Thoughts about Juan Marquez and Manny Pacquiao's fight, aftermath?

Question

Ok first of all, it was a tactical fight- I have to say that Manny lost his tactics after his cut but Marquez still fought hard after he was floored, he almost got knocked out again staggering after a Pacquiao's evade and counter, he should have gave some combinations, I agree with Freddy Roach him saying "he was more disciplined in training than tonight" I hope he'll be at his best in his next fight; this fight something was missing in the young Pac-Man, Marquez fought a strong fight. I thought it was going to be a draw again and I was a little surprised that Manny won, and I am wondering.. is boxing the sport where the victor wins by making an opponent hit the canvas or by surviving the fight even though the boxer was knocked out but is able to still land punches, I would like to have another rematch just like Barrera's before his advance to the 135 & I am not sure about his advance, Manny escaped an 'edgy' win but he wasn't knocked out & that was his key. What are your thoughts?

Answer 1

i thought it was going to be a draw personally

Answer 2

i think that based on the scorecards, it was even how the judge scored Pacquiao 115-112 because of how he was able to get nice big shots on Marquez with fighting style and almost knocking him down multiple times. The other judge scored 115-112 for Marquez because of how he preferred Marquez controlld his side of the fight because of his boxing style. In the end, the knockdown made the decision. There were other multiple times when Marquez couldve been knocked down and ther wer a few when Pacquiao cudve been knocked down. BUT, it was Marquez that hit the canvass, and that was the difference. If Pacquiao hit it then it wouldve been a draw once again.

It was a good fight by both warriors, but Manny "PAC MAN" Pacquiao became the better warrior that night. Good Job

Answer 3

i scored it 115-115, but if a gun was put to my head, i would say that marquez shaded it (i scored  3 rounds even).
