I had Pacquiao slimly for both but neither result is that much of a shock. Results like them can always go either way, i think the fight gets over-analyzed
I had Marquez by a point, but it was close and could go either way, I think Pac will stop him in November should they fight ....
Both really had a close fight in their two encounters to decide the victor much more in the second it could gone either way. For me I think Marquez won the first while Pacquiao won the rematch. After their last meeting, I think we already know who has the advantage if they go for a third. Pacquiao mid round KO win. :good
Indeed, what makes the 1st round difficult to score is that Marquez clearly landed the best punch of the round, so it's easy to give that round to Marquez. But if you watch it again, I think Pac lands more punches, but they were real quick so not as noticeable as that 1 thudding shot Marquez landed. There was another round, 7 or 9 (I forget which( that was really hard to score too and could also make the difference. Outside of those 2 rounds, I think the rest are close but clear so the scores could really swing from one winning to the other. So for a fight that's either 5-7 (in favor of JMM) or 6-6 (2 of the most likely breakdowns), 2 really hard to score rounds can make the difference. In the end, even w/o the KD, 5-7 for Pac is a pretty close fight, no way was it the schooling some people say it was.
anyway i thought marquez won the second fight by a point, also the rounds he won they were almost clear while pacquiao's weren't.
I actually had more difficulties scoring their first fight then the second, it would be great if the rubbermatch would be such a awesome fight as well.
How can you take away the 3 KDs when they are integral part of the fight? KDs are given more weight in the scores if you don't know that yet.
I've watched both of their fights lots of times. The first one is brutal to score (I'm happy with a draw) the second one - not so much. 114-113 Marquez. 7 rounds to 5, close but clear.
