Many say Pacquiao won, some say judging was fair

YESTERDAY?S result of the championship fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez drew howls from majority of Filipinos ? boxing aficionado or not.

But there were also those, including some who watched the match at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, who believed it was a just decision.

?In Las Vegas there are a lot of f??d up decisions. I saw too many of them,? said Stonewall Boxing Club patron Terry Lee Carter. ?There?s a reason why one judge?s score is different from another. But in my own view if a fighter is knocked down three times in a round, it must be a one hell of a comeback to win or to draw the fight. He needs to win too many rounds before he can get what he wants.?
