Anybody think Pac has lost 5 fights and JMM has only lost 1??

Anyway I always thought it was funny that the judges from the first fight thought Marquez won the second fight and vice versa. Just amusing that's all. MARQUEZ all the way.

First fight definitely, second fight they landed pretty much evenly, and though Marquez was a little bit better with technique and timing, Pacquiao evened it up with his physical gifts. I don't think anyone would argue that either guy could not win on any given night, I just say that in that fight that happened Pacquiao clearly won more fights.

I remember when JC Chavez faced Whitaker. Even Mexican newspapers, sports channels, sports magazines, etc. In Mexico and in the USA questioned JC Chavez draw. I would never imagine Filipino press or boxing enthusiasts questioning Pac.
I'll say that the KO on the 2nd fight helped Pac a lot to get a decision even if JMM won most rounds. The KO can cause a big impact in anybody's eyes.

I don't understand why we latins/hispanics are called "Spanish" many times, is it because of the language we speak that people get confused with us being Spaniards or something? It would be like people calling Australians and Americans, English, or calling all Asians, Chinese. Don't you think? :)

Because half of the people in latin america have spanish decent, if you look back to Spain coming over, only a very slight part of the mexican people are still fully Aztec or Mayan. I didn't mean for this to be a racist thing, I just saw prodominantly spanish people toute Marquez won, I guess I was wrong.

ICB, which rounds did you give to Marquez exactly?

All these people had JMM winning i'd say more people think JMM won there 2nd fight, than more people think Manny Pacquiao won the 2nd fight. And by the way i had JMM winning both Manny Pacquiao fights and the Chris John fight with ease, and im certainly not Spanish/Mexican.

Are these valid? Like is this from a real article? Either way anybody, who had Marquez up by more than one point is clearly delusional because thats the only way I give people the slightest reasoning for having him up in the fight, there is no way he was up two or three rounds when the knockdown is taken into consideration. Once again, what rounds did they give to Marquez? I guarantee if I sat down a watched the fight through with anyone I could convince them that two rounds people always seem to give Marquez (1 and 11) clearly didn't belong to him.

What it shows is it just ain't hispanics that had him winning

yup gotta go with Taeth on this one, i get what he's trying to say on the bold bit is that most of the population in what are now latin american countries are spanish influenced due to the conquistador's and such, Puerto Rico in specific derives mainly of 3 cultures, Taino, African, and Spanish, and Mexico can't forget that most of the original Aztec or Mayan people were whiped out by illness, mainly the small pox, same as the Taino's here in PR, and well like in pretty much every country in the world, there is no such thing as a PURE race, but yea i disagree with the mainly latinos believing Marquez won bit, that's like saying mainly only Filipino's believe that Pacquiao won, i think there is a good mix of nationalities that believe Marquez won

Mayweather is black. Brian Kenny is white. Both had Marquez winning

the first fight i think marquez rallied enough to edge pacquiao, although you could argue pac should've won if there wasn't any error in one of the judges' scoring. the 2nd fight i thought jmm won a close one but upon replaying the fights several times and scoring round by round it always came up pac finishing up 1 pt. ahead for me with the kd making the difference. honestly, i think it would have been more controversial had the judges ruled both fights for jmm having been down 4 times in 24 rounds.

I personally consider the whiter latinos as white people, I always have Marquez, Wilfredo Gomez, Barrera, Morrales, etc. Obviously guys like Trinidad and Cotto aren't white, but they are milato or however you spell it with a large african orientation. There is no secret then when 90% of the aztecs were whiped out through slave labour and disease that the spaniards brought up African slaves.

Nonito had JMM winning and he is Filipino !!! (after the fight interview)

I had the first a draw and the second to Marquez. Unfortunately for Marquez, if you take away the knockdowns he would have won both decisively imo. I scored the Marquez John fight a draw also. I didnt see that as the robbery that many people did, but I didnt think John did enough to win either.

Because half of the people in latin america have spanish decent ? Are you kidding me !!!!! Are any of you aware of the large number of Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, German, Lebanese and Jewish people in Latin America...... Then Filipinos are also Spanish or one could argue Chinese base on their cultural influence. Seems the majority of the people in here are unable to distinguish the difference between race and ethnicity.

Race is something you're born with an ethnicity is what your culture is. Like your race could be Chinese and your ethnicity could be American if you were born in America.

So how are Mexicans Spanish?

Let me educate you:

Mexican! Not Latino, Latinos are the white people of Latin America.
........... Not Hispanic, Hispanics are the people of Spain, European.

Mexicans are indigenous people! They are not white! So do not promote the cultural castration the their people!


To people of the USA, they are not foreigners to the land.


Mexican people of today are primarily a mixed blood and / or full blooded Indigenous people.

92% of the the so called Hispanics in Atzlan (the Southwestern USA) are people of Mexican descent. Not foreigners or minorities as generally labeled. They are also 71% of the so-called Hispanics/Latinos in the USA as a whole. So how wrong are you to call anyone in Latin America Spanish ? I say educate yourself before you make comments you know very little of and we are to believe you know anything about boxing?

Anyone of any color born in Mexico is viewed as a Mexican, ( This applies to most countries in Latin America) they are not race grouping individuals like people of the USA and their forefathers from Europe!

Taeth,

You clearly have no shame.
Cause if you had the slightest you would have responded by saying you were wrong in your 1st comment.
But I should have known that you wouldn't.
You just got your ass handed to you by ICB and your response is.
Are these valid?

Either way.... blah! blah!

Trying to discredit the list of scores. ;D

Here's a list of people who scored the PAC vs. JMM fights that matter most (I'm not sure about the race/nationality of these persons):

John Stewart 115-110 for PAC
Burt Clements 113-113 Draw (Note: Clements doesn't know how to score a 3 KD round)
Guy Jutras 110-115 for JMM
Duane Ford 115-112 for PAC
Jerry Roth 112-115 for JMM
Tom Miller 114-113 for PAC

3 persons scored it for PAC, 2 persons for JMM and with 1 person scoring it even...;D

Study anthropology, you can't educate me on this. There are virtually no true north american natives left in mexico except in secluded groups. The indeginous population was almost totally eradicated in mexico and the carribean islands. I've taken up to 400 level meso-american anthropology courses.

As for the culture, there is no north american culture that has been more assimilated by European people than the Mexican culture. Their religion is European, they beliefs are European. Once again out of all the partially aboriginal people, how many still believe in the Aztec gods? Many have reclaimed their culture for financial purposes, but still the majority of mexicans are christians who abide by the bibles' laws.

I am not trying to say Mexican haven't developed their own culture, but its more tied into their spanish ancestry than it is into their Mayan or Aztec ancesty.

I discredit people just blurting out scores, Give me a round by round disclosure, and I will debate those rounds with people. If you are so sure a guy won a round, why are people so hesitant to go punch by punch through a round? I realize my spanish comment was misunderstood as racist because some uneducated people have been falsely taught what has actually transpired over the last 400 years, but nevertheless if I want to see where a list came from, or why these guys picked the fight the way they did, why should I be discredited for it. I am not one of those guys who follows "expert opinions" blindly. Half the people who cover boxing know shit all about the sport because they've actually wanted to cover other sports, but have been stuck with boxing.

i had marquez taking the 1st fight 113-112 and the second 114-113

to have a loss and a draw to his name after winning 2 fights is rather sad if you ask me as i still to this day believe marquez is the better all round fighter out of he and pac.

The judge that scored the 1st round of the 1st fight 10-6 needs shooting. Whether there are 2 knockdowns or 8 knockdowns in a round you cannot score it any lower than 10-7 as the remainder of the fight would become completely obsolete.

Mayweather will out manouvere marq and take a points win and will go on to stop pacquiao late on.

So because you've taken courses on it you know more about Mexico than Mexicans? WTF are you talking about anyway, you start off by making a statement that implies you discount anyones score because of their heritage. This further implies that an entire culture of people are unable to objectively score a fight. You further go on to say, it is impossible to go against your scoring beacause only your score is right. Would you deny there were enough swing rounds to give both fights to either fighter?

These 2 fights are a bit hard to score, per moment. Personally, I would say a fight for Marquez and the other one for PAcman but both were very tight fights and some rounds are absolutely hell to judge, really. No matter who really won what, these were 2 extremely competitive bouts and there would be space for another one while JMM isn't too old. 2010? LEt's hope for it:)

Both fights were disputable. Both fights could have gone either way. JMM is a beast and so is Manny.

I am a huge fan of both of them. My scores of the fight do not exactly match the official scores, but I'll be dammed if I will argue with them. Too close to call and it is purely subjective.

What I do know is that they are so evenly matched, that both of them have the ability to bring out the best and worst in each other.

Whew! This post sure went into some dangerous territory. I think people know that either way on either fight that there were so many close rounds that a decision favoring JMM would have caused just as much controversy. Anyone who says that JMM couldn't have been the victor in either fight is in denial. You can not discount people's opinions in a close fight because we all see and favor different things. I personally thought JMM won both fights and I am black. Race has nothing to do with who thought JMM won. I have no problem with Pac being the winner in the 2nd fight because it was close. I actually think he won the 2nd clearer and the 1st was cloudy. But there were no robberies. And it is impossible to score rounds punch by punch because the round has to be judged as a whole. Every punch is different, how they land, effectiveness, etc. They are not field goals. This is not the amateur system. There would be too many variables and even more opinions mixed in. Yes, JMM could be without those blemishes on his record but this is boxing and wins and losses decisions are made on 3 people's opinions...although sometimes shady.

Actually, JMM could be undefeated without that DQ. When he lost to Freddie Norwood he definitely was had. I thought that was a very poor decision. In my opinion, it is his most suspicious loss. If I remember correctly, even a commentator made a statement about how he thought JMM won that fight. I know all of my guys thought he won and we were pushing for Norwood because we bought into the Freddie Norwood hype at the time.

Round by round scores have been posted a bunch of times. You just chose to ignore them

Heres my scorecard Taeth from ages ago.

1 Marquez
2 Marquez
3 Pacquiao 10-8
4 Pacquiao
5 Marquez
6 Marquez
7 Pacquiao
8 Marquez
9 Pacquiao
10 Pacquiao
11 Marquez
12 Marquez

114-113 JMM

I think the 8th round was borderline 10-8 round for JMM aswell.

And lastly that post i made with all the score's was just to prove your point wrong, about the Mexican/Spanish comment.

Why did you score round 1 for Marquez he landed one good right cross? Where as Pacquiao landed a good cross, and several to the body.

Also the 11th round, Manny outlanded Marquez, he inflicted more damage, he was backing MArquez up, Marquez landed a few punches but Manny had excellent defense in parts making Marquez miss combinations.

Trying to discredit the list of scores. ;D

---

I discredit people just blurting out scores, Give me a round by round disclosure, and I will debate those rounds with people. If you are so sure a guy won a round, why are people so hesitant to go punch by punch through a round? I realize my spanish comment was misunderstood as racist because some uneducated people have been falsely taught what has actually transpired over the last 400 years, but nevertheless if I want to see where a list came from, or why these guys picked the fight the way they did, why should I be discredited for it. I am not one of those guys who follows "expert opinions" blindly. Half the people who cover boxing know shit all about the sport because they've actually wanted to cover other sports, but have been stuck with boxing.

---

Round by round scores have been posted a bunch of times. You just chose to ignore them

---

No I have always argued rounds 1 and 11, and people don't have a good excuse for giving them to Marquez.

Seems the majority of the people in here are unable to distinguish the difference between race and ethnicity.

Race is something you're born with an ethnicity is what your culture is. Like your race could be Chinese and your ethnicity could be American if you were born in America.

So how are Mexicans Spanish?

Let me educate you:

Mexican! Not Latino, Latinos are the white people of Latin America.
........... Not Hispanic, Hispanics are the people of Spain, European.

Mexicans are indigenous people! They are not white! So do not promote the cultural castration the their people!


To people of the USA, they are not foreigners to the land.


Mexican people of today are primarily a mixed blood and / or full blooded Indigenous people.

92% of the the so called Hispanics in Atzlan (the Southwestern USA) are people of Mexican descent. Not foreigners or minorities as generally labeled. They are also 71% of the so-called Hispanics/Latinos in the USA as a whole. So how wrong are you to call anyone in Latin America Spanish ? I say educate yourself before you make comments you know very little of and we are to believe you know anything about boxing?

Anyone of any color born in Mexico is viewed as a Mexican, ( This applies to most countries in Latin America) they are not race grouping individuals like people of the USA and their forefathers from Europe!

Study anthropology, you can't educate me on this. There are virtually no true north american natives left in mexico except in secluded groups. The indeginous population was almost totally eradicated in mexico and the carribean islands. I've taken up to 400 level meso-american anthropology courses.

As for the culture, there is no north american culture that has been more assimilated by European people than the Mexican culture. Their religion is European, they beliefs are European. Once again out of all the partially aboriginal people, how many still believe in the Aztec gods? Many have reclaimed their culture for financial purposes, but still the majority of mexicans are christians who abide by the bibles' laws.

I am not trying to say Mexican haven't developed their own culture, but its more tied into their spanish ancestry than it is into their Mayan or Aztec ancesty.

---

So because you've taken courses on it you know more about Mexico than Mexicans? WTF are you talking about anyway, you start off by making a statement that implies you discount anyones score because of their heritage. This further implies that an entire culture of people are unable to objectively score a fight. You further go on to say, it is impossible to go against your scoring beacause only your score is right. Would you deny there were enough swing rounds to give both fights to either fighter?

---

I know more about Mexicans than people that haven't studied it at all, and listen to folk tales from their parents. Who would know more about the history of Canada, me or somebody from Mexico who studied Canadian History? Obviously they would. I deny 115-112 for Marquez absolutely. I also deny that there were enough swing rounds in this fight, I think each round decisively indicated who won in this fight even though there were close rounds on both sides. Round 1 Pacquiao doubled the punches landed by Marquez, and sure Marquez had the one hardest punch, Pacquiao landed a punch almost as cleanly in return, plus multiple crosses to the body. The eleventh round was one of Pacquiao stronger rounds and people somehow give it to Marquez. And I've already stated that I was wrong stating what I did about only Mexican's thinking Marquez won, I was being brash and most people that did support Marquez winning had been Mexican. IMO its like saying most people that thought Calzaghe won against Hopkins are brits, is that such a racial travesty? Obviously I am overgeneralizing, but does not everyone do it on here? I say my scoring is right because I don't think anyone watches and rewatches fights as much as I do on here(except ICB). Also its not about I am only right, I am having a real debate where you are free to disprove through fact or evidence what I am saying. People on here seem to think I just say your stupid, I am right, your wrong. Thats not what I am doing, I debate these things and obviously in presenting an arguement you believe in, unless its educational, its beneficial to fully emerse yourself into your beliefs. If people actually broke down the fight, or more importantly key round in such a way that came across convincingly I would understand their logic. When people give Marquez 115-112 scorecard, where the fuck did that come from? How the hell did he win 4 more rounds than Pacquiao? This fight was like Hatton-Collazo it was a back and forth affair, not close every round. Pacquiao clearly won his rounds and Marquez clearly won his rounds. The closest thing I could see Marquez getting to a win is a draw in the second fight. IMO giving him both the 1st and 11th round is biased because he truly deserved neither of them.

The thing I was arguing about Mexican heritage is a completely different subject where people have no idea what they are talking about, are trying to educate me about what happened because thats their cultural background without the actual research into what happened.

Marquez should thank Burt Clements for getting the draw in MP-JMM 1.

As for the rematch, all I can say is check out my blog http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingfor...marquez-2.html

Btw, Pac knocked down JMM TWICE in 3rd round. ;)

Also the 11th round, Manny outlanded Marquez, he inflicted more damage, he was backing MArquez up, Marquez landed a few punches but Manny had excellent defense in parts making Marquez miss combinations.

Your out of your fukking mind. And your fukking blind. Marquez landed a solid cross on Pacquiao. Pacquiao landed a glancing one. And Pacquiao landed nothing to the body you fukking liar. Marquez landed the only good body shot with like 23 seconds left in the round. The first round was a clear Marquez round.

Marquez on both fights showed that he is a total package himself, but Pacquiao was able to hurt him more and actually dropped him. Marquez claiming to have won both should stayed on his feet and do more damage next time, too bad this version of Paqcauio he is facing won't overcommit to his punches, has better balance, defense and power.
PAC will knock him out the next time they fight;)

doesn't say much in Pac's favor if he scored (at least in your eyes) 5 knockdowns and yet is still swarmed with controversy against him, cause most feel Marquez won both fights

I totally agree with the 2 KDs... JMM holding the ropes for survival... It should have been a 10-7 round... JMM got disoriented after the 2 KDs...

PAC's forte is knocking down, knocking out and mauling people inside the ring... JMM's forte is counterpunching people... Who do you think had more success in doing his thing on the other boxer?? PAC's 5 KDs on JMM was very impressive, no one ever had done that to JMM while PAC been giving rounds to other opponents and not only to JMM...;)

I scored it almost identically. The only difference in my card is that I gave Marquez the 7th round, but I really feel that round could've been scored for either fighter (or even a draw). Anyways, I had it 115-112 Marquez, but there were several extremely close rounds and I can understand why some people think Pac won.

Well all I can say is I hope you paid off all your student loans because your instructors are full of shit. You are trying to tell a Mexican he is Spanish. 2nd of all we are not Christians for the most part we are Catholics, Changing religion does not change your heritage only your culture. What your instructor failed to teach you is that no one in Latin America accepts being called Spanish because they are not !!! Try this shit next time you are in Mexico and see how fasrfast you get your ass kicked. Mexicans had exposure to Spanish ways but that does/ did not change their physical make up. What you are saying is the equivelant to saying all cultures having exposure to Coca Cola and that now drink it are now Americans ..... And all your classroom follies do not equate to my flowing Mexican Blood and 35 years of traveling throughout the AMERICAS 75-125 days a year.

Books lie and are nothing more than an authors interpretation and are not factual ( are books not edited? ) Try reading an American History book and then read a Mexican history book and you will see they have radical vast different stories as to how the Mexican territory became property of the USA.

So all Mexicans should be schooled abroad by your instructors? Contrary to your studies there are 62 indigenous peoples/ tribes living in Mexico protected by the constitution and still practicing old beliefs and non Spanish speaking

Can you be p4p number 1 if you are 10-3 for the last 5 years?

You know... Iv'e really made a point of averting this discussion. I just don't want to get into a debate about it.

Why? Because the opinion is so split. There's just no point.

BUT, i will say that i have watched and re-watched and re-thought, and re-scored and then re-re-watched BOTH fights over and over (I'll be honest, i think the main reason is that both fights are so damn 'Watchable'. ;) ). And i'll be honest Marquez won both fights.

Not only that, but at times in the second fight, Marquez impressed me so much i even started thinking about naming my unborn Son Marquez :D

Seriously talented, gutsy fighter is Marquez :cool:

Considering the competition sure. But he's not 10-3 ;D Bernard actually is 10-3 over his last 13 and he's thought of as top five.

I personally think Bernard should be 12-1 with a close decision loss to a hall of famer but both Taylor fights were close enough to where you can't say he was robbed (the second was bullshit though IMO ;D) so he's 10-3. Same with Pac. I thought he edged both JMM fights but you don't have to work that hard to convince me he didn't. And I wasn't even a big fan then, I only became a big fan for the most part because I'm a contrarian and all the ridiculous hate started to annoy me.

Each fighter won 2 rounds each CLEARLY!!!!!!

that means 8 rounds is up for grabs... what does that tell you? it boils down to subjectivity in scoring close rounds and 8 rounds are close.

2 Respected judges Duane Ford and Jerry Roth cancelled each other out so the youngest Judge Miller had the fight for Pacquiao by 1 point.

Press people and Gerry Roth ( JMM) were seating in the same row. ALL press people who had it for JMM were equally happy for a pac victory because 8 fucking rounds were very close nobody disputed the verdict among the press. In addition Pac got 3 points for the 2 rounds that he clearly won.


Pacquiao WON officially. It would be more of an injustice if JMM was awarded the victory.

Round 1 - Marquez landed 1 good shot. thats 1 shot Pacquiao out gunned him the whole round. Pac landed more. you cant win a round by landing 1 good shot.


Round 11 - another round where PAC can claim.



-- There is no way anybody can prove that JMM won this fight and there is a reason why judges are being paid.

:confused:

One of those paid judges scored the fight 115-112 for Marquez. It was a close fight that could've gone either way and anyone saying otherwise is either biased or an idiot.
