I miss some fights also. It's easy to do, boxing gets so damn little coverage aside from websites...
You are right, the first fight was a draw. I just had Manny winning on my card. The fight pretty much came down to whether or not you scored that first round blitz 10-7 or 10-6.
Definitely try to watch the rematch on youtube. Marquez fought an excellent fight, but the 3rd round knockdown for Manny was a beauty.
I'd be shocked if Shane fought Williams. Long rangy guys with good technical skills are all wrong for him (Forrest and Winky).
Shane put on a clinic for the ages against Margarito. I've always been a Sugar fan, so that softened the blow a little when I lost my "over" bet. It was amazing seeing him absolutely obliterate the guy who steamrolled Cotto.
I would have scored that round a 10-6 myself. I am not a judge though. I could not see giving Marquez the win because of the first but he damn sure deserved the draw. To come back from a round like that take a hell of a performance and I think he did it. Marquez has great skill but nowhere near the chin of Manny. That is why I am so impressed with his performances against Manny. He has been the only one in my eye to give the modern Manny any trouble. I hope they fight again. Still have to catch the second.
I agree that Williams is the wrong guy for Mosley. He looked damn good against Margarito. I thought I had heard the other day that they were scheduled to fight. I was wrong. I think it would be interesting but hard to prejudge. I am trying to remember who Teddy Atlas said was going to fight on the last fight night I watched. It was a pretty good one that is supposed to happen in june.
