Anyone watching their 3rd fight tonight?
I will, I want marquez to win but bet on Pacquiao
Yeah, I don't think Pacman won that decisively. BUT...that's why you do NOT put it in the judges hands.
Marquez pretty much dominated every round.
No. No he didn't
Marquez threw calculated counter punches, never hurt Pacquiao. As the announcers mentioned, Marquez's style is what makes him competitive. Manny landed many good punches of his own. Though he was the more active fighter, Pacquiao was more cautious in this one. He has much more to lose now than he did in his previous two fights. It's widely known that boxing experts share the belief that a challenger must TAKE the title from the champ. Marquez didn't do enough to convince the right people that he beat Pacquiao.

Pacquiao is just lulling Mayweather into feeling false confidence, at least enough to get into the ring so that we can finally see the fight that everyone wants.
Marquez fought on par with Manny but didn't actually beat him in my opinion. I thought that judges were going to give it to Marquez because he kind of stepped it up in the last couple of rounds. But looking at the activity level throughout the entire fight Manny seemed to be more of the aggressor (He was mostly stepping forward while Marquez was mostly stepping back/side). So I agree with the decision for him to get the win.
