Rewatching Pacquiao's fights down the years

[Chrismart]

Felt like watching a career set over a few nights. Was initially thinking of watching De La Hoya's defining fights. But with Pacquiao set to take part in his farewell fight soon, i thought i'd rewatch some of his old fights.

I got started last night. I'm going to focus on his wins, and more exciting fights.. and so far, so good, i'm enjoying catching up on some fights i've not seen in a while.

Pacquiao Vs Ledwaba - W TKO 6 - June 2001

Pacquioa's American debut. He took the fight on 2 weeks notice and came in as the betting underdog. On a card that featured De La Hoya, and a young Jermaine Taylor.
Pacquiao picked up the IBF Super Bantamweight title after dropping Ledwaba 3 times.
It's quite amusing listening to Lampley and Foreman trying to get to grips with the pronunciation of 'Pacquiao'

Pacquiao Vs Marquez I - SD - May 2004



6 Months after beating Barerra, Pacquiao faces fellow Mexican Marquez in the first of their 4 meetings.
JMM is down 3 times in the first round of a fight that splits fans opinions.

Scoring controversy :
Judge Guy Jutras scored the fight 115-110 for Marquez, while judge John Stewart scored it 115-110 for Pacquiao.
The third judge, Burt Clements, had a 113-113 tie. His scoring included a 10-7 opening round because, he admitted later, he did not realize he could give a 10-6 round. If Clements had scored the opening round 10-6, as the other two judges had, Pacquiao would have won by 113-112 on Clements's card and earned a split decision.
"I just screwed up," Clements said. "I feel badly because I dropped the ball, plainly and simply. You can make a lot of arguments that it was a very close fight, but that's immaterial. The fact is, I dropped the ball."
Marc Ratner, the executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, ruled that Clements's admission was no grounds for a protest.
