But I’m not in the business of changing my scorecards just to see a result after the fact. So I have it 114-114.

Official scorecards: 114-114, 115-113, 116-112, winner by Majority Decision…. Manny Pacquiao!

Wow. Another razor-thin fight and Marquez gets the worst of the scorecards. Pacquiao wins the fight, and I can’t argue too much with the verdict, I had it 6-6, so 7-5 to him is fair enough. But as I said, if I could have changed a round, it would have been in Marquez’s favor. Clearly Marquez and his camp are going to feel they were wronged in this one, yet again, for the third time.

Marquez leaves the ring after the decision, not sticking around for the interviews. Pacquiao gets interviewed by Kellerman, and he gets booed rowdily by the Mexican fans. He says he surely won, but he acknowledges that Marquez is a difficult opponent for him. He’s very unhappy that he’s receiving boos, it’s unsettling him.

Kellerman catches up with Marquez in the training room, and he of course feels he clearly won. When asked if he’d like another fight with Pacquiao in the future, he says he doesn’t know. He feels defeated in having a fair shot to really win the fight. He says he might even retire. He’s emotional right now, obviously.

They question Beristain about telling Marquez he was up on the scorecards, and maybe he should have pressed him on more.

That wraps it up for the evening.

Timothy Bradley vs. Joel Casamayor

Rd 1: I’m just hoping that this match doesn’t kill all of the excitement in the arena, and all of my own buzz. First two fights were great, it’d be nice to keep it up. At the start of round 1, both guys are throwing a lot. Bradley looking quick, Casamayor eager to throw too. And the headbutts start. Then Bradley staggers Casamayor with a nice right. Good opener for Desert Storm.

Rd 2: Casamayor is throwing those headbutts, no question about it. Bradley trying to pick up his aggression. Coming forward, getting off first, landing a bit and staying busy. His round.

Rd 3: Bradley buzzing Casamayor a few times here in round 3. Geez, 65-years-old Casamayor wasn’t a competitive guy to put in with the top junior welterweight in the world. Who guessed it?

Rd 4: Bradley just keeping it moving, doing good work. Landing some good shots, coming forward. Casamayor throwing more head butts than punches, just about. He looks gassed already. Casamayor also lost a point for the headbutts.

Rd 5: Bradley sits Casa down with a body shot. He gets up slowly around the count of 7. Bradley threw a brutal 4 punch combo to the body, then came back upstairs. He’s just going to town.

Rd 6: Bradley knocks Casamayor down again at the start of the 6th. Casamayor disagrees, but it was a legit KD.

Rd 7: For what it’s worth, upon viewing the replay, looks like the knockdown last round shouldn’t have counted. Whatever at this point. Bradley still dominating. In the 8th, Bradley puts Casamayor down again, and Casa’s corner waves it off. Finally. What a waste.

Bradley TKO8 Casamayor

Mike Alvarado vs. Breidis Prescott

On the unofficial scales for the evening, these two guys are middleweights at 157 lbs. Alvardo comes out to some Tupac. Nice. Announcers forgetting that Prescott lost his last fight, maybe that’s why the buzz died for a Khan rematch. Of course, a win here would get that going again. Here we go…

Rd 1: Alvarado working with a very high, tight guard. Prescott throwing a lot, using a solid jab to dictate. Goes to the body, pushes off, and keeps working. Alvarado starting very slow. Round for Prescott, Alvardo did nothing.

Rd 2: Prescott busier and throwing first. Alvardo better get busy or he’s going to find himself down by a wide margin. Taking that cue, Alvarado begins throwing more, using his jab. Prescott doing good work on the inside. His round again.

Rd 3: Alvarado much busier to start the third. Doubling and tripling up his jab, bouncing around on his toes, moving around. Not holding the guard as high. Prescott lands a nice uppercut to the chin. He gets warned for throwing low. Alvardo lands a right and an uppercut, Prescott answers to the body. Things picking up. Close round.

Rd 4: Prescott opens up and hurts Alvarado. Wow, Alvarado is all sorts of busted up. He is bleeding bad, either a terrible cut over his eyes or a broken nose, or both. He’s a mess right now. Doesn’t seem like he can see the punches coming right now with the blood. Blood everywhere. Alvarado lands a left hook that slows Prescott down. Lands another two to close the round. They trade after the bell, getting heated.

The cut is directly on his left eyelid. The worst place possible. They better get that closed up or this fight could be done.

Rd 5: Alvarado doing good work to try to get into the fight. Prescott warned for going low again, and is slowing down a bit after his fast start. Alvarado still bleeding bad though. But he’s opening up and going for it. Lands a hard left hook on the break. Alvarado’s best round of the fight.

Rd 6: Alvarado keeping up the good work in round 6. His straight right is landing. He’s getting in an uppercut in close quarters. But Prescott throwing big uppercuts too. He has slowed down though, needs his second wind, Alvarado getting the better of him right now despite the cuts. They are standing toe to toe, forehead to forehead, and just trading uppercuts. Lots of great action here, turning into a very good fight.

Rd 7: Action stopped to get some loose tape cut off. These two working more from the outside more. Prescott looking pretty gassed right now. Now they’re back to close quarters. Alvarado’s team has done a good job with that cut, but it still gets reopened every round. Alvarado the bull right now. Likely his third straight round. But his face is wrecked.

Rd 8: “Uppercut City” according to Jim Lampley. Agreed. these two love trading uppercuts. Prescott now looks to be cut as well. But Alvarado looks like a different person right now than he began the night. Prescott seems to have found some more energy right now. Alvarado maintaining better form. Close round, good action. Probably to Alvarado.

Rd 9: Alvarado feeling so good now he’s back to bouncing around on his toes. Prescott just so much less crisp than he was early on in the fight. Alvarado pumping the jab. Back and forth, both guys looking tired now, action has slowed. That’s a close round that could swing this fight, maybe to Prescott, in which case we have it 5-4 for Breidis.

Rd 10: Prescott getting back to his jab here in the 10th. It’s working for him. Also throwing big to the body. Alvarado lands a nice right. Prescott keeps digging to the body. Alvarado answering to the head with more rights. Nonstop trading. Alvarado hurts him with an uppercut, then puts him down! That’s huge! Lands another huge uppercut, and a few more. Prescott is badly hurt, almost ends up through the ropes. Prescott getting continually staggered. Jay Nady stops it! He calls it off, and Prescott argues and then collapses into his corner in distress. What a comeback by Alvarado! Great stuff!

Alvarado TKO10 over Prescott… and his cornermen and cutman deserve as much credit as anyone. Amazing they were able to get that cut closed and kept it under control. Alvarado really proves his mettle here. Impressive all the way around, and a great battle.

Juan Carlos Burgos vs. Luis Cruz

We learn that Burgos is 133 lbs unofficially tonight, and Cruz is all the way up to 139 lbs…

Cruz looks sharp right from the start. He gives Burgos a bloody nose midway through the first round. Cruz trying to time Burgos, both guys letting their hands go. Burgos throws an 8 punch combo, not allowing Cruz to counter, and lands to the body. Cruz faster, but Burgos is lankier.

In round two, Burgos looking to land the overhand right, and continues throwing to the body. When Cruz gets off first, he looks great. Better to tag Burgos then let him start throwing big combinations. At the end of the round, Burgos tags Cruz with a big left that staggers him. Cruz had been winning the round, but that was the best shot of the night so far.

At the start of the round, Burgos staggers Cruz again. He looks more hesitant now, and is holding his gloves up high. Then starts throwing his jab more. Burgos has no answer for the Cruz jab. Cruz backs straight up though and gets tagged by left hooks when he does. Close round, and close, entertaining fight so far. All as expected.

Things slowed down a bit in the fourth, and that was to Cruz’s benefit. He dictated most of the action in the stanza. In the fifth, Burgos begins opening up more, and Cruz answers him, standing toe to toe. Burgos stands him up with a left hook. Cruz just following Burgos around now though as Burgos jumps in, throws a shot, dances around and reloads. Good Burgos round.

Burgos staying much busier in the sixth. Cruz looks like he’s a bit lost in there. Doesn’t know what to do. Surprised to see Burgos using so much movement. Cruz gets him against the ropes and lands a nice right. Not enough there though. Burgos sticking and moving, then opening up with longer combos.

7th has slowed a bit again, which as usual, is more to Cruz’s advantage. Is Burgos gassing? Throwing less and dancing more. Cruz coming forward with aggression. They trade sloppy big shots. Cruz also looks tired. Burgos still looking tired in the 8th, allowing Cruz to dictate, get off first and land some shots. Two rounds left, this one is up in the air.

Burgos lands a big right in the first 30 seconds of round 9. Later on, lands two thudding body shots. Burgos also lands a nice left hook at the end of the stanza. Definitely his round.

Both guys swinging for the fences in the 10th. Cruz looks the stronger of the two now, but not really landing anything great. Cruz ends the fight with a badly swollen right eye, Burgos also bruised and swollen a bit. Close fight, I think Burgos won more rounds though by being busier and landing harder shots.

Official Scorecards: 95-95, 97-93, 98-92 for Juan Carlos Burgos
