Why Manny Pacquiao Won? Manny knows…

The third bout between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez ended with so much controversy as some people thought that it was Marquez who really won the fight for the third times around, but the scorecard says it was still Pacquiao is the true winner. Although the fight finished until 12th rounds, the judges score showed that the Pound-for-Pound King was still the winner despite of the fact that some people see that it must be Marquez.

However, the scoring differs on how the judges see if a boxer really fights or not. In a 10-point score system, the fighter, who wins each round was given by perfect 10 score and the other fighter only got 9 points, if there was a knockdown in the round, the judges will give the fighter who knockdown his opponent he will be given 10 points while his opponent will get 8 points, and with two knockdowns the score will be 10-7.
