This was not a robbery; it was a close fight that could of gone either way.

    There's no difference. You are just as bad and biased as *******s.

    Timmy won 2, 4 if you are generous to him.

    The Marquez fight was a close fight and I felt any decision would have been acceptable. This was not the same. No way.

    As a fan that thought Marquez beat Pacquiao in their third fight, I thought that was possibly the worst robbery I've ever seen. I thought Bradley thought 3 rounds if you were his mother. Let alone 3, let alone 5, let alone 6, let alone 7?!?!?!?!? Insanity. The 6 companions at my side agreed. Blatant robbery. Close rounds does not mean close fight.

    I disagree with the lopsided view but anyway. Which round did he win according to you? 11th? 12th?

    I did too, but the people around me vehemently disagreed. The thing is, Pac won his 6 rounds far more clearly IMHO. He swept 4-9 easily. The rounds Bradley won, the ones we awarded him were far far closer. I really can't even envision seeing Bradley getting 7 rounds. Pac clearly won because of this, and I think it's right up there with the last Marquez-Pac decision.

    Do you ****s have any idea what clean effective punching is?

    Have idea on how to discern what is a clean and effective punch. Tim did more? No he ****ing didnt. His activity was not effective at all. Even where he appeared to be landing more punches he wasn't effective, landing clubbing shots, and more often then not these shots were partially blocked. So if during the round he appeared to have landed more shots Pacquaio EASILY offset this activity by landing the few effective and definitive shots in the fight.

    Bradley might have looked busy but he wasn't EFFECTIVE. Even when pacquaio took his foot off the gas the few powershots he'd land in the later rounds offset the few jabs and pitty pat punches Timothy would throw that were almost always taken on the gloves.

    Reminds me of Whitaker-Chavez. Pretty close fight could've gone either way...

    Gave him the 11th. He won 2 at the most. He was getting whipped around the whole fight. He even admitted that he lost, so I don't even know why we're discussing this. Bradley is a joke, what a sellout, he went along with the whole plan.

    Completely agree. I had the fight a draw myself at 6 rounds each. I did think that Pac won his rounds by far more than Bradley won his. A close Bradley decision is a bad one but not a horrible one.

    I had the fight 8-4 or 7-5 for Manny. The fight was already over IMO when they made it to the championship rounds.
