Who thought Pac vs Marquez 3 was a close fight?

It really is hard to take anyone seriously who didn't think it was a close fight. Harder still for those who called it a robbery. But you get a sense who the more rational posters here are on ESB based on how they saw this fight.

 

It was a close fight, but one I had JMM winning clearly. While several of the rounds were very competitive, I still had JMM winning 7 or 8. There is such a thing as a close but clear decision, and people forget that.

 

+1 I feel the same way. Was it a robbery? NO. Was it a close fight? Yes. Did I have Marquez clearly winning? Yes. To me this is almost how alot of people (Mostly Floyd haters) had ODLH losing a SD to Floyd was absurd because oscar wasn't effective throughout the entire fight but when you look at it anytime he threw punches, whether they landed or not, the crowd just screamed

 

not really close.

Marquez clearly won

 

Says the impartial man with the Pacquiao avatar. :nut

It was at times competitive but overall Manny got taken to school.

was close. still amazed that a lot of people have JMM winning 10 or more rounds which shows what kind of trash is on these boards.

 

Close but clear, JMM.

 

Close but clear for Marquez

 

I had it 115-113 Marquez, but it wasn't that close. Marquez won all of his rounds big, and Pacquiao merely nicked his IMO.

 

you should make another public one then.

btw, i had it 7-5 pac. another close fight.

 

People throw out the word "robbery" too often and easily nowadays. A bad decision is a bad decision (Pac vs. JMM III) but a robbery is something else altogether (Lara vs. Williams).

I've disagreed with many decisions over the years. Sometimes I can see a fight going either way; this was not one of those times. It was a close fight, but JMM clearly won.
