Marquez/Pacquiao was a very close fight, but Pacquiao/Bradley wasn't! What you think?

    People are constantly comparing this to Marquez's "Robbery" against Pacquiao, but the difference is that this fight was not close. JMM and Pacquiao 3 was a close to call decision.

    So why are people even saying that Pacquiao knows what it's like to be robbed now?

    Agreed. Last night had an obvious winner where as Pac vs Marquez have yet to produce a clear victor in any of their fights.

    Totally agree. The Pac vs. Bardley fight wasn't remotely close at all. Any so called boxing fan that thinks this is some how good, is an idiot. This sort of absurd judging is killing the sport.

    pac-marquez was closer than pac-bradley. but the wrong man won both times.

    pac-jmm3 was close and could have gone either way and no one dominated. pac just dominated bradley.

    completely agree, non-competitive and non compelling. Pac handed bradley his ass easily, even though he has no speed and destroying fire anymore. lame. I wasn't even tense about the decision, it was such an easy fight for Pac. Not a good rematch. Love Pac, this is all Arum to make money, but the first fight needs to be CLOSE in order to make people want to see a rematch. I won't buy a rematch, and no one should. this is lame, just like engineering hype jobs who suck (Jesse Vargas, Linares to some degree, Litzau and Cabellero,, etc)

    JMM Pac III was extremely close and competitive and you could make an argument for Pac coming up just short or just edging it with aggression, this one Brad just stumbled around and looked like an ineffectual idiot just escaping an ass whipping but getting pasted with powerful straight lefts all night. Pac is past it - still way too good for limited "undefeated" Bradley. Lame.

    No

    emmanuel fans want people to sympathize with him getting robbed yet refuse to admit he robbed Juan

    that fight was close in many rounds. there was nothing close in any of these rounds, Bradley was completely ineffectual.

    Mayweather clearly beat Cotto by a landslide by effectively winning every round, but that fight was WAY more competitive than this one. Floyd just did what he had to do.

    Bradley didn't do anything to win barely ANY rounds. Just a boring noncompetitive fight. JMM PAC III was competitive.

    exactly. also cotto troubled floyd more than bradley has troubled pac for this fight. pac was the one who troubled bradley and made him clinch for his life a couple of times.

    JMM and Pacquiao 3 was closer IMO yes.

    But still a clear victory for JMM.

    If only the right man got the decision for both of these fights.

    I don't think anyone but a select 2-3 posters predicted a decision going Timmeh's way. Timmeh out of all people

    Marquez was robbed blind against Pac, Pac was robbed against Bradley but not anymore than Marquez was.

    Apart from Bradley winning 3-4 rounds, which is maybe more than Pac won against JMM. No way Pac won more than 4 rounds against Marquez
