This past Saturday night (Nov. 12, 2011) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, Juan Manuel Marquez did everything he could to knock off Filipino fighting machine, Manny Pacquiao, in a 12 round slugfest for the ages.
But he just couldn't do it.
Marquez fought valiantly, taking the fight the distance and breaking UFC President Dana White's old rule to never leave it in the hands of the judges. Perhaps he should have taken White's advice, too, seeing as he feels he was "robbed" for a third time.
The bout was close, with pundits and fans split down the middle in their opinion of who won. It was a classic battle but it was also controversial, if only for the outcry of support for Marquez.
There was plenty to talk about after all was said and done. Let's get to it:

That's it from us, Maniacs. Obviously the big story coming out of this event was the controversial nature of the fight. How did you score it? Did Marquez do enough to win? Or is Pacquiao still the king?
Sound off!

Decent undercard and a good main event
JMM did very well but didn’t put his combonations together and faded that last three rounds. It wasa Manny win but JMM was very valiant.
Timothy Bradley is a good boxer and put away Casmayror (mispelled) but it shouldn’t have gone to the 8th.
I guess all that is really left without doubt in Mayweather versus Pacquiao in March or May. If that doesn’t happen expect Kahn (with a win over Peterson) to face Money and Bradley to fight Manny later next year
"with a good physique and explosiveness anybody can perform a takedown"

Why are they trying to keep the hype up for a Manny vs Floyd fight? if it happens it happens but they shouldn’t punish Marquez just to make that fight interesting. People will watch the Pac vs Floyd fight regardless. Marquez truly won this fight and should be 2-1 verse Pac. I think this rivalry between Marquez and Pac is just like the rocky vs apollo fights on tv. Its a fight people would love to see the best out of seven. i would pay to see pac vs marquez more times than pac vs floyd.
The english guys commentating the stream I was watching were going off about how much of a robbery this was as were the guys hosting the post show. Khan was commentating on that stream and seem to think Pac needed the ko or he was going to lose the dec also but that could of been from influence of the guy commentating with him who was screaming like hell anytime JMM landed the least little punch on Pac. It was not Pac’s best showing but if you look at the scorecards Pac out landed him and by looking at JMM’s face after the fight it was a win for Pac albeit not one of his best.
