    Frankly, to say the fight wasn't close, isn't being honest.

    I had the fight 6-6. Press row was split. Many, many writers had this fight a draw. Rafael who had Marquez winning the first two fights had this fight a draw too Pacquiao-Marquez: Manny Pacquiao picks off Juan Manuel Marquez, ready for Floyd Mayweather - ESPN. No, Marquez was not 'robbed' vs. Pacquiao - New York Boxing Blog - ESPN New York. Max Kellerman who I usually consider to be on point had the fight a draw too. Steve Kim from maxboxing.com had the fight 115-113 Marquez. Steven Edwards on boxingtalk.com had it 115-113 Pacquiao. Doveed Linder also from boxingtalk.com had it 6-6. Someone who I respect a ton for his boxing writing and his experience in boxing is Graham Houston. Graham Houston thought Pacquiao eeked out a win. NO CLOSURE: Manny Pacquiao W12 (maj.) Juan Manuel Marquez.

    Goerge Willis from the New York Post - "it was a tough fight to score." http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/boxin...PD1gTqeGrikrkI
    Compubox is not by any means the be all and end all, but compubox had Manny throwing 578 punches to Marquez's 436 and landing 176 punches to Marquez's 138. Manny led 117-100 on power punches. So, I don't think it's honest to say this fight wasn't close. I thought there were 3 rounds a piece that were clear and then there were 6 rounds that were damn tough to score.
