The winner, by political decision and still WBO welterweight champion of the world, Manny Pacquiao. I was surprised that one judge had it even, then stunned the other two had Pac as the winner. Robbery!
Don't actually think that's true Thriller, before this fight, nobody hated or disliked Pac except for hardcore Floyd fans. Now, after what most people see as a robbery, and then again what a lot of people see as his reluctance to make a Mayweather fight happen, he's beggining to take stick. I definitely wouldn't say he has a ton of haters, and definitely not more than the Pacquiao fan Floyd-hate brigade.
:deal First time 116-112 and after rewatching it giving everything i possibly could to Pac and still it was 115-113 JMM
I've scored it four times: 115-113 116-112 116-112 117-111 All for Marquez. It was a clear schooling. While I acknowledge some could be able to score the fight a draw, they would have to acknowledge their favoring of aggression, effective or not, over any other aspect of scoring such as clean effective punching, ring generalship, or defense.
exactly ive watched the fight pleanty of times and even watched it trying to be biased towards pacquiao. and i end up with marquez being the winner. im not even hating, it was a clear win for Marquez.
Watched it 3 times.. Had Marquez winning 8-4 twice, but the third time I felt a little bad for Pac so I gave him an extra round n made it 7-5 :good
I respect that many observers scored it for JMM, but this has to one of the most misunderstood fight in recent times. Talkning about ring generalship and good defence seems odd, considering how much and repeatedly Pac was able to punch him in the face.
Jmm can beat Pac then easy money for Floyd. No need to avoid Pac and 50/50. Easy money, he may not even get hit that much.
Hyperbolic reaction due to a huge underdog appearing to have been robbed. Same thing happened with Morales-Maidana. Maidana won that clear.
Who cares if Pac lost, hes lost a few times. What we want to see is Floyd make the fight happen with 50/50. Its that simple.
