Roach's two major fighters lost their fights at the end of 2011

Khan lost a close decision that could have conceivably gone his way.
Manny won a close decision that could have conceivably gone the other way.

I find it absolutely hilarious that people are comparing Pacquiao vs. Marquez III with Williams vs. Lara. It's just a testament to the fact that most posters on ESB can't score worth a damn.

DeMarco vs. Linares - Linares was dominating until he got cut and couldn't see punches anymore and was stopped. Good stoppage, but he was way up. Not such a terrible loss.

Pacquiao vs. Marquez - Close fight, better work was done by Marquez, but he gave away too many rounds in the beginning and the end.

Peterson vs. Khan - Close fight with good adjustments from both fighters. In rounds, I had it 6-6, a draw. With the point deductions and the knockdowns, I had it 113-112 Peterson. Could have gone Khan's way, but didn't.

Not such a terrible year. His fighters fought well and lost to top quality opposition.

 

Maybe they would have done better if they only fought once against Ortiz.

 

Please, stop whining Pac did not lose to jmm. It is almost Christmas and still a sore loser like your boy pee drinker.:|

 

I saw it for Pac but it's not a shame to lose to a great fighter like JMM!

 

When did that happen? I saw a fight that could have went either way and the judges awarded the decision to Pacquiao. JMM lost the fight I thought :huh

Excellent post good sir :thumbsup. I agree with all points.

That's ridiculous, and secondly, for a guy with that kinda hand speed any loss is a terrible loss.

 

It happened the night Juan Manuel Marquez schooled the **** out of the jumping Gazelle Pacquiao.

8-4 being generous to Pac. JMM owned the ****, and *******s know it. The reason why the ******* population has depleted in recent weeks. :deal
