'll watch another big fight when it comes along They're casual not hardcore fans
You are an idiot. that was no where near a controversial decision. If you think it was you obviously haven't been watching boxing very long.
I just had it as a close but clear victory in favour of jmm, I thought you could clearly tell who won the round. 115-112 was a disgrace
Your an idiot what the Champ of a lousy alphabet belt against the Ring Champ. Marquez was the Champ was he you truely believe that. Ha. And yes getting knocked down 3 times in any fight is seen as very bad in the judges eyes let alone it all happening in 1 round. why should i or judges writers reward JMM for winning say 7 or 8 rounds in a fight were he was getting dominated in the 1st fight. Im sorry but the more and more i watched that fight the more i seen closer rounds than what other people had it. yeah Marquez won more rounds than Pacman but it wasnt convincing like fans on here would have you believe. Marquez hurt himself by not staying on his feet and getting caught. He cant blame the judges as you cant but you can blame JMM or his corner for not preparing properly.
My, my. You're awfully sour. You said that neutral fans would be turned off by the scoring, but in fact most of the posters here have expressed satisfaction with the decision, even if they didn't score the fight the same way. I'm one of those. The onus belongs to you to explain how you view the scoring as unfair. Of course, you can't do that, because you don't have the grounds to make a solid argument. Which was my point. Speak for yourself and back up your own opinion, rather than falsely insinuating that there's a consensus about unfair judging.
dip****, do you know what robbery is in boxing? refer to katsidis-casamayor, now that is robbery. I can't really bother to explain to every moron like you just refer to the other threads. The fight was ****in close had it 1 point for marquez, and could have gone either way but even though if i had marquez winning by a point or 2 and he lose it is not robbery, because it was close. Had pacquiao loss, there will be other numbnuts like you claiming that pacquiao should have won and was rob. The fight last night won't turn people away from boxing, perhaps it will turn ppl with your kind of logic away from boxing and i sure hope so
Oh, OK. You are correct that I misinferred, then. My bad. Perhaps I'm a touch frustrated by all the robbery nonsense nut). Fortunately, cooler heads seem to be filling the forum today, which typically is the case. I definitely agree that fans tuning in last night would be attracted to, rather than repelled from, the sport as a whole. Of course, the original post was another in a long line of emotional ones that lack a rational basis.
