You Be The Judge : Why Manny Won

You Be The Judge : Why Manny Won

In a 10-point system, the boxer who wins a round is given 10 points, and the other boxer gets nine points. (10 -9)
If there was a knockdown in the round (10-8)
2 knock downs (10-7)
If a judge can’t decide who won the round, it is scored 10-10.
Now if you are the challenger, you must be the aggressor (Pacquiao vs Cotto) in very close rounds the Champion gets the 10. For example if Pacquiao would just stay still and Marquez does not attack, Pacquiao gets the 10 and Marquez 9. In this case Manny (champion) was always aggressive while Marquez (challenger) waits for an attack and counters.
Marquez’s body language fooled a lot of people. Making people feel that he was the winner or at least it was a draw. It may look like he was landing more punches but the tricky part here is he was on the defensive, luring Pacquiao into his tactical traps (remember the challenger must be the one who is aggressive to be awarded 10 ). So even if Marquez did connect more punches, he gets only 9 for being defensive and Manny gets the 10 for being the attacker.
Pacquiao got more “10”s than Marquez. Manny wins.
Why Manny won? “Manny knows…”

Airbus 2050 Future Plane

Today, Airbus unveiled its vision of what the future of flight will be like. Or how it intends to terrify aerophobic passengers. The plane has a transparent cabin, which offers a view both stunning and startling. But fear not, scared flyer: If you tire of the view, why not shoot a round of virtual golf or enjoy an in-flight video powered by the heat of your own body. Because that’s all possible on this aircraft.

Check out more amazing photos of the Airbus.
