But Clements scored it 10-7 instead of 10-6 as the other two judges did. Judge John Stewart called the bout 115-110 for Pacquiao. Guy Jutras had it 115-110 for Marquez. Clements scored the fight 113-113, making it a draw, but Pacquiao would have won had he scored the first round 10-6.


COOL CLICK!!!

It's that simple...

I've been a die hard Pacquiao fan since before the MAB fight, so yes i would consider myself as being biased...Needless to say i felt Pacman deserved a split or Majority decision over JMM..Regargless of my personal opinions of who should've won the fight..there are contriversial decisions almost every damn weekend, and based on the scoring mistake made on the Pac vs JMM fight...Its that simple Pac should've won the decision...

JMM fans or ppl who thought he should've won or deserved the draw can come up with any reasons to justify the decision, same goes for any fight that goes the distance ie TITO vs ODLH...Contraversy is part of the sport, but the one and only REAL mistake during the JMM/PAC fight was the scoring of rd one...>DONE!!!!CASE CLOSED!!!!

JMM was able to turn that fight around simply because Pac was (at the time) a one trick pony with his power left cross...For a masterfull counter puncher like JMM..that's exactly what he needed to win...Manny is no longer that fighter..and he will RUN RIGHT THROUGH JMM to a KO victory within the middle rds...

mark me if you feel the need....
