    Default It was an amazing fight why are you guys argueing over trivial points?

    Honestly I felt it probably should have been a draw, but just appreciate the fight. Both guys did an amazing job. I knew by how Roach holds pads for Manny that Pacquiao will never truly feel comfortable walking into the zone he needs to be in, to land his hardest shots. Marquez understands this and really understood that Manny still squares up too much and takes bad angles, but Manny's footwork in terms of speed and balance was way better than Juan's which was suprising considering how much better Marquez's balance was in the previous fights. Some people will say that Manny is now past it, but that's not true, he just wasn't fighting the smaller faster, durable guys of the past that really gave him a hard time. If he can get into position to hit you then Manny is unstoppable. Bigger guys with slower minds and less commitment simply couldn't handle Manny. The bigger you go the less punches and quick exchanges happen in a fight, that is why Marquez did well, he stayed so mentally focused because he realized that Manny is dangerous at any moment, and he never stopped commiting to his offense. Manny also was amazing, how he slashed through with quick left hands, how he sometimes left JMM totally lost with his footwork. They both had terrific exchanges and they were both sharp, quick, and tactical. I honestly don't think this fight takes away from Pacquiao, he is still the same guy who dominated all those bigger guys, but they had styles he would look good against, they tried to be the bigger man against a guy who hits way harder than any of them expected from angles they often don't see. Instead of crying about who won appreciate the myriad of different things they did to try and get the edge on eachother. This is a once in a life time type display of this level of skill and ability so evenly matched.

    Unbelievable. There are already many threads and hundreds of posts with an answer to your question.

    Really? There is no answer that I saw, just bitter people complaining about a close fight going in favor of the Pacquiao. I understand that Pacquiao fans can be obnoxious, but he fought an excellent fight and deserved to win as much as Marquez did if not more so with landing more and being more aggressive. I think it was an awsome fight and people should focus on that. At the end of the day Manny is better for boxing than JMM. He has been dominated by Floyd Mayweather, yet, and he has actually improves so much still every time he comes out. It's just he hasn't figured out how to deal got optimal distance and angles yet. That's Roach's fault from what I've seen of their training. Either way, people are way too bitter about this fight. Pacquiao is great for boxing, and they had a terrific fight. Him winning this fight is better for boxing.

    I wasnt too bothered who won I never am. I wanted JMM to though.
    This was won by him more so than the other fights. I was on the first, because a three knockdown in one round, whats the most you can score for that

    This last one isnt Mannys fault, this fight is boxing officials ruling for the greater good of boxing at the expense of a fighter for their own gains.

    It was a good fight, Im about to watch it again.

    Hardly "trivial" if you're Marquez. What's best for boxing should be entirely incidental to scoring the fight.

    still havent seen the fight but did Marquez won 7 rounds clearly? i mean absolutely CLEAR CLEAR 7 rounds ??

    because the way things are. even rounds goes to the aggressor/champion fighter.

    like if MARQUEZ ABSOLUTELY DOMINATED 5 rounds and each of the 7 rounds were EVEN. PAC wouldhave still won 115-113 ( 10 POINT 'MUST' )

    sorry cant resist posting

    Taeth, I couldn't agree with you more. I was 150% agree with you. Great scrap. Each fighter should hold their head high after that one. Hats off to both.
