You Be The Judge : Why Manny Won
In a 10-point system, the boxer who wins a round is given 10 points, and the other boxer gets nine points. (10 -9)
If there was a knockdown in the round (10-8)
2 knock downs (10-7)
If a judge can't decide who won the round, it is scored 10-10.
Now if you are the challenger, you must be the aggressor (Pacquiao vs Cotto) in very close rounds the Champion gets the 10. For example if Pacquiao would just stay still and Marquez does not attack, Pacquiao gets the 10 and Marquez 9. In this case Manny (champion) was always aggressive while Marquez (challenger) waits for an attack and counters.
Marquez's body language fooled a lot of people. Making people feel that he was the winner or at least it was a draw. It may look like he was landing more punches but the tricky part here is he was on the defensive, luring Pacquiao into his tactical traps (remember the challenger must be the one who is aggressive to be awarded 10 ). So even if Marquez did connect more punches, he gets only 9 for being defensive and Manny gets the 10 for being the attacker.
Pacquiao got more "10"s than Marquez. Manny wins.
Why Manny won? "Manny knows..."
So now I know why The Duck King GayWeather doesn't want to fight the PacMan. He will be the challenger and he is a counter-puncher while PacMan will always be the aggressor. There's no way that The Duck King can win the fight with Pacman.
The Duck King wants the undefeated record, not the sports for Boxing.
