Adamek vs Cunningham 2 - Press and Fan Scores
Well I've been pulled away from my Xmas holidays by the fans of my site and asked to collect scores for the Adamek-Cunningham fight that took place on national TV over there in the States. NBC made a welcome return to the sport as Adamek and Cunningham fought for the second time.
Lets make one thing clear, I HAVE NOT watched the fight so i cant really pass judgement on it. What i will do is list all the fight scores from the Press and Fans as many are saying Cunningham did more than enough to win. Add in a scoring mistake which made the Press/Fans even more angrier.
Below are all the scores i collected, 98 in total.
Press Score Total - (23), Cunningham (20), Adamek (1), Draw (2)
Fans Score Total - (75), Cunningham (65), Adamek (8), Draw (2)

Marquez Bombs Out Paquiao In 6
Juan Manuel Marquez described it as the perfect punch. You will have to look very long and hard to find any boxing fan who will disagree with the Mexican warrior. That punch, a huge right hand planted Manny Pacquiao face first onto the canvas at 2.59 of the 6th round. The crowd went crazy. The many Mexicans in this pro Marquez crowd at the MGM Grand Las Vegas had waited 10 years for this moment as Marquez finally after four fights got his hand raised in victory.
During the 5th round it looked as if Pacquaio was on his way to registering another win over Juan Manuel. Fighting with a broken nose and blood all splattered over his face, Marquez was having his worst round of the fight as he was floored and beaten around the ring. Marquez might not have been able to continue much longer as he was finding it hard to breath through his nose. His only respite was pushing the gumshield out helping him breathe.
This was in no way one sided. Marquez was only slightly behind on all three judges cards (47-46). The Mexican had also scored a one punch knockdown in the 3rd as a well placed wide right hook caught the 8 division champion flush and sending his down hard..
Pacquiao was the aggressor as expected in this fight. From the first round he went after Marquez with more ferocity than he has shown in his last 3-4 fights. The straight left was landing as early as late in the first round. It was enough to win him the round. Marquez though remained calm. The usual slow starter Marquez exploded into life in the third when he landed that right hand. I also gave Marquez the fourth as he began to counter the on rushing Pacquiao with some nice right hands and left hooks to the body.
The fight took another twist in the fifth as a straight left from Pacquiao scored a flash knockdown. Marquez fought back hard but Pacquiao was all over him scoring with both hands. The fans again were going crazy as both men fought toe to toe at the bell. What a war.
Some KO's can be described as spectacular. I don't even think that word does the KO of Pacquiao justice. If you ever want to see a perfectly timed counter right hand then watch the fight AND watch Juan Manuel Marquez who Jim Lampley of HBO rightly recognised as "The best counter puncher in boxing". Who can disagree after that perfect punch??.
Marquez will now go on vacation with his family and enjoy the biggest win of his career. In his interview with Larry Merchant on HBO, Marquez was non committal on a Marquez-Pacquiao 5 fight. Quite right too. I'm sure if these guys ever fight again then Marquez will make more than he has ever done before. If I'm Juan Manuel then I'd start the bidding at $10m. This Mexican Legend has nothing to prove.
What now of the whirlwind Manny Pacquiao? I think he was fighting very well before the KO. In fact i think Manny was having his best performance since the pre Mosley days. One thing is for certain, Manny will fight on. This again was confirmed on HBO but whether its Marquez will be up to Bob Arum. Manny wants the fight and i think the fifth fight makes more money than any of the previous four. Manny Pacquiao is also a warrior. I'm sure he will want his revenge. I'm sure he will also want Marquez to give him the chance to do so as well. Remember Manny picked this fight, he didn't need to take it. I'm glad he did as boxing won tonight. What a war AND what a fighter JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ IS.

Pacquaio vs Marquez 1,2,3 Scored and Stats
Since i started my fightscorecollector site, i have been asked 1 question the most, "how did you score the 3 Pacquiao vs Marquez fights?". It has been a while since i have watched all 3, in fact i have only watched the 3rd fight once and that was on a stream that wasn't the best. My response has always been that i have scored all 3 fights to Pacquiao. Going by memory i had the 1st 115-112 Pacquiao, the 2nd 114-113 Pacquiao and the 3rd 115-114 Pacquiao.
Well tonight in preparation for an overtime night shift on Tuesday which entails changing your body cock around twice in 24hrs, i thought lets do it, lets watch and score the 3 fights again. To my surprise i had Marquez winning one of the fights. The 2nd fight. What didn't surprise me was just how close each fight was. The stats i have for MY SCORING show that the 4th fight in my opinion will be EASILY as close. Nothing really has changed. Both fighters definitely showed signs of decline in the 3rd fight. Their punch average and overall fight was nowhere as good as the previous 2. Pacquiao-Marquez 4 will surely be closure on this fight series. I applaud Pacquiao for taking this match as Marquez without a doubt has given him his hardest fights in the last 8-10 years. Pacquiao could have fought Bradley again but wanted the decisive win against his very own Ken Norton.
Before you view my scorecards below here are the stats i mentioned above on how i scored the fight.
1. Total Rounds each fighter has won..... Pacquiao 16 , Marquez 18 , 2 draw
2. Total points accumulation in 3 fights...Pacquiao 342, Marquez 340
There is only a 2 point difference in 3 fights. That's why i cant understand why some Press but loads of fans think Pacquiao will win this fight by a much wider margin. Pacquiao has lost some of his leg speed so he cant close the distance as fast as he used to. This should help Marquez as he will look to counter for most of the fight. My problem with Marquez is his punch output. Yes he is accurate but in all 3 fights he hasn't matched the output by Pacquiao. Saying that in his last few fights Pacquiao's output has dropped BIG.
Who wins??? - if a gun was to my head id say Pacquiao in another very close points win although i wouldn't be surprised if history repeats itself and goes against Pacquiao just like what happened vs Bradley.
Below is my 3 scorecards for the Pacquiao-Marquez Trilogy

Mares Mauls Moreno - Now For Donaire
Abner Mares vs Anselmo Moreno - WBC Super Bantamweight Title
I am going to start this article with a moan. A massive moan in fact. James Jen-Kin one of the judges in the Mares-Moreno fight should be sacked right now. No messing about, SACKED. How an experienced judge can score the fight 120-106 for Mares just totally shocks me. This guy has been judging fights since the year i was born (1979 )going by boxrec records. Surely in 32 years he knows how to score a fight. Mares won every round? I'm sorry but NO. This looks like this guy has been paid (which i don't think he has) or he is just totally incompetent. I collected 34 press scores for this fight and not 1 of them had anything near the score that Jen-Kin displayed on Saturday night at the Staples Centre LA. I also collected over 50 scorecards from the boxing fans on twitter and on the numerous boxing forums I'm able to collect from and the biggest scorecards i got in favor of Mares were 117-109 and 117-110. These are not bad cards as they are only 1 round out from what many press and fans score this fight. But 120-106? No Chance.
Now onto the fight which for the first 1 or 2 rounds looked like it was going to be a messy affair with both fighters fouling and tackling each other to the canvas. Mares started like a man possessed. He went after Moreno setting a pace that the man from Panama probably has never experienced. Mares when he could tried to keep Moreno on the ropes and bash away at the WBA 118lb champions ribs. Moreno though was cute in the first few rounds as he was able to dance round the on rushing Mares landing some counter jabs and straight left hands. Mares had his first breakthrough in the 4th as for most of the round he was able to force Moreno to trade with him on the ropes. It was the type of fight Mares would need to win this fight.
The pressure continued in the 5th when near the end of the round under severe fire, Mares landed a quick straight right inside. Down went Moreno, he was hurt but luckily for him the round didn't have long left. The pro Mares crowd went crazy as in the 6th Mares continues to punish Moreno on the ropes. Body shots whacked in as Moreno covered up, Mares was in total control now as the light punching Moreno didn't have the arsenal to keep the marauding champion off him.
In the 7th the pace slowed. There was no chance Mares could have kept this up. The champion still moved forward looking for Moreno although this time he was being caught coming in with the right jab and the snappy straight left hand. Good round for Moreno keeping him in the fight. The 8th round was probably the best of the fight as both guys traded when inside. To the surprise of many watching the fight Moreno was getting the best of it landing some nice left hooks, one of them stopping Mares in his tracks. This brought Moreno even closer on my card (77-75 Mares).
The 9th and 10th rounds have went either way. Both were fighting hard although at a slower tempo. I can see how these rounds could have went to one or the other fighter though. Some fans and press liked the walk forward style of Mares, he could have won both rounds because he was the aggressor. I gave both fighters a round a piece as in the 9th i felt that Moreno was picking the now slower Mares off coming in and was matching his inside work.
Controversy reigned in the 11t as referee Raul Caiz Jnr took a point off Moreno for pushing Mares head down when inside fighting was taking place. It was a harsh call especially as Mares was guilty of more than a few low blows and was boring in with his head constantly. Wrong decision from the ref which could have caused Moreno the fight. Moreno to his credit rallied in the 11th and took a share on my scorecard 9-9.
The atmosphere was electric as the 12th round started. It had been an enjoyable fight from 2 very good champions. Mares looked tired though, his previous efforts especially in the first half of the fight seemed to take most of his energy. Moreno was now happy as he was able to catch Mares quite easily. Mares speed of foot was gone as he could only follow Moreno around the ring instead of drive him to the ropes. Moreno easily won the round as long jabs and hooks were by far the cleaner punches of the round. The final bell rang and on my scorecard i wasn't sure who had won. Below you will see my full scorecard, certainly nothing like THAT shocking 120-106 card posted by James Jen-Kin.

Dr Steelhammer Dominates Dr Iron Chin
Wladimir Klitschko vs Mariusz Wach - WBA, WBO, IBF Heavyweight Title
Tonight in Hamburg Germany Wladimir Klitschko was made to go the distance in a World Heavyweight Title defence for only the 3rd time as he pounded out an unanimous 12 rounds points win against over-matched but Iron Chinned Mariusz Wach. Klitschko won 35 of the 36 rounds on the judges cards, this easily showed how dominant a performance this was from the long time champ.
This was Klitschko's first fight since the death of legendary trainer Manny Steward. It was also the first time in 6 foot 6 Klitschko fought an opponent that was bigger than him. Wach Born in Poland but now fighting out of New jersey USA stood a massive 6 foot 7 and a half inches. Could Wach use his height and reach advantage to cause the upset??. NO, Wladimir took control from the first bell as he fired jab after jab at the slower Wach followed by hard right hands that were Knocking the bigger man's head back. The fight continued the same way with Klitschko moving around the ring landing at will with his jab and right hand. The only problem was that Wach was still there taking shot after shot.
Near the end of the 5th round Wach landed a huge straight right that put Wladimir to the ropes. Wach went for the kill but Wladimir showed all his experience by easily tying Wach up and seeing out the round. The crowd and the watching millions then expected Wach to go after the champion in the 6th. It wasnt the case as Dr Steelhammer came out faster landing even more jabs and straight right hands. In the 8th round Wladimir gave Wach that much of a beating it looked like American Ref Eddie Cotton might stop the fight. Wladimir battered Wach that much in round 8 that many press and fans scored the round 10-8. On my fightscorecollector card i gave Klitschko the extra point.
The 9th was a slower paced round as Wladimir probably feeling the effects of his efforts was content to jab and land the occasional straight right. Its at this point that i think Wladimir realised that Wach was not going to be stopped. Rounds 11 and 12 were mirror images as Kitschko moving around the ring well for a big guy (247lbs) landed his favorite combination , the 1-2 time after time. Wach was now a punching bag, his work rate dropping round after round. Wach in the last 2 rounds must have thrown less than 10 punches. When the final bell rang there was no doubt who the winner was. Wladimir Klitschko will now look for a viable challenger whilst Wach will probably land more big fights due to his durability.
Below is my scorecard along with all the press and fan scores i was able to collect for this fight.

Gavin wins British Title In A Snoozer
Junior Witter vs Frankie Gavin - British Welterweight Title
In his 13 fights previously and I'm guessing for the rest of his career, Frankie Gavin will not come across a more awkward and frustrating fighter in Junior Witter. Tonight at the famous York Hall Bethnal Green, Birmingham's Gavin ground out a 12 round unanimous decision over the former WBC lightwelterweight champion.
They say styles make fights??. Well this fight will not be on any highlight reel although in Gavin's case it was more important to get the win, rather than look good. In fact as John Rawling mentioned on the Boxnation televised show," Does anybody look good vs Junior Witter"?.
The first 3-4 rounds were fought at a very slow pace with little or nothing landing of quality. These rounds could have went either way although on my card i had Gavin winning 3 of the first 4 rounds due to the right hook landing once in a while. Round 5 started with a double straight left from southpaw Gavin. Witter responded with his own straight left. Was it finally heating up? NO it wasn't as Gavin began to push the 38 year old Witter back but again nothing of note was really landing.
From the 7th round onwards it was all Gavin who continually pushed Witter back lunging in with crude body shots followed by the odd right hook. By this time Witter started clowning about probably knowing the fight wasn't going the way he wanted. This prompted Referee Marcus McDonnell to deduct a point in the 10th as Witter stopped the action on numerous occasions.
In possibly the last round of his career Witter danced, switched his feet constantly and basically began messing Gavin about. For some strange reason it worked as Gavin didn't land any effective punches. Witter won the round as he was able to land his jab, something that he was unable to do for the previous 11 rounds.
After 12 rounds that many would rather forget, Frankie Gavin was proclaimed the champion by the 3 judges. Gavin will now hope to more active and at 27 must be hitting the peak years in his career. Witter must now retire. I cant see many younger guys wanting to fight him due to his style. Witter has done himself proud though winning the WBC 140lb Title along with the British, European and Commonwealth straps at 140. Add another British title at 147 and you can see that Witter has had a more than decent career.
