[CFH]

Pacquiao can;t even seem to figure out how to mount an attack here.

Yup.

8-4 JMM!

I have 4 rounds VERY close.

I can see a draw.

[CFH]

Another Marquez round. He's got to get the decision here. I have no idea what Ledderman is smoking.

[CFH]

Marquez turned back time. He has to get the decision, and to tell the truth I wouldn't mind seeing a 4th fight.

It should be 2-1 Marquez after this.

[CFH]

Ledderman and the whole HBO team are just flat out wrong IMO.

That being said, I feel like I need to watch this fight again to have an accurate read on it.

[ElTerribleMorales]

[ultraelectromagneticpunch]

[arcanum26]

God damn.. I feel sorry for Marquez.. I'm filipino btw..

[jabvargas24]

What the fuck!!!! Robbery!!!

[CFH]

This isn't a robbery, but I really think I need to watch the fight again tomorrow to have an accurate read on what happened. Still, I thought Marquez was the clear winner.

I respect you but can it. It's a joke. What the fuck 3 fuck jobs! That's your hero all you what a joke. PAC is a suck and a hype job and good for max for calling this shit stick out. Disgusting.

The last thing HBO wants is to have the house fighter, who has tons of followers throwing $$$$$$$$ into the Vegas casinos, lose. They also don't want any controversy about the win.

Lederman, Lampley,et al are strictly stooges for them

Meh to this comment. Round by round they gave their thoughts / opinions on camera about the winner of that round.

I remember the De la hoya vs Sturm fight in which Sturm clearly won (wicked laser jab). Lampley and crew were clearly disappointed when De le hoya won and commented about the politics of the upcoming fight between De la hoya and Hopkins.

Point being, I don't believe that the HBO announcers are out to "throw the fight" so to speak.

I too am interested in re-watching to see if my opining changes on the outcome (I had Paq ahead, though barely). I think Marquez would have won if he pressed (I think he clearly outboxed Pac and had much better accuracy, though just laid off to many rounds at the end).
