This was an easy fight to score. Pac was coming forward, but it was hardly what Calzaghe was doing with Hopkins where it was all hustle and work. Pac was coming forward, but not throwing that much. In fact he appeared to be trying to box Marquez which just made him look lazy. The clean, crisp punches were all from Marquez and you saw it in most of the rounds.
It was a robbery. I don't like threads like this which try to put a spin on it. Most people thought Calzaghe beat Hopkins, most people thought Marquez beat Pac. Different kinds of fights completely, but popular opinion wins out. This was easier to score IMO as it wasn't dirty, had little clinching and had no KD's.
