Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez

[BaaBaa.]

I'm done with boxing, they may as well just decide the result before the fight.

I'm done with boxing

How many times have I said that over the years? I haven't seen it, but judging by the reports......

Amir Khan was quick with a 'told you so'.

I watched it on the ferry to Samui yesterday. For me Pac Man did what he had to do and out boxed the challenger. he was never once worried or hurt. The decision is a total and utter disgrace and has also finished world class boxing for me. You might as well watch American wrestling as it seems boxing is the exact rip off as well. For me the challenger has to beat the champ. he didn't come anywhere near to doing so.
A sad day for boxing fans around the world !

Even in the days of Don Cockell (Google it) it was said you had to knock the American out to be able to win in the USA.

Even in the days of Don Cockell (Google it) . . .

I bet he had big mussels . . . . .

Unfortunately boxing has been on a downward slope for years.
To many outsiders, to many different associations & to much money involved (in the wrong hands!)

Having seen the fight, i can only assume that all 3 judges must have nodded off at some point.
The minimum points margin in favour of Pacquiao should have been at least 4 & a clear unanimous points decision
A rematch is obviously gonna generate more money though

I remember him. Rocky M. gave him 15 lbs and beat the hell out of him.
Rocky only needed a decision 6 times in 49 fights.

I doubt a rematch would make a ton of $. Bradley has little or no fan base and offers little excitement. He is simply not a draw.
