    We even saw Pac's fine misses stunned look of surprise as her hubby was announced the winner, with a late reaction to celebrate.

    Fair enough Jimmy, I agree it was Marquez that controlled the pace of the fight, he made Pacquiao fight his fight, and shut down Manny's offense to a large degree with his timing, bodyshots, combos, and sharp counters.

    He was a bit on the negative side in many rounds though, and despite his "ring generalship" and dictating the pace, it was Manny who landed more, and I guess that's why I ended up with a 7 to 5 scorecard for Manny.

    I shall watch the fight again however, because tbh I'm pretty surprised that more people think Marquez won.

    This.

    This alone boasts a very strong case for Marquez winning the fight.

    I was shocked when I checked fightbeat earlier to see that many on here had picked Pac as the winner, very surprised actually.

    I'm sure when I watch the fight again, my mind will not change.

    I don't agree Marquez was robbed at all, but I do agree with you on that. After giving Manny all those rounds there really is no reason to give Marquez the 12th other than to seem, um, fair and objective :lol:

    BTW, the undercard fights were a real treat.

    I loved that fight. I was hoping to see worse injuries on Casapeor though.

    :lol: I actually fell asleep during that one.

    Prescott/Alvarado was a great fight and i'm delighted that mug lost.

    Cruz/Bergos was also entertaining.
