allow me to offer some insight into the 3rd fight - i too scored the bout 116-112 as did judge glenn trowbrige.
what i saw was jmm at times in the first 3-4 rounds attempt to be the aggressor while pacquiao systematically caved in jmms face with superior counter puching ability.
fearing pacquiao's power , jmm reverted to his counter punching style thus going back on his word that he would try to ko pacquiao. pacquiao won 5 of the last 8 rounds because i, like the judges favor the aggressor in close rounds.
Contrary to popular belief, jmm did not outbox pacquiao. he first failed miserably at the aggresor role, then went back to doing everything possible to avoid getting laid out, while occasionally landing "crisp, clean punches" which did not even leave a mark on pacquiaos face. Rather, it was the "semi-blocked punches" of pacquiao which left jmms face a horrible mess.
im sure judge glenn trowbridge and dave moretti would offer similar accounts.
as for the first 2 fights , i also had pacquiao winning those.
