Pacquaio vs. Marquez: SPOILERS!!! How do YOU feel?

Am I seeing the same thing here? Marquez is SCHOOLING Pacquiao?

It's Round 8 and I've got Marquez 5 rounds up...

Looks that way to me

THIS IS CRAZY!!!!! IMAGINE HOW LUCKY WHOEVER BET ON THIS OUTCOME WOULD GET. MOST PPL I KNOW SAID MARQUEZ WASN'T GOING PAST RD 6.

MARQUEZ IS AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND! HE SHOULD RETIRE AFTER THIS AND GO OUT ON A HIGH.

AS FOR FLOYD-MANNY I DON'T EVEN THINK THERE'S A POINT, FLOYD ALL DAY LONG. MUCH EASIER FOR ME TO CALL AFTER WHAT I'VE SEEN TONIGHT.

P.S KHANS OVERLY-BIASED COMMENTARY HAS ANNOYED ME.

Haha I think schooling is bit far I've got Pacman 2 maybe 3 rounds up at the start of round 10. I was expecting Pac to be doing much better though.

Hard to score, really hope JMM doesnt lose another close decision but I think he will.

Gave a damn good account of himself regardless, I was wrong to write him off (as just about everyone on this board did.)

MASSIVE ROBBERY.

absolute joke....

ROBBED...

This is disgusting.

That's it, I'm out. Arum is scum, Pacqauio was schooled...

I feel sick.

that's actuallly quite upsetting... I really think he deserved that. I scored it 117-113 marquez and thought i was being conservative

That was bad. No way did Manny win that. I had a bad feeling when they took so long over the score.

Going into the final round Pac just one round up IMO. Alot of credit to Marquez, great effort tonight.

Tht was a horrible horrible decision

116-112? Did I see that correctly?

Oh My God

This is such a bad night for boxing. That was not even close.

looking at the repllays manny looked embarrassed

Was you watching the repeat of the first fight??

Disgusting decision.

I'd love for the 116-112 Judge to explain himself. Boxing really is going down the sh*tter...

Just realised I'm about 10 mins behind because I paused it earlier!

That's embarrassing.

Gutted for the greater fighter. Absolutely Gutted.

First time I've seen Manny get booed like that, wow.

Regardless, forget the fact he didn't win, Marquez is an absolute legend for me now, really really didn't see him performing like that... I always have a weakspot for boxers who prove me wrong.

Just what Boxing needs. Poor ol JMM, been robbed. Best performance of his career and he gets a L on his record not a W.

I feel ashamed to be a Pacquiao fan tonight. No way he won that. He says he clearly won. No way. Marquez gave him a lesson. Even the Philipines will be questioning that.

ARUM SAYS HE WON!!!! Arum, i cant stand the guy.

Mayweather will be chomping to get a piece of him after this.

Speechless, speechless

Yeah I was spouting on about foregone conclusion beforehand, feels pretty disrespectful now. Legend.

Bye bye coxy if you are reading this!

Been watching quite a bit of MMA of late and after that I can understand why viewers are switching off of boxing. Myself as a big boxing fan from an early age this decision is really the straw that broke the camels back. The decison tonight says all we need to know about the current state of our beloved sport..........God rest in peace.............MMA here I come:(

BET 365 had it 5/6 odds ON for Marquez's going into round 12. Not a total robbery, but I had Marquez up by two rounds...

Was surprised many believed Pacman would stop Marquez! Nevertheless, this confirms to me that Mayweather is the P4P number one and would be the bookies favourite going into this fight.

I'd call it 115-113 to Pacquiao, but I don't have a problem with the draw scorecard either. Great performance from Marquez though, did you see his sabotage at the end! Haha I don't think he's happy with that 16-12 judge!

Change the title please just write spoiler - some of our posters are looking after kids and can't watch the fight late. Let them have the chance to judge them selves.

JMM Pac - Spoiler

Lucky for me I had a bet on it going all the way, otherwise I'd be suicidal about my bet on Marquez winning.

What a frigging joke.

BET 365 only had it like that because they knew Pacquiao could win by robbery.

Marquez won that by at least 4.

I scored it 117-112 to Marquez.

Change the title please just write spoiler - some of our posters are looking after kids and can't watch the fight live. Let them have the chance to judge them selves.

JMM Pac - Spoiler

Also, its not even close to the worst decision in a major fight for me, although I disagree with the outcome.

Good call Shah,

I was just riddled with rage.

Any better?

Not the worst decision I've seen - but that doesn't change the fact that it was still a poor one. I don't care about all the usual 'some close rounds' or 'challenger needs to really take the title' clichés - Marquez won that fight, and not a single person could convince me otherwise. I had it 116-112 to Marquez and that was maybe being a little kind to Pacquiao.

Im just hoping a fight of this magnitude will lead to an investigation because there is just no way on earth Pacquiao won that fight, let alone by a 116-112 score.

I had JMM shading it by a couple of rounds. Could have lived with a draw, but 116-112 is an horrendous card.

Marquez countered almost everything manny threw, controlled the range and outboxed him. Mayweather is a better counter puncher, is better at controlling the range in fights, is quicker, bigger and overall technically better than manny. manny can be exposed by good technical boxers, like JMM and Morales but succeeds against brawlers/come forward fighters e.g. Margarito, Barrera, hatton. I know what bracket mayweather falls into

Marquez hammered him. It wasnt close.

116-112 Marquez - and thought I was being critical. I cant take much more of this crap.

The winner, by majority ROBBERY...

I know no fighter will admit they had a gift decision but for Pacquiao to stand in the ring and say " I think I clearly won the fight"... I suppose he's getting used to being a politician.

Right guys I'm off to bed. A disappointing decision, but not unexpected.

Keep it clean fellas, and thanks for the chat to keep me awake!

Take it easy.

Course mate - I'm peed too. Just remember robertmckdee saying that he couldn't watch cuz of his little'un.

One or two people actually scoring close wins for pac so I reckon a rewatch is in store tomorrow but I dunno If I could score anything other than 116-112 to JMM. He boxed to perfection all night long in my eyes.

Anyway, night lads!

Night Fists.

UP? How?

He's probably up too. Genuine Nuthugger.

I dont really think whether its the worst decision of all time is all that relevant ultimately. A robbery is a robbery. Khan in the studio had Marquez winning, Roach had Marquez winning......

The fact that Khan was doing the commentary and could barely make a case for Pacquiao winning more than a couple of rounds said it all.

It was clear cut, and the judging should be investigated.

I agree, as a Pacquiao fan it was disgusting, i had it 117-112 to Marquez but it could have been worse.

Absolutely gutted for Marquez, thought he boxed a perfect fight and should have won a clear decision, 116-112 to Pacquaio is a disgrace. Am getting a little sick of these 6am finishes after watching an unsatisfactory fight ending, a few too many in recent months.
