chicot Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 What did you make of last night's fight? Personally, I thought the decision was a total disgrace. I made it 8 rounds to 4 in Marquez's favour and couldn't see any way Pacquiao won it. Marquez landed the cleaner, more effective shots all night long and most of Pacquaio's shots caught nothing but air. Even Amir Khan, Pacquiao's stablemate, thought Manny had lost and was making excuses for him before the verdict came in.
truth on hold Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 Depends how you score: total punches landed goes to Pac. Quality of punches landed goes to Vasquez
Mark Vader Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 It's because of fights like this that it should be a rule for judges to submit their scores per round during the fight. So everyone knows what the score is.
BuffaloBillsSD Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 It's because of fights like this that it should be a rule for judges to submit their scores per round during the fight. So everyone knows what the score is. +1, that would let the boxers know exactly what they need to do to win.
PaattMaann Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 or everyone could just watch the better fighting option...the UFC sorry but had to do it, let er' rip with the "purists" love
KD in CA Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 +1, that would let the boxers know exactly what they need to do to win. I don't following boxing much anymore, but I'm not in favor of that. Boxing doesn't need a scoreboard. It sounds to me like this decision was about protecting next big-money fight between Pacquiao and Mayweather. It's an old story in boxing -- if you are the guy they don't want to win, you better knock your man out.
