Recah Trinidad came up with his verdict: Marquez won. It is easier to say that when you are seated in front of the TV and has the chance to rewind it. But one thing I am sure of, this is where the sport caster's opinion would lead you. It is also a world apart from the situation of the judges.
If you are seated next to the boxers, it will be a different situation. It will be an entirely different perspective. You cannot rewind and you can see them face up. You give your judgment and you give out your grade. There are lots of things to take into consideration.
I remember the first Marquez-Pacquiao match. Pacquiao would have won that encounter had judge Burt Clemens rightly scored the first round 10-6 instead of 10-7. This should also remind Marquez that he retained that crown because of the judges scores. Now that the scores are not coming his way, he starts whining.. what a loser.
The recent fight can go either way. These are two entirely different boxing styles. It is natural to get contrasting verdict.
The judges deserves the merit of being a judge by profession. Trinidad is a reporter and he deserves the merit of a reporter. To say his personal bias and wants the world to take it as gospel truth... that is not reporting.
Trinidad can keep on whinning... it is his opinion. I saw the fight three times yesterday... i can say that there is half truth to what Trinidad said. Half because there was something more in winning the boxing than outpunching your opponent just as there are 12 rounds in the said fight. As a boxing afficionado, Trinidad should have known it: what matters most is not his opinion but the opinion of the judges.
After 24 rounds and 4 knockout.... it should be a finished business... or maybe let them meet 3 years after. Huh? Let us see who is a better boxer by that time.
