The most anticipated match of the year was filled again with questions. Did Pac deserves the win? Was Dinamita robbed big time? Will a 4th match happen in May? or Mayweather will now face Pac after witnessing Pac's vulnerability?
After watching the bout, I felt JuanMa deserves the win. He controlled the tempo of the bout. Pac was not his usual self, yes he still led in number of punches, but even a 15 year old boxing fan will notice Pacman's lack of activity. And maybe in that reason alone I really thought JuanMa was robbed, but still there's something in my head saying that Pac maybe did something right to be able to get the Judges' approval.
If this match was a "Normal" Match, I will give this bout to JMM. But we must remember that this was a Championship match. The Logic will tell that "To be able to beat the Champion, You must DOMINATE the champion". So the question now, did JuanMa dominated Manny? You'll be the judge.
Stats:
Power Punches Thrown: Pac -274 Juanma - 254
Power Punches Connected: Pac - 117 Juanma - 100
Total Thrown: Pac - 578 Juanma - 436
Total Connected: Pac - 176 Juannma - 138
(The numbers tell it all)
And with that, I will left my FINAL decision, " JuanMa clearly won the bout, but by not dominating it we must Give the win to Pac."
