MERGED: All About Pacquiao vs. Marquez III

[nowayL]

From PhilBoxing.com:

Stop the emotional comments and analyze the fight and its result based on facts. Everyone was expecting a blowout and a beatdown Hatton-style so anything short of that will be a big disappointment. This was what happened. Pacquiao was a victim of his own success that's why everyone, including Manny himself, was disappointed. This did not mean that Marquez won because he did not.

Anyone who's saying Marquez CLEARLY won the fight or that he was ROBBED of a victory is either delusional or being emotional that Manny did not beat him down badly.

Neither man was able to hurt the other significantly. Most rounds were very tight and could have gone either way SO those who are saying it's a clear win for Marquez OR the Marquez dominated the fight are just PLAIN STUPID. Marquez dominated the fight? Come on people, he did not even hurt Manny.

Facts are facts. Here are the proofs that Manny won the fight.

1. NUMBER OF PUNCHES LANDED: Manny threw more and landed more punches. Since no one landed a big shot enough to hurt the other, this became an amateur-kind-of-fight where it needed to be scored on the number of punches connected.

2. AGGRESSION: Manny was the aggressor all night. Look at the fight again. Manny was chasing Marquez all night as Marquez was backpedalling throughout the fight. If Manny did not attack there would have been no fight.

3. RING GENERALSHIP: Manny controlled the tempo. The fight was dictated by Manny. He was moving and using his footwork while Marquez was waiting. Those who are saying that marquez gave Manny a boxing clinic are just plain dumb. What clinic? Manny dictated the fight. He made it exciting when he wanted to. He pressed the actions all night. He countered Marquez when he needed to. Marquez was so hesitant to even come forward.

4. CHAMPION vs CHALLENGER: The challenger needs to take the belt. It should not be handed out. Marquez did not do enough to take the belt. If this alone was the basis of scoring a tight round, it should have been 10:2 rounds in favor of Pacquiao.

5. CHAMPIONSHIP ROUNDS: Marquez did not do jack in the later rounds. Both did not land anything of significant in the championship rounds but at least Manny was pressing the action and was trying to have something happen. What did Marquez do ? - NOTHING. If Manny did what Marquez did in those rounds, they would have done dancing with the stars.

6. THE FACE: Look at their faces and tell me that "Marquez dominated the fight". Bullcrap! Marquez had far worse damage in his face.

7. HBO CREW and the CROWD: They were on the ball. Ledderman had it for Manny by 4 points. This is not to say they were 100% accurate. This simply means that Marquez did not dominate the fight and was not robbed of a victory. The crowd who were booing were mostly Mexicans. What do you expect? This was the closest a Mexican came close to winning in a long time against Manny.

Bisan unsaon pa ni nimo Bro ang mga pildero dili gyud modawat kay daog lage kuno si JMM ... kalooy nalang gyud tawon ... lol

Even Roach admitted that they're behind. After the end of the 12th round, Pacquiao not sure he won went to his corner looked lost(he raised his hands in the first two fights) and while Marquez raised his hands.

It just gi grabe kaayo ang hype sa 24/7 nga personal daw ni nga away ni Packy and he will KO Marquez in 6 rounds.

It was a tactical battle, Marquez dictated the pace, limiting Pacquiao to fire 3 punch combo only.

I think it was the bodyshot that slowed Pacquiao. Marquez invested heavily downstairs.

Well i will watch the fight again (reviewing 3 times per round).

Anyone believes that Pacquiao will beat Mayweather?

I still believe he can. It doesn't prove his performance with Marquez would equate with Mayweather. As I've said the world is round, anything could happen. As what Marquez did yesterday with Pacquiao that surprised the boxing world. That to could also happen to Mayweather if he becomes overconfident with Pac's abilities.

you are just having too much expectations on the person you idolize. Don't forget even if he is a champion he still trains and practice like beginners usually do.

nahitabo pud ni kang Morales, Barrera, ug Pacquiao kaniadto

Barrera beat Morales, so expected jud daw mapilde ni Pacquiao si Morales sa first fight, pero napilde si Pac.....
