    "All of the Marquez fans claim he was robbed."

    Talk about an exaggeration. I, for one, recently said here that the fight was so tactical and uninspiring, it was largely a non-event that could have gone either way. Neither man performed like they could and John got the nod because he was fighting at home, which isn't right, but that's boxing. If that fight had been held in the states, Marquez would have got the nod, which wouldn't have been right either based on that performance.

    Given that Marquez was fighting outside of the States for the first time in 13 years, in a country so unknown to him as Indonesia, and it took those low blows to cushion the scoring for John, I think he did alright.

    Either way you have to give him credit for going all the way over there and taking it on in John's backyard. Wouldn't find too many other fighters willing to do that. And let's face it, no one's really claiming John is a better fighter than JMM, are they?

    I can merge in a brand new poll if you like.

    Add draw option, and made public? :think

    Scored it for John, but could have easily been a draw.

    Fine, MANY Marquez fans claim robbery. This fight was a big reason why boxing fans **** me off. Every close fight is a robbery. Not to mention, I can guarantee 75% of the people who claim robbery haven't even watched the fight.

    I like Marquez, but he doesn't help his cause when he and his camp ***** about decisions that don't go his way. Sure, I'd be upset going 0-2-1 in the first 3 Pacquiao fights, but it's every close fight he loses.

    Anyhow, I would like to see a rematch now even though it's unlikely.
