Thread: Marquez was ROBBED and it wasn't even close!

The previous two fights were at least relatively close because of the KD's, but this fight was so easy to score for Marquez. The rounds Marquez took were so easy to see and even in losing rounds he was still incredibly competitive.

I had Marquez winning 8-4. Not even close.

It was an outright robbery.

Thoughts?

I thought Marquez was robbed but a lot of the rounds were close. Have to rewatch it. Had marquez winning 7 rounds to 5. General clamor here in the Philippines is that marquez did indeed win the fight fwiw.

It was a close fight. But like u, I think JMM won. It was a lot of close rounds. Saying that, I can't be mad at the decision. Pacman was the aggressor.

JMM vs Bradley next!?!

9-3 Marquez. Worst robbery in the history of boxing

I like the idea of JMM vs Bradley. Think JMM would win given Bradley's come forward style. Still, a good fight. Definitely 100 times better than the bradley casa fight.

Marquez won, but I wouldn't call it a robbery. It was a fight that had several very close rounds.

Marquez should have won though.

This is beyond disgusting. im done

Anyway you look at it. Juan Juan, Juan one, Juan #1 Juan Won!

Anyone can be a boxing Judge if you can show them you will hold boxings future above any fighter.

Marquez was robbed. I don't say that for close fights but we had about 15 people in the house watching this one and only 1 person said it was close and that was said with a smile. Its way too telling when you consider that one judge gave Pac 8 of the first 11 rounds. Even if the judge wanted to favor Pac there wasn't even 8 rounds of the first 11 that could've have gone either way. That means you have to take some of Marquez's rounds and that is a robbery.

I was mortified on seeing Pac's name called, it was a sickening feeling. In close fights you kind of think 'fair enough someone had to take it', but this wasn't even close. Marquez was taking most of those early rounds at a canter. Manny just couldn't get off and looked stiff. He woke up a little down the stretch, but his own corner was telling him he needed to do more.

This is significantly worse than the decisions of the past two fights.

It was a good fight , but no doubt Marquez won that. Manny just couldn't get inside enough but that was due to Marquez' fantastic boxing ability. He put on a hell of a peformace tonight and should have got the nod.

I was watching the fight with people who don't even follow boxing properly and they knew Manny lost that fight.

Where does this fight go from here now?

Besides Mayweather is Legit 2nd best or argueably best fighter of this generation and gets hosed 3 fights in a row. My friend who isint a boxing fab was like WTF how could pac be the winner

BTW, I had to say this. I believe Ricky Hatton/British fans should never talk about robberies, that is all.

I had the same score. 7-5 at the WORST for Marquez.

Sadly, the writing was on the wall, all they kept talking about was the looming $100 million dollar fight between Pacquaio and Mayweather so there was no way Marquez was going to interfere with that.

The decision did not come as a shock to me, but it was a robbery just the same.

SCUMBAGS !

Close fights are not robberies. This was not even close.

Hatton/Collazo comes nowhere near.
