JMM/Pacquiao III; 116-112 JMM Pacquiao/Bradley; 117-111 Pac So, my vote is for Pacquiao/Bradley. That said, Marquez won his rounds much more decisively than Pacquiao won his rounds (in both fights).
I do have to say that unlike most people, I thought Bradley clearly won the first 2 rounds decisively. I thought the third round was closer but still a round I'd expect most to score for Bradley as I did. I actually thought Manny got a lot better 4-10 until a slight fade in the final two rounds. 9-3 Pacquiao.
I think its quite similair, both fights are fights where 116-112/115-113 seem the most logical scores, I wish jmm had gotten his deserved W vs pac and pac his win vs bradley, it would be great for the upcoming fight and the most fair outcome, I view in certain situations you dont have to respect the scorecards, when its clear a guy won, like these 2 fights. Fights that are very close and hard to score, in those the judges card need to be respected.
I love how you mention Bradley's face showing no damage and yet fail to mention that Marquez's face looked worse than Manny's at the end of their fight. You can't use facial damage as an indicator of who won a fight in a situation where it doesn't favor a guy you hate, and then go ahead and not use the same logic in a situation where it goes against a guy you like. Epic Fail there son. :good I've rewatched Pacquiao-Marquez III a few times and scored it 7-5 for Marquez most recently. There were a lot of close rounds though. Pacquiao-Bradley I scored 9-2-1 the first time I watched it, though on subsequent rewatches I got nicer and gave Bradley round 2 to make it 9-3. I guess you must like scoring jabs that were short of the mark or hit Pacquiao's gloves. Pacquiao's not a great technician defensively, and Bradley's offense was still shockingly ineffective. Pacquiao had a little more trouble getting to him in the later rounds, but Bradley wasn't doing **** to actually win those rounds. He made Pacquiao look like a defensive counterpunching wizard at times. He won round 2 closely, 10 clearly, and 11 closely. He lost every other round. Pacquiao landed more blows, and the cleaner, harder ones. And I watch every boxing match with the volume turned off, so don't go and accuse me of being influenced by HBO, got it? And Pacquiao has shown zero interest in the rematch because Bradley makes no money. None. The guy can't even sell out a bingo hall. Marquez, however, is a draw himself. He will make Pacquiao more money. As for Bradley, he's been desperately begging for a rematch ever since their first fight. Why? Because the entire ****ing civilized world outside of people with an obvious agenda or bias knows he got son'd by a fading Manny. He wants another payday and another chance to try and win it in his own eyes. Even he knows he didn't win. Pacquiao's fighting Marquez again for the same reasons Bradley wanted to fight Pacquiao again; Because it's a lucrative option and because they don't feel they actually won/were disappointed in their performance.
Negative. Marquez-Pacquiao III was a lot closer. Bradley was comprehensively beaten, and if you weren't incredibly biased, you'd admit that. It's kind of pointless arguing with you though; you thought Mosley beat the **** out of Alvarez for ****'s sake :rofl:rofl:rofl
Marquez has a history of easily marking up and swelling. A lot of the damage done in the Pacquiao fight could easily have been caused by several single punches, or a few combinations. That's been common throughout his career. Ergo, his facial damage doesn't mean he was being hammered all night long, which he wasn't. He looked very swelled after Katsidis, despite dominating, for example. However, a complete lack of damage on Bradley.. and I mean, there wasn't a scratch, surely means he wasn't being hit as often as a lot of people seem to think he was. Logical, no? And that's the point. Watch the video I posted earlier. Bradley's head movement was genuinely incredible. Pacquiao missed an awful lot of shots. More than I've seen him miss in a long time. But because it's Pacquiao, popular and all speed/flash, people see what they want to see. I think Pacqiuao did enough to win, personally, but thems the breaks. It wasn't a robbery, nowhere close. JMM's performance against Pac was more dominant.

I picked Marquez vs Pacquiao by accident. I think Bradley vs Pacquiao was slightly closer. Marquez won easily by atleast 4 rounds.
Agreed. Pac had HBO cheerleading for him, and even then they couldn't sway the stupid majority that don't know what the **** they're looking at when two fighters are boxing. JMM came with a gameplan, it was to feint and draw Pac close, counter at openings, circle around the left, jab in, release 1-2 combo, circle to left, counter. Very masterful. Pac's gameplan was to throw punches like a dumb caveman and hope they land. :shock: He failed.
