PACQUIAO still the BEST!
objectively form most filipinos point of view, it looks as though marquez won the fight. he wasnt favored by the judges most probably because of the boring and unappealing nature of his boxing style. he could have knocked pacquiao out have he been a little more aggressive! that fight should serve as a lesson to him as most of his other fights always pale in comparison to pacquiao’s.
If Pacquiao had not decked Marquez but won the third round anyway, it would’ve been a split draw just like the outcome in their first fight. If Marquez won the third round, he would’ve won by majority decision.
Don’t forget that Pacquiao should’ve won the first meeting by a split decision four years ago. Burt Clements, the judge who had it a draw, admitted he made a mistake in shortchanging Pacquiao by a point in the first round when Marquez went down thrice but under boxing rules, the scorecard couldn’t be altered after the fact.
So if you really think about it, Pacquiao has effectively beaten Marquez twice.
The problem with some Filipino fans is they’ve been spoiled by Pacquiao and expect nothing less than a spectacular knockout in each of his fights.
Marquez is a tough opponent and because of his style, will always be difficult for Pacquiao to handle. Pacquiao could’ve done more things to win convincingly last Saturday – he could’ve used the right hand more, he could’ve hit and spun like he did in the second and third Erik Morales fights, he could’ve cut the ring off with more authority on Marquez to close the distance between them, he could’ve jabbed more, he could’ve attacked the body more consistently, he could’ve used more lateral movement instead of insisting on coming forward linearly.
There are so many other “could’ves†to cite but the fact is two of the three judges scored it for Pacquiao and he won, fair and square. Pacquiao earned the victory because he fought with the bigger heart, came back strong in the late rounds and every Filipino should be proud of his achievement in becoming the first Asian to win three world titles in different divisions. He bled for every one of his countrymen, he took Marquez’ hardest shots without backing down. You couldn’t ask anything more from a hero
Iam a filipino and an avid boxing fan. Although iam proud of pacquiaos accomplishmnets so far but he has failed to earn the ” hero” tag in my eyes. A hero does things beyond his capabilities and achieves. Manny is naturally strong and a natural born warrior. Plus earning millions sure helps as motivation. If manny displays behavior fit for a good role model then maybe i could consider the hero tag, but with millions of people in poverty, manny himself once was in that situation, manny should at least spend his manny wisely and help his fellow countrymen. Also do you all remember Dodie Boy Penalosa? The filipino champion with polio? Why not call him a hero?
