JMM's Foot Stomper Trick...

[Dench]

Absolutely astonishing. Honestly, my mind is being blown by some of the things I am hearing in the wake of this fight. So now we have to consider that Marquez wasn't accidentally getting tangled with Manny. As if Marquez is going to have the idea of stamping on Manny's feet on his mind whilst Manny is motoring in at a hundred miles an hour. He would be too busy with his mind on evading the punches and getting his own counters in.

It is more than a little bit pathetic really. At least when I had my long bitch about Barrera/Khan I had something to defend. Namely a fighter being asked to continue with his skull on display and no vision for several rounds. However, here a fighter has lost fair and square and still the blowhards are blowing smoke out of their arses. Accept it and move on. At least if you are going to have excuses have something logical or at least is in some way at least half reasonable, but this is daft.

What is going to be tomorrow? Manny was being weighed down by the weight of his beard? Manny was wearing the wrong coloured shorts? Marquez had actual dynamite in his gloves? Manny had caught the ghey?

No one said that (the one in bold). Im sure, if you want to make that point valid you can show us some clips wherein Manny 'accidentally' stepped into marquez's brand new shoes.

Your argument is fundamentally absurd though. To even consider that Marquez was purposely using foul play is utterly demented. I'm glad that you accept that Manny lost and respect that, but to even think that Marquez was purposely and without even so much as looking jumping all over the boots of Manny is silly. Surely you can see that.

Just accept the loss for what it was and move on. Fighters lose fights, it happens to the best of them, but there is no use crying foul in what was actually a remarkably clean fight. Neither Marquez nor Manny ever fights dirty and that is one of the pleasures in seeing them fight one another. There is no point in bringing down what was really a fantastic display from Marquez on trivial points such as the occasional tangle of feet.

Several foot tangles is not going to determine the course of a fight and to purposely do so could very well have seen Marquez slip and end up on his back. Nobody would ever seriously consider such an approach and nothing in Marquez's history has ever suggested serious foul play. Now if we are talking Barrera, Hopkins or Hatton then fair enough, but not Marquez and in such an absurd way too.

Some of the Pac fans need to get a grip. 'Foot stomper trick' indeed!
