I gotta admit, I really liked the draw decision, I was so surprised they didnt give Manny the decisoin, even though I really fell in love with Marquez after that fight. That was one of the grittiest performances I've ever seen, to be rocked and embarrassed the way he was in the first round, his nose was obviously destroyed, bleeding like crazy and swallowing his blood, this guy put himself back to together, and outboxed Manny for the next 7 out of 11 rounds imo. I remember telling my girlfriend next to me a year ago or so, watching Marquez fight, I told her he's the most skilled featherweight in the world, and nobody knows it. I knew he was bette rthan that first round, and no doubt about it Manny is a freakin hurricane, but Ill stick with Marquez for the longroad. I dunno, I thought that was something special Marquez did. Didn't really care for Manny's BS excuse that he hurt his foot 2 weeks ago, that wasn't very classy. I didnt think he told it like it was to Larry.
Ok the scoring. I might take heat for this. Not that it matters, but I won't score a 10-6 round period. Manny probably won by a point but I don't care, Marquez deserved to leave with his titles, and I guarentee Marquez would take the rematch with less problems than he had tonight. My 2 cents
