I saw it like Lederman did.

You have to do more than what JMM just did against a champion especially in the stature of a Manny Pacquiao to win an outright decision. Purely self opinion on my part!

Pre fight, Dinamita planned to leave the outcome of the fight out of the hands of the judges and yet all he did was back pedal and counter, albeit beautifully, all night. Sadly, this scheme was all he wanted to do... and all he was willing to risk! Regardless that it has already been previously established that based on the wins awarded to his oponent in these tightly contested fights, the agressor and his opponent, is the one given the nod.

Pac wins purely by being the aggressor! The one by which with the slightest of ring fan's outcries will immeditely seek to be the aggressor and bring the fight on and taking risks in an ironically for Manny, a high-risk but low-reward type of a duel.

Pacquiao's main thing though in this fight, is not to be "the" Montiel to a "Dinamita Donaire". To be COUNTER PUNKED, uncrowned out of his lofty perch!

Nowadays, Juan Manuel clearly can no longer outsmart a savvy version of Pac. Relying on Pacquiao being too overly aggressive to the point of recklessness was no smart move, for it never happened and assuredly, can no longer happen as it had in the past particularly as in the second round of their second fight.

When this carelessness did not materialize, the warrior in Marquez should have had been summoned instead and engaged Pac in a savage knockout slugfest.

Had this happen, and the fight's outcome still close, I would not have a problem with Juan Manuel Marquez winning it. He is, by the way the greatest of all Mexican warriors to ever lace it.

Did it happen though?

Sadly, No! Cautiousness and respect on each fighter robbed us of a better fight and cautiousness and respect too, evidently, got the better of a more decisive result!
