I was in Vegas for the fight, and of course saw it, but I'd like to watch it a second time as i have a piece to do on it, and basically took fornicate all notes as I was too busy watching to write shit all.
If anyone has a tape they could send me I would be most happy, I will of course be glad to pay for the priviledge.
Marquez v Pacquaio on Video?
Re: Marquez v Pacquaio on Video?
You've already dropped me a PM on your fabulous night, James. From TV I felt Marquez looked unlucky not to get it.jamesmcdonnell wrote:I was in Vegas for the fight, and of course saw it, but I'd like to watch it a second time as i have a piece to do on it, and basically took fornicate all notes as I was too busy watching to write shit all.

What was the consensus at ringside?

I scored it 113-112, as did Trinidad Guzman for fightnews, Steve Kim for Maxboxing, and Kieran Mulvaney for maxboxing, however, I think it might have been Ron Borges for the boston globe who was sat next to Steve Kim, who scored it by 2 rounds to pacman, Chris Cozzone, photographer for fightnews scored it 2 rounds for Pacquaio, and I seem to recall that Michael Katz had it for Pacman too.
Every single member of filipino press had it for manny, though their reasoning was pretty screwed, basically citing the 1st 2 rounds as the reason for their man's win, ignoring the fact that Marquez was jabbing and right handing the shit out of manny for most of rounds 3-9.
Steve Kim did a consensus score amongst the journalists, adding up their totals and taking the average, and the consensus was....
113-112 Marquez, same as both our scorecards.....we rule.

I had Marquez winning by a couple of points...MightyWarrior wrote:I've got a spare tape of it here as it happens James. PM your address and I'll send it on.
BTW - my Sky broadcast had a split screen f**k up for the start, but rights itself during the intros.
And I thought Marquez was robbed of one of the great wins with that fence sitting draw.
my sky broadcast had the split screen as well, thankfully it stops before the fight starts
