Here's the official scorecard from Pacquiao-Marquez III. The

The Telegraph had it as a draw, 114-114. I gave Pacquiao
rounds 3,4,6,10,11 and 12; Marquez 1,2,5,7,8 and 9.
Here are the punch statistics:
Pacquiao ------------------ Marquez
578 TOTAL PUNCHES 436
176 TOTAL PUNCHES CONN 138
304 JABS THROWN 182
58 JABS CONN. 38
274 POWER PUN THROWN 254
117 POWER PUN CONN. 100
AVERAGE PER ROUND: Pacquiao landed 17 per round from 49
thrown, Marquez 11 from 36 thrown.
On final analysis, in a close fight there are always doubts.
The judges make a decision based on individual rounds and hand their scores in
each round. Over the generality of the fight, Marquez looked the more
impressive; Pacquiao came on strong at the end. But all judging is subjective.
