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

lol bradley won 2 rounds at best total rigged fight but i see black guys are trying to claim it was close no surprises there

 

Pacquiao swept rounds 2-7 , 9 and at least 1 or 2 of the last rounds. You could only give Bradley POSSIBLY round 1, 8, and 1 or 2 the last rounds. No way he won that fight.

 

Agreed. It's like I keep saying with Pacquiao, the speed of his punches stun opponents early, then they adjust and seem to take his power better as the fights go on. Have seen it time and time again with him. Bradley was overwhelmed in the first few rounds. Pacquiao won rounds and won them spectacularly. When Bradley did get a handle on the fight, he was winning rounds using his solid jab and impressive, if not powerful, combinations. Much less eye catching but doing the job nonetheless. He outworked Pacquiao in the second half of the fight, hands down. Pacquiao looked old in there from 6 onwards. Again I say giving the win to Bradley was harsh but for me a draw was fair. Thought it was a much much closer fight than Marquez.

As a Marquez fan, people will call me biased, and they're free to do so. But I had Pacquiao 6-3 up after 9 and looking comfortable, but he COMPLETELY took his foot off the gas. Had Bradley winning 5 of the last 6 rounds and the 1st. Call me biased all you like, but I'm genuinely calling the fight like I saw it.

 

I'm black and Bradley got his a** kicked for 11 rounds. It's crazy how bad he was getting beaten in there lol. I was loling the whole time, because he was just getting rocked with lefts.

 

Alright! Gave him the following rounds: 1 - 2 - 8 - 10 - 11 - 12. Will have to re-watch it later today. I was surprised with the decision though. I also thought Pac would have stepped up in the final round to get the clear decision bc the fight was still there for the taking IMO.

 

The judges punichsing Pac in this fight for their **** up against Marquez. It doesn't give Martquez back his deserved victory in the last fight by awarding a decision to another fighter who was outgunned throughout the exchanges. 116-112 Pac at least.

That said - Pac handled the loss with class. The "SUCK ****" stuff around here should be directed at one eyed *******s only - But its just a reflection on how broken the sport is and nothing to celebrate IMO.

 

I don't agree with the decision but I have to admit that Bradley was a real G for the way he called it before the fight. He even scheduled the rematch. Haye and Chisora don't have anything on Desert Storm.

 

Exactly. What a little ****.

 

I scored it 9-2-1 for Pacquiao. Pacquiao was landing harder, cleaner punches; Bradley was slapping with his punches, had no force on them at all. Hell, most of Bradley's punches were getting parried or blocked by Pacquiao's gloves; Pacquiao's by no means a great fighter defensively, but Bradley's offense was THAT bad. His punches weren't fast or forceful. Even in the later rounds, Pacquiao was STILL outlanding Bradley and landing better punches. Bradley just tried to dance around Pacquiao and throw sloppy garbage punches to make it look like he was "active" and "aggressive." Truth is, he stopped taking the fight to Pacquiao after the first 4 rounds, once he realized Pacquiao hit too hard and punched more quickly than he expected. Than he tried to pretend like he was boxing to not risk getting knocked down or out.

I will say this though: Pacquiao didn't necessarily look good either. He would have smashed Bradly had this happened three years ago. His stamina is nowhere close to what it once was, though he still has good handspeed, footspeed, and power. But his punch output and activity isn't consistent though the rounds anymore. He's not the same wild, relentless brawler he used to be. He seems like more of a "bursts" than a "constant attack" guy now, like a loose, move-forward counterpuncher of sorts. If anything, it looked like he was looking to counterpunch Bradley in there, but Bradley was too tentative and didn't commit to punches enough for Pacquiao to capitalize as often as he would have liked. The fact Bradley was in "I'm just going to not get KO'd and have Arum's judges save me, so screw trying to take the fight to Manny and win it legitimately" mode after the first third of the fight cut down Pacquiao's opportunities to win his rounds more clearly than he did. The rounds only looked close because of Bradley preventing Pacquiao from looking good, but he still lost them, close but clear.

Nevertheless, in spite of Bradley's obvious negative spoiling tactics, Pacquiao still demonstrated more than enough aggression and still landed more hard, quality shots than Bradley. It was an absolute disgrace of a decision, right up there with DLH-Trinidad, DLH-Mosley II, DLH-Sturm, Rios-Abril, Lara-Williams, etc.

 

Draw.

 

I watched it on mute because ever since the Pacquiao - Clottey fight, and Jim Lampley's awful ****ing "bang bang bang" commentary, I refuse to listen to the **** sucker. I had it 7-5 Pacquiao, but I thought there were some close rounds. I'll watch it tomorrow, and see if i view it different.

That said, I look forward to the rematch.

 

Translation: If you're a feather fisted fighter, you don't deserve to win a fight.

atsch Ridiculous.

PS. 'Preventing your opponent from looking good' is also known as Ring Generalship.

 

Bradley landed way more heads than Pacquiao. Pac's hands look to be swollen from those power shots after the fight.

 

Everyone forgets PAC does nothing for the first two minutes of the round even the biased commentators mention this- meaning tim Bradley did 2/3 more work than pacquiao

Those punch stats numbers are bull**** if pacquiao landed that many shots Bradley would be unrecognisable and in a coma
