I just watched Pacquiao-Marquez 2

[KananKrus]

Now, if you watch it without audio, you will have it as prodigy’s… eleventh round for Pacquiao, and twelfth a draw.

Marquez being” more aggressive” need be qualified. ..If it meant like not backpedalling is “being more aggressive” then it is then. They were forced to as Marquez need to get off his counter ways, as I am sure, their camp felt a deficit after the ninth and tenth.

However, the same Pacquiao is what you will see, did not change, still poking and punching.
If Pacquiao refusing to foolishly lunge and get caught is perceived as cautious, then let it be. It was in the judges eyes, enough to win, as what all they saw from Marquez was make it difficult for Pacquiao to knock him out.

I too will score round 1 for Pac. After reviewing it, and as was egged on by C-Lo’s post.
Round 1:
A lot of misses up until …
2:25, when a left right from Pacquiao landed but unseen through the eyes of Moe, Larry and Curly.
The initial left was blocked, but the right definitely landed on the jaw.
2:12 a lead left, landed from Pac. There is nothing much scoring for Marquez, up to this point.
1:11 they saw a phantom counter from JMM, and failed to see that prior to that…
1:12 a solid body punch landed with power, a right in the stomach, from Pac.
1:07, Marquez landed his only telling blow. Which to the “Three Scholars” was enough to win the round for Marquez.
0:56 a clash of heads.
0:32 A miss by Pac and a miss by JMM, opened up for a flurry; right, right, left hook, and right hook from Pacquiao mostly scoring but minimal damaging blows. Which was answered by…
0:30/0:29 Two JMM low blows. Right low blow connected, right hook miss, low uppercut low blow miss.
They exchanged some more misses and grazes, like the rest of round 1.

1:07, Marquez landed his only telling blow. Which to the “Three Scholars” was enough to win the round for Marquez. It was a left right. The left was caught a bit on the gloves, but my, the right straight was beautifully placed, right smack on PacMan's face.

The fact that Pacquiao's improper balance and odd body language after receiving blows, made the smackers even more prominent.

So to Moe, Larry and Curly... score the round for Marquez. I guess their stock did not rise after that night.

ice did you hear jmm say he is willing to come up to 147 to fight pac again? these two have the best rivalry ever no fucking doubt. Its two of todays best with two needle thin close fights. Fucking legends

IMO Pacquiao needs to fight guys like Mayweather, Hatton, Cotto right now. I don't see him fighting JMM bringing that kind of attention and money to the sport as the other three.

Another thing I see is that Pacquiao obviously has troubles with JMM's style, but when fighting other guys Pacquiao is the superior fighter by a bit. I mean look at their back to back fights wtih Barrera, Pacquiao had that fight in the bag from round one, easily outboxing Marco. MAB-JMM was a close fight until close to the end when Barrera started getting tired, but it was competitive and close the whole way through. I honestly think JMM wouldn't have beaten Oscar even on that night, being orthodox, Oscar would have had no problems landing his jab on Marquez or his left hook, and I don't see JMM being able to deal with his power, Pacquiao was unorthodox enough to make Oscar miss, and have Oscar guessing, but JMM is a classic fighter, and Oscar and most boxers do better against that type of opponent.

jmm looked more aggressive then usually especially in the 12 cause he knew he needed the round more then pac. Pac was just boxing him, some people at first thought jmm won cause pac didnt knock him out. those are casual fan way of scoring. Pacs defense was unnotice cause he usually stays on the offense. He block a lot of jmm punches and countered with better shots then jmm did him. Look at the 3rd round kd and the 10th round when jmm almost falls out of the ring. For some reason pac box during his last few fights at 130 the second mab fight and the second jmm fight. I think it was true he had trouble making 130 so he kept a slower pace and box instead of his usually tazmanian onslaught. Botton line it was a close match, and pacs boxing skill and defense is undderated.
