Now if you are the challenger, you must be­ the aggressor (Pacquiao vs Cotto) in very close­ rounds the Champion gets the 10. In this­ case PACQUIAO (champion) was always aggressive while­ MARQUEZ (challenger) waits for an attack and­ counters. Marquez's body language fooled a lot of­ people. Making people feel that he was the winner or­ at least it was a draw. It may look like he was­ landing more punches. - effinecko

Marquez threw alot of punches during the first 3 rounds but few of them are connecting. As a Challenger you have to do better than out pointing your opponent. In my opinion Marquez was fighting defenssively letting Manny go after him instead of an all out brawl like they did in the past fights. If you look at the punches thrown by both fighters. They are way less than in their previous fights. Both are fighting defensively. This is not good for Marquez. - quickzilver333
