it was very obvious won the fight.marquez may have a number of clean shots but didnt have enough power to convince the judges while manny on the other hand had knocked him out in round 3 and had a lot of meaninful punches that impressed the judges.i personally think that it would be unreasonable if the judges gave it to marquez.the judges made a rational decision..sori marquez you were the loser in the fight..

it was close. Had Marquez won, it would be an unconvincing victory for him. lazarus's last blog post..HTTP 404

Am happy that manny won that fight, but am not really satisfied with the decision… but the judges have spoken… and they are the expert on that field…

Am hoping to see the part 3 of this installment…

i think manny is a real great boxer, it’s just marquez is as great as he is. marquez proved his worth in this fight but he must be man enough to accept defeat. if i would scale-rate the fighters performance (1-10) pacquiao 9, marquez 8.

I think the judges are blind, Sonnie was almost right, but as for me, Pacquiao should have lost by unanimous decision, in scoring, there is no power punch, even if you knocked down an opponent, you can only lead by as much as 3 points that is 10-7, but still marquez had many clean shots that springs pacquiao’s head in all angles of the ring. Even though marquez punch is not as powerful as pacquiao’s , still the count difference in clean shots is very far… Roach should have told pacquiao in the last rounds that marquez is leading in scorecards, and the last chance is to knock him out. And also, the Filipino announcers stinks, they don’t judge immediately based on their opinion, unlike in other fights.

My goodness…already with the anti Pac-Man sentiment. Pac was better than he was in the first fight by far. He has developed way past the left hand and a prayer style he once was known for. Did you watch the fight? He had Marquez hurt on more than 4 occasions and solidly floored his ass once. Marquez fought valiantly but lacked the pop in his punches to stop or dissuade Manny from continuing the barrages. For people to say “oh he was robbed” meaning Marquez is just ludicrous and shows a real lack of balls. I understand if you lost your old ladies egg money or something , but damn give pac the credit due..he came, he fought his ass off against a bad ass Mexican and he won…that plane, that simple. Don’t shame that fight by coming up with he got robbed BS. Grow up and just deal with it. I am a fan of both fighters and IMHO both are top notch and neither lost a damn thing..both were better..and JMM is still a champ in my eyes..don’t belittle his effort by saying he was robbed. That’s a punk ass way.

Marquez hit Manny with more blows, but Manny’s blows were heavier. Could have gone either way. Manny should see this as a wake-up call & eliminate all the distractions to his fight career.

Boxing is one of the sports that requires a judge decision. I understand your reaction as everyone capable of judging may have other views than those who were there. Judging is basically giving an opinion - an expert opinion. How ever faulty the judges' opinion are, there is nothing more we can do. Wangbu's last blog post..Quizzical Quasi-Quotation

in my own scoring, i think marquez won narrowly. i think its 114-113 for marquez. i’m a filipino and i’m more in favor of pacquiao’s power and speed… but i was disappointed coz i didn’t see the speed i was expecting from pacman. what can i say? marquez is really a smart fighter. pacquiao should also add upper cut on his moves. coz i think he could have knocked out marquez on some moves if he had the upper cut arsenal. although i agree on manny moving to lightweight division, i think the only thing marquez have to do is move up to lightweight as well and try to seek for a rematch on that division w/ pacquiao, and prove himself better, CONVINCINGLY.
roach was right when he said, “Manny was better on training than on the fight itself!”
if i’m roach, i’d be disappointed as well despite the victory.
