Having rewatched it, Marquez was better than I initially thought. Manny Pac always scares to death with his movement and quite frankly Marquez is a far cooler customer than most of us watching him fight. I watched it live as just pure nerves. On rewatching you can sit down calm knowing that you've seen the moves all before.
I score it.
Round 1 - Pac 10-9
Round 2 - Pac 10-9
Round 3 - Marquez 10-8
Round 4 - Marquez 10-9
Round 5 - Pac 10-9
Round 6 - Fight ends by
Manny wanted to please, got sloppy and ultimately that led to him making a fatal mistake and you cannot do that with Marquez. It really was stupid of Pac to go mental at the end of the round like that. There was no need. Just kamikaze and the kind of thing we chided Hatton for doing.
