Pacquiao vs Marquez 4 Who Wins? Winner Result?

UPDATE: Marquez Wins! Knockout Pacquiao KO!

Female anchor: Who wins and why?

Teddy Atlas: You know what? That’s the wrong question.

Female anchor: Tell me, tell me what it is?

Teddy Atlas: The right question is who gets the decision? I think the guy who wins is the man who won the last two times. I mean that’s Juan Manuel Marquez. But with this corrupt and incompetent judges that have been around in my business unfortunately for a long time. Do they finally give it to the right guy? That’s the question. The first one is a draw and the last two fights is obviously a decision for Pacquiao. I think Marquez won those last two fights.

Stephen A. Smith: Teddy I need you to look at your right to Skip Bayless. And skip, I need you to remind of Teddy what I’ve been telling you. I told Skip that Marquez won the last fight. Marquez will probably win this fight by decision, only to have the judges rob him, and give it to Pacquiao. It wouldn’t surprise me at all.

Skip Bayless: Did you say probably? Why don’t you go out on your limit and say definitely.

Stephen A. Smith: Well, I can’t say definitely that the judges are going to rob somebody, even though I believe that to be the case. But I definitely believe that Marquez will outbox Pacquiao. He will win by decision. But they will give the decision to Pacquiao. I believe that.

Stephen A. Smith: Like I said, the question is not whose going to win. Who’s going to get the decision with these judges? I’m hoping that if Marquez win again, that he actually gets it, the judges should do their job. These fighters have done a good job. The judges haven’t done a good job.

Female anchor: In your gut, will the judges do the right thing, in your opinion?

Teddy Atlas: Look, you guys talk about the NBA a lot. And last week you got Povovich, the great coach of the Spurs. You got a situation where he rested these guys and they came down very heavy on ‘em. They said that they were hurting the integrity of the league by not playing those 3 guys. Why did they do that? Because there is a commission to police basketball. There is not national commission to police boxing. There’s nobody there to make sure that judges that get it wrong are never in that position to hurt fighters again. My sport needs a national commission. And I’m damn tired of it.

Stephen A. Smith: Amen.

Teddy Atlas: And we will continue to have fighters who will be robbed when they shouldn’t be robbed.

Female anchor: What do you think of the decision?

Skip Bayless: Okay, I’m gonna have to disagree with a man I respect a lot Teddy. My eyes told me that Pacquiao (and I’m a Pacquiao supporter), I thought he won the last two fights fair and square. I thought that the greatest robbery that I’ve seen in any sport was the Bradley fight. If you want to talk robbery I think we all agree that even Stephen A agree with me when we are at the NBA finals (remember that), that was flat out robbery. I still don’t get it.

Stephen A. Smith: Well, no question.

Teddy Atlas: Look whether you leave in the bag with a truck and taken everything out, or whether you’ve taken just a few bags of money out, it still robbery. Maybe in the case of Marquez and Pacquiao, there was only a couple of bags of money taken out, not the whole bricks of truck. But it still robbery.

Skip Bayless: Okay, I respect that. But I’m here to remind you. Marquez is now 39 years of age. Are you telling me Pacquiao is done?

Teddy Atlas: That’s a good point. One thing I’m worry about is that Marquez suddenly gets old. Even though he’s as closer to 40 as he’s ever been in his life now. That is a concern. And he dissipated a little bit in the stretch in the last fight. He slowed down, and that can be age, but I don’t see him as a used up guy, I don’t see him as a spent guy. If that happens when he gets in the ring, all bets are off, and he becomes an old man. Put that aside, I think he always does what he always does. He will find a way to negate the faster guy. There’s no doubt faster is a lot faster.

Skip Bayless: Faster and stronger.

Teddy Atlas: But timing and counterpunching and intellect.

Skip Bayless: He’s got all that. It’s a great match up.

Teddy Atlas: That can negate physical talents that Pacquiao has. And Marquez has done it before. And I expect him to do it again. And one other reason, the mental part. You know this business, 75% mental, so when you look at that. Marquez has more reason, more urgency because of his legacy. This is about his legacy. From a mental standpoint, from an emotional standpoint there’s more on the line for him that it is for Pacquiao. Pacquiao is a congressman, he’s an actor, he’s a singer, and he’s all those things. He’s got a lot of things going in his world. For Marquez, it’s all about this decisions before he goes off into the sunset. It’s about the rest of his life.

Skip Bayless: I’m telling you that it’s the same exact psychology for Pacquiao right now. You think he wants to go out with two straight losses and to no Mayweather fight. It’s hanging in the balance.

Teddy Atlas: He’s an icon in his country. It takes a little bit of the pain that Marquez will feel. Marquez will feel the full pain.

Skip Bayless: I will give you this - Manny Pacquiao’s heart has not been in his five last fights. To me he’s threading water, waiting for the guy who’s running from him right now who is Floyd “Money” Mayweather. He’s done everything he can. He came on our show and said hey I’ll blood test, I’ll needle test, day of the fight right after the fight, I’ll give him 55 percent of the purse, let’s do it now. And “Money” (makes a chicken sound), keeps running away from him, and it’s driving him nuts. And now he’s been called by his own coach, saying well maybe we’re close to being done here. Maybe he’s heart is not in it. Remember he cleans up his life. He took out all his vices out of his life. He’s been faithful to his wife for the last couple of years. Spiritually he’s changed.

Teddy Atlas: No you think he has.

Skip Bayless: Well, Freddie has been talking about it all week, saying (well, all due respect to Manny’s wife) I kind of wish he would go back to his vices because I am not seeing the same fighter anymore. He’s lost that edge that he has. And I say because he’s sick and tired of waiting for Money Mayweather to come to the table for Money.

Teddy Atlas: That’s a poor excuse. I think there’s dissipation, I agree with you, from a mental and emotional, not from a physical standpoint, at 33 he’s not used up. But where it comes is there’s not the same urgency. He made so much money. He’s so safe in his country. Even though he can’t sing a note, people give him money. He’s got acting career there. I don’t think he has the same urgency, to have that fire, to do the extra things that hungry fighters do. Marquez, I’m not saying he is as hungry as he was 10 years ago, but he’s hungrier than Pacquiao.

Skip Bayless: So you think Pacquiao is virtually done as a fighter?

Teddy Atlas: I don’t think that he’s virtually done. From a physical standpoint he’s got the speed, a good puncher, the guy that fits in with anybody. He’s a guy that can win on a given night. I just don’t think that he’s on the elite level. When the difference is just so slight (when it is so little). When it comes down to doing those little extra things, I don’t think that you can count on him to do those extra things. Again, there’s not the urgency in his life that it used to be.

Skip Bayless: Bottom line, back to your original question (gesture to female anchor). I think Pacquiao will knock out Marquez. He’s going to make a statement. And I’m waiting for you Floyd, right here, right now. That’s what I think is going to happen.

Teddy Atlas: That’s not the greatest prediction. He (Pacquiao) already has him (Marquez) on the floor four times. Marquez stung him in the 2nd fight, and he’s been on a weight program. He’s a little bigger, a little stronger. Maybe that helps me more mentally as much as it helps him physically. But again, Marquez, if the judges don’t rob him again, is going to take the fourth fight.

Skip Bayless: Okay, Stephen A, you on the record, you think he wins the decision?

Stephen A. Smith: I think he (Marquez) wins the decision, in the eyes of the people, and gets rob by the judges. We’ll see.
