manny should have won.

that fuckin lame ass judge needs to learn how to score. he even admitted he was wrong, but it was to late.

pacman rules.

now he has to fight him again. damn it all.

Following is reposted from what I wrote on Clubvibes:

Unbelievable.. you can make a case for Marquez winning the fight.. he controlled most of it besides the first (generally speaking.. Pacquiao was definetly right there!)... but for those of you who didn't hear this detail:

The fight was scored a draw. One judge had Pacquaio winning, one had Marquez winning, and the other had it tied. The judge who had it tied scored the first round 10-7 for Pacquaio, while the other two had it 10-6

Here's the problem with that. Pacquaio knocked his opponent down 3 times in that round. Under the 10 point must scoring system, both fighters start with 10 points in each round.. you get 1 taken away for losing the round, and 1 taken away for every time you're knocked down.

Marquez was knocked down 3 times. Which makes it 10-7.. I don't know about you, but I figure a round in which you get knocked down 3 times.. you probably lost the round. Which makes it 10-6, as two judges managed to figure out.

If the 3rd judge scored the 1st round as 10-6, which he clearly should have, he no longer has the fight as a draw on his scorecard, he has Pacqiuao winning. Which means 2 judges to one have Pacuiao winning. Which means he wins the god damn fight!!!

Man... nothing like boxing to stir up a bit of controversy... and to give me the opportunity to misspell Manny's name 8 different times.

Cheers,

as i said, fuckin lame.

pacman should have won that.

i don't see how they couldn't change it somehow. that's just fucked up.

That's hurting man. I watched the Paquiao vs Barrera fight, that was killer. It was amazing seeing Barrera so frustrated, he'd never encountered anything like that before.

I was watching that fight, I think it was close, and Pac did get hit hard a lot in the early goings, made it interesting later....but ya....Pac is great, there is a reason he's had 3 titles.

i've never seen anyone that fast before.

Don't u mean Marquez got hit alot early? I mean Manny is the one who knocked marquez down 3 times. I think manny should have won b y a slim margin. Though it was indeed a close fight. I saw it on tsn.

my buddies and I were shooting the shit with Paquiao and his pose the day before the fight
we wandered into the restricted area of the MGM and they were just standing around

hahaha yah...damn i wish gatti and ward can fight jus 1 more time!!!damn ward y did he have to retire lol

^ he was getting old. and now another great fighter is retiring one who is far superior to ward. Julio Caesar Chavez (i hope i spelt it right) says he will fight his last fight and than retire.

He went 90 matches before he finally succumbed to a loss
