Was Juan Manuel Maquez got cheated on his fight with Manny Pacquiao?

Question

Was Juan Manuel Maquez got cheated on his fight with Manny Pacquiao?

Answer 1

I don't think he got cheated.

It's a very close fight which could go on either way.

Pacquiao knocked him down in the 3rd round and almost knocked Marquez down again at the end of the 3rd round saved by the bell and in the 10th round.

Pacquiao landed harder punches than Marquez even though Marquez threw more punches than Pacquiao.

Pacquiao won that fight.

Answer 2

Corz not, he was just a victim of the scoring system and not by the judges. he could actually win if they used the amateur way of scoring, but hey this the pro one and it's your performance that matters. It's up to you how to impress the judges. JMM may landed more punches, but those didn't hurt pac. On the opposite, pacquiao landed solid shots and appear to be the healthier one after the fight.

many may say marquez won the fight, but then again, it wasn't what the judges saw, we can't do much aboujt that.

Answer 3

Morales was cheated, Barrera was cheated, all mexicans that Manny defeated was cheated, why? because when a Filipino loses, Mexicans are better and does not win via cheating. They won convincingly. They had far more champions than Philippines had. They are Aztec warriors, they dont know defeat at all.  Philippines was just a little country after Mexico..... Honestly, they think they still won when in fact they're kissing the canvass.

Answer 4

He was claiming that Manny Pacquiao did cheat him - more on points rather than technicalities such as the number of punches he had landed on Pacquiao's body, etc.  That's why he's a bit disappointed and wants a rematch, even to the point that he's willing to go up (in the weight class Diaz is currently in - since Pacquiao is aiming for Diaz).

Unfortunately, some experts here also opined that this was not the best fight Pacquiao did.  To check further, may I suggest to check the Philippine Daily Inquirer website, where they have a special feature on Manny Pacquiao, to read more on the subject matter.  Hope it helps.

Answer 5

I think the forces that be in Vegas feel that Pacman has more $$ drawing power than Juan Manuel Marquez, and that played into Pacman getting the decision in a fight that I thought Marquez clearly won.  Many professional writers think the same:  http://www.thesweetscience.com/boxing-ar...

Marquez is a superior boxer by far than Pacman ever will be.  Flash knockdowns mean very little, particularly when the opponent keeps getting right back up and ends up dishing out an excellent boxing lesson.  Don't forget Marquez also rocked Manny a few times as well, in addition to outboxing him.

Answer 6

i scored the rematch a draw, so it WAS that close.

Answer 7

NO! Marquez is a looser, he cannot admit that he did not win the fight. He was just there so that Pacquiao will have a partner on the ring.
