Who won which rounds -- check here

I had Marquez winning 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12.

I thought 'this is going to be a long night for Pac'......and then JMM got dropped, after giving Pac the 4th and regrouping, I thought he controlled the fight pretty comfortably from the 5th round onwards.

 

KD was in 3..

Edit: already been mentioned, sorry.

 

pac almost going down on the 12th??!! what damn fight were you watching? jmm was the one going down on the 3rd and was in ***** street 2-3x more. pac was just off-balanced when jmm caught him with some counter shots but was never in danger of going down anytime in the fight. pac has a very good chin and sturdy legs which helps him absorb jmm's punches. the same though can't be said about jmm.

 

Those were the three crucial rounds. Somehow, though, you gave Manny a round that I marked as a clear one for JMM.

I had Marquez winning the 1st and 7th, and Pacquiao the 11th, for a 114-113 score in favor of JMM.

What rounds did you give Pacquiao?

 

hmm... i gave marquez the 7th and pac, 1 and 11. 114-113 pac. but these were all very close rounds which could've gone either way. so, it could also easily have been 114-113 jmm.

the possible scores here were therefore 114-113 or 115-112 either way. these were actually the final scores given by the judges in this very close fight. so, it seems that all the judge's scores (115-112 jmm, 115-112 pac, 114-113 pac) were plausible.

 

Marquez
1,2,5,6,7,8,11,12

Pac
3,4,9,10

 

wow. you gave all the very close rounds (1, 7 and 11) to jmm... so, i guess for you it was 115-112 jmm.

 

I felt that JMM was clearely more effective than Pac in those rounds. They were a few of the "closer" rounds, but I thought that Marquez won them. Close doesn't mean always mean that they could have been scored either way. You have to stretch to give Pac those rounds based on a couple punches. People just have this notion that Pac's landed punches are worth so much more than JMM's. JMM would be going body head, all round, jabbing, landing straight rights, hooks, ect... and Pac gets a couple clean punches through, the crowd erupts expecting something to happen... nothing does... and people forget what Marquez has already done in the round.

 

yep. i agree. it's all about perception.

 

Pac: 1,3,4,9,10,11
Marq:2,5,6,7,8,12

The difference was the knockdown. No way either guy "clearly" beat the other.

 

Pacquia - 1,3,4,9,10
JMM - 2,5,6,8,11,12
Rnd 7 10-10

Rounds 1 and 7 were very close. 1 could have been 10-10 and 7 could have went either way.

I felt Marquez needed to win 11 and 12 to salvage a draw and IMO he did
