How are the WBO officials going to rescore the fight? In slow-motion and upset down while drinking Richards Wild Irish Rose? This is about as asinine as it gets.
You have people who still think Pacquiao lost to Bradley the first time when the WBO reviewed it and came back with the scores: 118-110, 117-111, 117-111, 116-112, 115-113. That's about as unanimous and clear as you can get. Not one judge thought the fight was even a draw, yet you had 2 judges score it for Bradley the first time. That's pretty obvious there is corruption.
Last saturday's scorecards were bad, but they weren't worst than the ones for Pacquiao-Marquez III. I wonder why they didn't ask to have to have those reviewed. What goes around comes around.
Boxrec has a ton of press scores and this was the result: None of the above scores for Marquez or the draws are from Mexican media/boxers. None of the above scores for Pacquiao or the draws are from Philippine media/boxers. Among the unofficial scorers above, 57 scored the bout for Marquez, 51 scored the bout for Pacquiao, and the remaining 36 scored the bout a draw. IMO, that fight was the definition of a toss up. As illustrated by the cards, there is a virtual split and many scored it 6-6. I think that fight was a situation where Marquez won the "fight" but there is an argument he lost or drew the "boxing match". That is a tough fight to score for me personally.
I hate it when people say 'Marquez definitely beat Pacquiao the third time', such BS from Juantards and *****s. That stat is as even as it gets when there's almost 140 scorecards.
That's just how it goes with fanboys. Almost as bad as the "well Marquez arguably beat Pacquiao all 3 times". Ok.....he didn't though. The only definitive fight of those 3 was the first one, IMO. I thought Pac deserved that decision opposed to a draw where there was an admitted scoring error. So that's an extra loss for Marquez if we want to play that game. The 2nd and 3rd fights could have gone either way but they didn't. Those two match up great.
Because this fight had 50,000 people in attendance and millions watched it in the US and world wide even more. It featured an ATG and it made the news. A bunch of no name(to the general public) robberies nobody gives a **** about. It's not hard to figure out. Not to mention when they go back and rescore it a win for pacquaio it will hype up the rematch more.
It's all win, win, win. The WBO re-scores it (I reckon they'll come out with a draw), everyone goes nuts afterwards, the fight stays in the public consciousness and demand for a re-match reaches a crescendo.
