I hope it was as funny as your scorecard.

That isn't much of a compliment. A plane wreck is funnier than your dimwitted attempts at humor.

It wasn't intended as a compliment . . .

You're so clever.

Yet you never soul search on your opinion that Holyfield was a weak chinned clown? You scored the fight right, but the fact that you're concerned about this as compared to your other maniacal fantasies is horrifying.

So thinking Evander loses to a peak Foreman and could lose to Jerry Quarry equates him to being a "weak chinned clown?" Very interesting . . . I learn new things here everyday!!

I've posted in other threads that I think this was a very hard fight to score. I originally hahe fight 115-113 to Marquez and could definitely see 116-112 to Marquez, or a draw at best for Pacquiao. However, I have to conceed that when I first watched the fight, I was expecting Pacquiao to win more clearly than before and for Marquez to be knocked down at some point in the fight. Because of that, I was too generous to Marquez, having him clearly win rounds that were in reality, very close.

On second viewing, I had it 115-114 to Pacquiao, but I'm happy with a close win to either fighter.

Close for Manny is conceivable, he didn't have any dominant rounds but there were many close ones. 116-112 for Pac is outlandish.

Agreed, looking at the way the rounds were scored (round-by-round not just the overall tally), I feel that the only judge who really did a bad job was the guy who gave it 116-112 to Pacquiao.

1. Pacquiao2. Marquez(closest fight of them all imo 3. Marquez(most decisive off all. It wasnt even close in my eyes. So 2-1 Marquez, but i dont have a problem with someone scoring the second fight for manny or a draw

Finally got to see the 3rd fight last night. Extremely close fight and tough to score. I had the final tally of 115-113 for Marquez, but there were 4 rounds I felt could've gone either way. 2 of which I scored for each fighter. Marquez won his rounds more clear cut in the middle portion of the fight though I thought. I agree it was the toughest to score of the Trilogy, and I would love to see them do it again. Two very evenly matched fighters
