Same score i had last time 114-113 Marquez, i thought Marquez pulled it out in the championship rounds.
the last two rounds was the only thing we disagreed. I gave Pac the 11th and scored the 12th even. Please watch the last two rounds again. I knew Marquez threw a lot of punches but I didn't think he landed that many. While Pac was suddenly jabbing and throwing hooks with his right and lead left hands. I remember Emmanuel Steward and Larry Merchant noticed how Pac was doing a great job defensively. And after the 11th Lampley (who I think had a huge bet for Marquez

) even added Marquez may have to knock Pacquiao out to win. I don't think they will say those words if Marquez won the round convingly. same goes for the 12th. I think Marquez threw more punches but it's Pac defense and boxing that stood out to me.
11th round is the crucial round here. If the 11th is changed in favor of pac on Ice's scorecard, you've got pac winning by 1 point. I think Taeth also has been pointing that out too. I had pac winning by 2 (and I'm a pretty fair fan 'cause I've always conceded here that Marquez won the 1st fight). I think 1 reason why many 'experts' at the ringside - yup, the same fellows who favored Oscar 19-1 against pac
- gave Marquez the fight is that probably their impression of the 1st fight influenced their decision. I think pac won even when he was definitely dehydrated (look at weigh-in pics) and looked a bit wobbly at the later rounds on both the Marquez and Barrera rematches. Someone hinted that just before the fight on his thread and I sort of agreed with him on my post there. IMO, Marquez has no chance against strong pac - I mean pac without the weight problem. Nevertheless, I think Marquez still deserves another rematch just to settle the issue particularly for his fans, but the fight has to be at 140 as pac already said he can't go down to 135lb anymore. Or better yet, let Hatton and Marquez fight and let the winner take on pac. But at any rate, the tapes of the fight are there as evidence for the future guys to see who really won and there should be no doubt there, or at least there was no robbery, and I'm pretty comfortable with it.
Once in awhile, get outside in fresh air, take a deep breath & with a deep sigh, let out all the things that's bottled up inside you & be free, & you'll get a glimpse of nirvana.
