For me 2 things went way wrong in this fight - First of all to stay up to watch what I expected to be a fantastic fight to then have the coverage cut off annoyed me beyond belief!!!!
But to then have the coverage comeback on as the decision is being announced to hear the scoring of 2 judges that only gave MAB 2 rounds is truly f ucking barking mad - I get a lot wrong in my scoring especially if I like a fighter - and I have met MAB on a couple of occasions and he has done my lad a favour or 2 with memorabilia but even with a gross amount of biased - there is no way MAB only WON 2 of those rounds!!!
I thought the fight was very close - just as the coverage went off - I had Pacman 1 round up - so even with not watching those last 3 rounds and lets say for definite Pacman won those last 3 rounds which we could not see - my score would have been 116 - 112.
The scoring of those 2 judges was barking mad.
The cut in coverage - just as the fight got to a very crucial stage absolutely nuts.
Thought Bunce and Woodhall got it spot on.
Any thoughts??
MAB v Pacman .... Madness!!!

118-109 was wide but Pacquiao did take the last few rounds including a 10-8 round in the 11th as Barrera got docked a point for a headbutt, so he was a clear winner and Marco was too negative. Funny though that I watched the fight on a perfect online stream for a $4 monthly subscription whilst you got fucked over forking out for Setanta. MAB should get one more fight and retire on a high and Manny should consider moving up in weight again as he's looked drained recently. Weighed in at 144 tonight.

Good point about the 11th which of course we did not see - but I still had the fight a lot closer than a 9 point margin!!!
I think Manny won it obviously but concur without having watched the last 3 that its was much closer than 118/109.
A little disappointed in that fight really. Expected more from Manny and sad that this is it for a great fighter that MAB is. I thought he was very dignified when the interviewer solicited that the fight was closer than it was scored.
