Only 4 of 88 Press Members scored for Marquez
88 scores taken from the boxing press and only 4 had Marquez winning the fight. One of the scores i feel was shocking.
I had it 115-113 Bradley but felt he clearly won.

Doesn't surprise me. Bradley deserved the nod.

The 116-112 JMM was the one that surprised me.

Yeah this doesn't surprise me either.
It wasn't until I visited the forums I realised some people scored it for Marquez. ( they must be die hard Marquez fans )
Marquez loses credibility when he claims he was robbed every time he loses. I sympathise with him for the pac fights but what about the close fights he won.

Believe me, I watched the fight wanting more than anything for JMM to win. But I gotta give Bradley his due, he fought a great fight and really leave any holes for JMM to exploit. To me, he was undoubtedly the better man that night.

In this case, the scores point out what many of us saw. And that was Bradley winning the fight.

Was CJ Ross one of those press members?

The only way you can score that for Jmm is if you are a die hard fan or you hate Bradley. One of the clearest loses Jmm has had and ever one thought he would kill Bradley as well. Now rematch pac i would love to see how a non injured Bradley would do i think it be a better fight.

^yeah I think it's too much love for JMM and too much hate for Bradley. Tim fought a great fight. He fought a great counterpuncher like you should fight one. JMM was mostly getting beat to the punch and getting the worse of the exchanges.
