        If Pacquiao is moaning about dodgy looking scorecards, someone should show him the Marquez scorecard which had numbers scratched out all over the place etc.

          Not the best quality but a link to the full fight if anyone hasn't seen it.

          Will be gone soon so get on it sharpish.

            I agree, but two wrongs don't make a right and all that.

              I'll hold my hands up and say the commentary clouded my judgement last night. I decided to watch the fight again and muted my laptop (it was boring like ) but it had to be done. I know people will disagree but I honestly think theres a case for Manny winning the fight 115-113 as opposed to the ridiculous scoring of hbo and primetime.

                It wasn't as bad as the Marquez fight imo. Watch the fight again, in silence if you have to lol, and you will clearly see Manny taking his foot off the pedal after 6 rounds.

                  Boxing is littered with shocking decisions, I think this was a poor one but there have been far worse over the years.

                  Manny should have won but then JMM should have won against him, Lewis should have won the first Holyfield fight and it goes on.

                  Boxing is all about people like Bob Arum & DOn King who care very little about boxing itself and do whatever suits best to make more money

                    Ludicrous decision. Manny won the fight and when he stepped up the pace, he was on a different level.

                    Boxing is ****ing ****.

                      I don't get the point in boxing any more. The best fighter, on the night doesn't win and people argue "it's happened before" like that's an argument for it being okay. I'm done with the sport. Not an overreaction to this fight, its just the straw that broke the camels back..

                        Quigg v Munroe tonight should be a good match up

                          Just getting going and a nasty cut for Munroe after a clash of heads stops the fight

                            Sky have told Ricky Hatton and Frank Maloney that they wont be renewing the promotion deals passed the current contracts so the next David Price fight wont be with them

                            They are not going to have much top level boxing left if they keep going like this

                            Maybe done all the cash on Football and F1?

                              Just when Sky were really helping the boxing revival as well. Ringside is a fantastic show and I hope it stays!

                                sky have overpaid on the football and have said they have to make cutbacks elsewhere to finance this new premier league deal
