Anyone watch Pacquiao vs. Marquez? IMO it was close, Manny battled back and won a few rounds at the end. Marquez looked better when he won his rounds, but Manny might have done enough to earn a draw on a scorecard. But no way he should have won, let alone have it scored 116-112.

Thoughts?

Nah he won if was close, and he pushed the pace the majority of the strikes and if you look at the fight metric he landed more punches. Boxing is shit right now though in general which sucks, cause I used to love it when I was younger, I'll watch a fight here and there, but I want the Pac/Money fight to happen before both guys are past there prime.

Didn't see the fight since I wasn't that motivated to watch it due to the fact that any Pac or Mayweather fight that happens unless they lose is kinda irrelevant until they fight each other. This fight not happening is a clear thing to point to as to what is wrong with the sport.

IMO it was a total disgrace.

If anyone won by 116-112 it was JMM.

Pac could not have won 8 rds in that fight.....I found it hard enough giving him 2.
