Manny Pacquiao vs Marquez III Result - Manny Pacquiao Wins but Many Pinoys Disagree
Manny Pacquiao defeated Juan Manuel Marquez in their third face-off via majority decision with the scores 114-114, 115-113, 116-112 in favor of the Filipino boxing hero at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA on Saturday, November 12, 2011.
Manny Pacquiao eventually retained his WBO Welterweight crown after the judges gave their decision. Because it's not unanimous, boxing fans at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas are having question marks in their heads despite the fact that Manny Pacquiao himself declared: "It's very clear that I won the fight."
Pacquiao improved to 54 wins (38 knockouts) against three losses and two draws. Marquez, meanwhile, dropped to 53 wins (39 knockouts), 6 losses and 1 draw.
Despite the win and another pride moment for the Philippines, some Pinoy netizens are not in favor of the outcome.
Dj Bianca Frost, a Radio DJ, production director, writer at Magik 97.5 FM expressed her dismay in Starmometer.com:
"I am a pacfan, but I don't think he won against Juan Manuel Marquez. He knew it when he can't stand the interview nor the waving with the audience. the people knew it better. We are not the judges though," she commented.
"Had he lost according to the judges, he would eventually lost his WBO welterweight belt, his Pound per Pound no.1 status and his stocks."
"He didn't lose tonight."
"BUT HE LOST IN THE HEARTS OF THE MILLION VIEWERS."
"I still have faith in you Pac..hope it won't end like that next fight," she added.
Merman Dollentas from Alberta also shared the same sentiments.
"Di na kasalanan ni Pacquiao kung sya ang pinili ng mga judges...but I feel for Marquez kahit pa Pinoy ako...di kasi talaga convincing," he commented.
Did the judges score unfairly against Marquez?
How about you? Are you convinced with the result?
