Description : Here we have an official 50 page MGM Grand fight program for the showdown held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena Las Vegas.
Another great fight that I was so fortunate to be in attendance at the MGM grand Garden Arena. I myself thought that Marquez had pinched it, what with being surrounded by 1000's of screaming Mexicans! but on reviewing it on tape in the safety of my own home, I had Manny the winner!
Even though Pacquiao won a close MD decision, Marquez's fans in the audience believed Marquez had won the fight. Some of the audience reacted to the decision by hurling food, beer, and ice; a can of beer hit a ringside writer. The Ring, which produces its own version of boxing's lineal championships, scored the bout in different ways: its editor, Michael Rosenthal, scored the bout 115-113 for Pacquiao; two of its writers, Lem Satterfield and Mike Koppinger, scored the bout 117-111 and 115-113 for Marquez, respectively, and another writer, Doug Fischer scored it a draw. Some Filipino TV news networks and their internet news websites showed photos of Marquez stepping on Pacquiaos foot 6 times. Judges scores were as follows: | judge: Dave Moretti 115-113 | judge: Robert Hoyle 114-114 | judge: Glenn Trowbridge 116-112
