Ring Magazine editor talks about the Marquez bros and had JMM on pts.

I liked the article.

What I really liked is the ratings are updated and JMM is still the number 1 jr lightweight and he is still #3 pfp.

Exactly the way everything was before the fight, of course Pac is now the Champ at jr light whereas he was the #1 contender to JMM's #2 contender spot before they decided who is the Champ.

These guys just cant be separated in the rankings and neither should Rafa and Izzy, althought they are.

I guess Izzy is slightly stronger than Rafa in the end.

 

cool article.

it could have gone either way so you cant complain about such a close fight that much, its very difficult to judge fights

 

thanks for posting this hopefully some of the more rabid JMM fans will see this post.

 

Why stop there?? Why not add a couple more that would put JMM in the lead??? I could name 8 more people and/or websites that Had Jmm winning the fight.

 

you're missing the point. this is not a poll, man. i just posted some of these scores to reflect the very very close nature of this fight. as you could see, the press row scores are all over the place, going either way. so, nobody can claim that a certain fighter clearly won. it was therefore up to the official judges to render a final decision on this fight and they saw it fit to give the W to pac via very close SD.

 

I dont buy it, had that been the case then you would have stopped with it being even. No you did that on purpose.

I dont think that many would say that the fight wasnt close. However you do have some on both sides that claim both guys won easy. I would say that JMM won easy, but he won the fight. I have no doubt about it in my mind.

 

man, this is already paranoia on your part. i think you're already taking this too far. :-(

in your mind, jmm won. to others, pac won. but still in the end, what really mattered was the final decision of official judges to give pac the very close SD win. were they justified in making that decision? (115-112 jmm, 115-112 pac, 114-113 pac) going by this sampling of press row scores, i would have to say yes.

 

Do it then. I'd like t see the full list of ring side reports

 

hoya owns the ring mag so what yall expect they was going to give the fight 2?

 

So what.??Notice all teh guys for PAc are pinoys
