There was certainly some colourful language in the chatbox during the Manny fight. furious

Didn't you once get banned for using 'colourful' language Balti?

Literally, yeah. Yellow, it was. Chat box isn't a permanent thread though and as such isn't filtered. Good job. I'd have been reduced to '*********** **** ******* ***** judges'.

Aye, I remember the yellow thing well.

Funny how Fists didn't swear on the chatbox, given his love of getting around the swear filter on normal threads by using non-Oxford English Dictionary past tenses of bad words.

I was happy to take the opportunity to vent. The coffee and the result are the reasons I'm still awake now. It's light outside and Mythbusters is on...

Yeah, no such issues here. The fight finished just before 2pm so I'm still awake because it's normal to be awake in the afternoon. I did wonder about you though mate.

What myth are they busting now?

Summat to do with baseball. Not really paying much attention, I'm just reading various afterfight reports. I had a nap for about 3 and a half hours before the fight, and with the coffee I'm wide awake.

Are the majority of the reports weighted towards the 'robbery' angle?

'Controversy' at least, I would guess.

I've seen nothing of the fight, only going on what people have said on here really. I'll read the BBC one now though.

Seems a lot are making mention of the 'controversy' angle. Only card I've seen that gave it to Pacquiao was on the Philboxing site. Go figure.

BBC said:

Manny Pacquiao retained his WBO welterweight title with a narrow and somewhat controversial points victory over Juan Manuel Marquez in Las Vegas.

Like I said, I didn't see it but from the reaction of the good people in the chatbox here, somewhat controversial sounds a little kind.

I think what of course makes it worse is the history. If it had been the first time they had fought, maybe it wouldn't have been such a big issue. But after such close, controversial fights before, Marquez must be feeling like he would need to kill Manny to get the win.

Anyway, I need to watch it to really know what I'm talking about.

You try to get some sleep Balti!

I'll admit perhaps some people over-reacted but it was still a robbery. A draw at best would have been the most Pacquiao should've received. It's the fact that Roach in Pacquiao's corner thought he was losing quite late on, Khan on commentary (which was awful, FYI) thought Pacquiao needed a KO or KD to win, Steve Collins in the Primetime studio-a former Roach fighter I believe-thought Pacquiao had lost...yet the judges gave him the win. 116-112 was ridiculous. Money talks I guess.
