Juan Manuel Marquez Claims He Was Robbed the 2nd Time
Juan Manuel Marquez was furious over his controversial defeat to Manny Pacquiao in their third face-off at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on November 13, Sunday night.
Juan Manuel Marquez lost to Pacquiao via majority decision from the judges who gave their scores 114-114, 115-113, 116-112, two of them, in favor of the Filipino boxing hero.
Marquez insisted that he was robbed and accused the two members of the judging panel, Glenn Trowbridge (116-112 ) and Dave Moretti (115-113), of conspiring with Pacquiao
as they both scored in favor of the Filipino boxing hero. The third judge, Robert Hoyle, called it a draw (114-114).
“It’s the second robbery of the fights we’ve had, and I think this one was even clearer than the first,” Marquez said after the fight.
“It’s hard when you’re fighting against a rival and you’re fighting against three judges also.” he added.
Furthermore, the Mexican fans who watched the bout live in Las Vegas were also furious about the result.
According to a report by Bev Llorente of ABS-CBN North America News Bureau, the Mexican audience created a scene outside the arena to protest the defeat of their boxer, Juan Manuel Marquez.
