No Robbery

First topic message reminder :

i think all the claims of robbery are from marquez doing far better than expected. it was a close fight with a few tight rounds, but manny's aggression won him the fight. it was a mistake on the corner of marquez to tell him he was winning the fight, he seemed to slow down. (watch the fight with HBO commentary).

i wanted marquez to win but had manny up 4-2 at the half way point.
my score was 6-6 but if anyone was going to squeeze a round, it would have been manny.

marquez had the more eye catching punches but manny threw more and just edged some of the rounds.

guess this leaves open the mayweather fight, which is the reason many people think the scoring was as it was. ive always thought mayweather would beat manny, now i think it would be easier than expected. well done marquez. but well done manny in beating a VERY good fighter. lets not forget that.

Personally I find 116-112 to Marquez rather odd, but it's a subjective thing.

I had rounds 2 and 3 to Marquez

In fairness to the judges though they were consistent on a fair few rounds....

Surprised there were no 10-10s
