Pacquiao vs Marquez III Nov 12th [official]
- Thread starter 2-0-Sixx
- Start date
The excuses to cover up how bad Manny has looked for two fights now is funny. Look Manny fans Manny can not hit a moving target, foot and head movement confuses the guy. Manny is a one trick pony that has been exposed. Since 2008 Manny has ducked and dodged any fighter with boxing skills, but at the same time fighting big name shot fighters to build his hype. 38 yr old Marquez exposed Manny bigtime. Top Rank is going to duck the Mayweather fight again.
another great fight between them. All those people that thought pac would blow away marquez in 2-3 rounds can shut up now. Marquez is obviously an all time great fighter. It reminded me of the 2nd fight a lot, but w/o the knockdown. Marquez looked hella strong tonight. 150 pounds, damn, he was very strong. I had pac winning another close one, but still no closure, just like the second fight - close with marquez doing the countering, pac landing flurries and stealing rounds. Great fight.
The Presccott vs Alvarado on the undercard was a fantastic fight as well, what a war

yeah I thought he just squeaked it out. I'll rewatch tomorrow which is always better than live (as for scoring) but I watched with about 25 people not one person said marquez won everyone I was talking to thought it very close though even the mexican friends. I dunno, to me it just seemed evenly matched - jmm countering, pac throwing/landing more. Tough to score
It's easy to scream robbery when people have an agenda they seem to want to carry out and when a guy does a lot better than many people thought he would. I never for one second thought that this was going to be an easy fight for Pacquiao regardless of how good he's looked since he's last fought him based strictly on styles.
I've also always thought that Mayweather would beat Manny if they ever fight and possibly stop him, not from being a crushing puncher, but from hitting him with punches he runs into or simply doesn't see.
That being said no matter what you scored this fight it was *NOT* a robbery. It was a close decision, like the other 2 and it just went Pacquiao's way. Simple as that.

You can dress it up however you want. Marquez got in Manny ass tonight. One fighter worked there gameplan perfectly and it wasn't Manny. One fighter was landing big punches and it wasn't Manny. One fighter was making the other miss and was hitting him with counter and it wasn't Manny. Manny got a boxing lesson tonight plain and simple. For the second fight in a row he looked confused and couldn't land any power shots. Manny got beat and Marquez was robbed of fight he trained hard for. It's a black eye for boxing.
Marquez came more prepare than his previous fights against him, he did his homework and found a way to defend himself from Manny.
Manny needs to get back to the drawing board and find a new way to attack opponent fighters, did he get exposed all the way? not really, but he looked slower than before...
lol, you're a complete joke. there is nothing pacman could have done in the fight that you would have given him props for. if pac knocks jmm out, then you would have been saying marquez is old and washed up. if it goes to decision and marquez doesn't win, then you say he got robbed. your opinion on the fight was set before a single punch was thrown.
