I just watched Pacquiao-Marquez 2

[the_PRODIGY]

ROUND 7: Close round. Marquez started out well, Pacquiao landed as the round progressed. I believe Pacquiao’s shots were more solid and got the better of the exchanges. A lot of Marquez’ flurries were blocked.

ROUND 8: Great round for Marquez. I think that was the most dominant round any fighter has had against Manny. Marquez landed BIG shots and had Manny hurt to the body.

Round to Marquez
4-4 Tie
Pacquiao 76, Marquez 75

ROUND 9: Closest round of the fight. Both fighters landed their punches and I had the round even. But if I had to give it to someone I think Pacquiao’s biggest punch was way bigger than any of the punches Marquez landed in the round.

Round to Pacquiao
5-4 Pacquiao
Pacquiao 86, Marquez 84

ROUND 10: Manny wobbles Marquez with his first punch of the round. Pacquiao’s early onslaught and continued ability to land his left hand won him the round.

Round to Pacquiao
6-4 Pacquiao
Pacquiao 96, Marquez 93

ROUND 11: Manny blocked a lot of Marquez’ shots but I also believe Manny didn’t land enough punches to convincingly win the round. Marquez’ right hand was the most apparent punch in the round.

Round to Marquez
6-5 Pacquiao
Pacquiao 105, Marquez 103

ROUND 12: Marquez landed the more significant blows in the round. I actually don’t see how anyone could give the 12th to Manny. Lederman and I had a very similar scorecard. I think we differed opinions on the 12th.

Round to Marquez
6-6 Tie
Pacquiao 114, Marquez 113

FINAL SCORE: 114-113 in favor of Pacquiao. This fight had so many close rounds (1, 7, 9 could’ve gone either way), making it a big deal on everyone’s scorecards.

I gave the 11th to Pac and the 12th even.

Good analysis.But honestly,,I myself don't know why I suddenly can't give Marquez the 12th. The 1st time I scored the fight it was a no brainer to me. Yeah he was the aggressor. He probably threw more punches on that round on all of the 24 rounds against Pac.but considering that 'nothing significant and damaging' really connected compared to the manner he was landing those left hooks and right straights earlier. While Pac was landing jabs and short lefts more than ever and is surprisingly blocking almost all of Marquez's blows.

There is this feeling. AHHH it was the final round and Marquez was throwing it all out..against Pacquiao! you expect an all out war. and props to Marquez for doing so.But here's Pac suddenly boxing great...against Marquez! he made JMM looked desperate. there is that feeling now. amazed. props to Pac. If I can generously give Marquez a round for containing a barbaric assault from Pacquiao..Maybe we can do things the other way around. you feelin me? But heck I still scored the round even. But that doesn't mean I think Lederman's card was erroneous. In fact I don't wanna watch the fight for another time..coz I also have this feeling that if I would do a few more scrutiny on the 12th...I could very well agree with him!
