In rounds where Barrera lands nothing more than jabs and Marquez lands a significant number of power shots then clearly those rounds will be scored for Marquez. The fight was a tale of 2 halves Barrrera was leading the fight at the half way point and Marquez did come into the fight more in the seconds half. Marquez dominated the rounds that he won and Barrera did his work by looking busier than Marquez in the rounds that he won.

Im not disputing that JMM won. I know this and accept this. But for me this is a fight like the first Hopkins: Taylor fight. Or even the Barrera: Morales fights. A case can be made that either fighter won depending upon how you score the fight. Debate will not change the result. But a bit of debate is all im seeking here.

Its fine with me if a majority of people think Marquez won but I would like to hear their opinions too and perhaps know how they scored the individual rounds of the fight. So far nobody has been able to go as far as doing that though.

My opinion isnt set in stone, it can be altered by a convincing argument. But so far noone has broken down for me how Barrera lost the fight. Especially not as far as by a possible 4 point margin!
