I was not really surprised Marquez flattened him. Manny is done!

I thought Holyfield won the 2nd Lewis fight, it was a tremendous fight for Holyfield considering the controversy of the the draw and he clearly lost that one. I thought Lewis lumbered around for most of the 2nd fight with no counter to Holyfield's effective jab and he was on target with his left hook..I gave Lewis rounds 2 9, 10 and 11 only. 116-112 Holyfield.

I am in the minority on both counts.

We are in the same camp with these. I had Holy 115-113, haven't watched it for a while & cannot remember the rounds won by either fighter. Will have to view it again soon.

Pacman threw lots of one two's but missed lots for me, coming on in the last 3rd of a round to try & steal it. I still cannot get my head around the bollocks that it was the biggest robbery in years if not ever, for some people :confused:

I remember thinking that by the mid rounds Pacman was in trouble, i was under the mis guided belief that Bradley was just being awkward and eventually Pacman would land a big shot and order would be restored, it didn't happen and was never likely to happen during that fight. Pacquaio missed and missed and missed while Bradley countered and scored IMO. It was a close fight, but Bradley did not deserve all the vitriol he received just because he won! This was no Whitaker V Chavez robbery, this was just a close call and it went Bradley's way. If Pacman has a real problem with it then do it again?

I also had Holyfield winning Lewis rematch. I didn't see the outrage in Nelson vs Fenech 1 draw. In hindsight I don't see Tiberi vs Toney as a robbery at all, maybe a 1,2 point iffy score. I had Carlos Salazar outboxing Barrera way back. Leonard over Hagler. Tarver over Jones jr 1 with room to spare. Didn't see any controversy at all in Bradley vs Campbell, and I love Campbell...but I think he wanted out!

Good topic actually, gets you thinking.

Barrera beat morales in the first but I had him losing the 3rd fight
