Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley RBR

I f*cking love this thread. Keep it up IB!

 

Cheers for covering the presser IB, can't see it at the moment.


Can't believe the hysteria the forum is gone into. Giving Bradley the win was a little generous, but it was a way, way closer fight than Marquez. You reap what you sow I guess. Bradley is an absolute warrior, all heart, so well done to him. Completely controlled the second half of the fight with his solid jab and impressive combos, lack or power or not.

 

:verysadIt pains me to say this but the PBF fans and indeed Floyd himself ,that Arum was the reason the PBF Vs PAC hasnt happened ,i now believe this result and Arums absence from the ring after the fight proves he expects us to pay out again to watch his 2 fighters go again and fill his pockets with the Dollars he wouldnt have pocketed from the big fight because he wouldnt have been able to control that ,i will NEVER NEVER pay to watch a Bob Arum promotion again even if Pac is on it ,I am disgusted to the core with the scores ,Surely even those who hate Pac cant try to pass that off as a win for Bradley ,ffs even he thought he was beat his Dad comforted him as any Dad would do to their son who had made it to Rnd 12 after nearly been out off it in the early Rnds ,Don King was cleaner than Arum ffs ,this stinks to the heavens .That is I for one finished paying to be treated like this ,stick it up your A-S-S Arum you greedy little B-a-l-l-o-x:verysad

 

Absolutely 100% on the money. I agree completely. At the very most generous best Bradley could earn 6 rounds. Pac I thought controlled and swept 6 rounds in the middle of the fight but the rest of the 6 were somewhat close. I think Bradley could have been giving 3 or 4 them. HBO painted a rather blatantly hysterical picture. At the same time, Bradley in no way won 7 rounds. In fact, the one thing I disagree with you is that a 118-110 Pac decision would be far less criminal than a 115-113 Bradley decision IMHO.

 

It's not in me to disrespect an old man, but...

F*ck that ****.
He is clearly playing the distressed promoter role here.
As if he didn't set the whole thing up.

Not giving us Pac-FMJ of 2010 is already bad, not even allowing it to happen EVER is pushing it.

 

I think so, too. Bradley found a sustainable rhythm in the last 2-3 rounds. Despite his power deficit, he was landing more shots and while the impact of Manny's shots were definitely harder, I don't think Pacquiao landed enough quality shots to overshadow the quantity of Bradley's shots down the stretch.

Bradley won at least four rounds (at most 6).

I gave him 5. 115-113 Pacquiao. I'm not outraged by the decision, though. Pacquiao seemed to want to do just enough to get the decision and never really put his foot on the gas. Like the saying goes "hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard". Good lesson to learn.

 

ha ha ha

 

The fight was close. Much closer than what the commentators had it. Bradley threw a lot, controlled most part of the rounds, and then Pacquiao would land may'be 1 good shot and go back on vacation. "HARD LEFT HAND BY PACQUIAO I JUST CREAMED MY JEANS! 10-8 ROUND! PACQUIAO IS GOD!" **** that. It was a close fight, for writers and Lampley to say that "This is the worst decision he has ever seen." Is just goddamn silly. Drama king much? It doesn't even rank in the top 2 of worst decisions this year.

 

Not a robbery. I had it a draw. 115-113 Bradley is hard to see but by no means a robbery. I can see Bradley winning 7 rounds if you gave him the close ones.

 

Roach and Pacquiao are trying to sell this bull**** that Bradley "ran" the whole fight...laughable.

 

Oops my bad
