?To err is human, to forgive devine?. Northern Nevada boxing judge Bert Clements may have erred in his scoring of the Pacquiao ? Marquez fight, and everyone, except perhaps those in Pac Man?s camp, has forgiven him. Pacquiao would have won the title if Bert had scored the first round 10-6, the correct score, instead of 10-7.
The one point first round differential, if scored correctly, mainly shows that the fight was a lot closer then the 115-110 scores the other judges had it, in effect, all three judges were off in their scoring, as this may well become the 2004 fight of the year. Both of the other judges had it by three rounds, one for Marquez and the other for Pacquiao. The fight was far closer then that.
