I thought Bradley fought a helluva fight...

    I thought he won the 2,7,10,11,12 relatively clear, then there were plenty of close rounds (1,5,8 for example) in which Bradley did enough to win the round. I think there was a lot of overselling Manny's work, if you dispute that I'd ask when was Bradley hurt...how did he not have any real facial damage? It's not that facial damage is that huge of a factor outside of the fact that when Manny lands as much as HBO tried to make out, guys faces gets marked up, guys get hurt. I remember Manny going on a wild flurry at the end of maybe the 4th round in which 1 or 2 punches landed, and Lampley made a comment that 16 punches landed? It was a great fight, and Bradley deserves a lot of credit.

    I thought so to he took the fight to Pac and outboxed him down the stretch. I said before the fight that Bradley would give Pac hell and I was right.

    Are you asking: if Bradley was hurt in the fight, then why did he not show any facial damage?

    Seriously?

    So you just refuse to acknowledge the rest of that point? If in fact Manny was landing at the rate HBO was selling, please tell which fight he's had in which he landed that much and didn't hurt and/or mark up his opponent. The overlying larger point is, Manny did not land as much as many people here and definitely the HBO crew acted like he did. You don't have to agree, I'm simply asking you to provide me with some substantiation for the counter argument. Also which rounds specifically do you disagree with my assessment of?

    Uhhh yeah, you could say which of the above listed rounds you take exception to (2,7,10,11,12 pretty clear Bradley rounds). I'm rewatching now and I'll pay extra close attention to those.

    I'm not a troll, I'm certainly not "******ed" and if you'd like to debate my post then tell me specifically what you take exception with. If this shitbox post is the best you got, you'd be better served cutting your loses and shutting the **** up now.

    1,5,8 were all close rounds that in my opinion could have gone either way, so I'm not shocked you would give him 1st.

    The rest of your point? What - that Bradley, if he was being hit by Pac as much as is being claimed, should have marked up in the same way other Pacquiao opponents have been marked up in the past?

    You do realize how ridiculous that is, right?

    Because in case you haven’t realized, not all fighters bruise at the same rate - especially if Black fighters are involved (who are known not to display bruising/damage as clearly as Whites, Latinos, etc, do). You don’t even need to look further than Pac-Bradley and Pac-JMM3 examples to know looking at facial damage can be meaningless. We can all agree that Pac had far more success landing on Bradley than he did JMM, yet JMM face came out worse.

    When determining how many punches a fighter has landed, going by facial damage of the opponent is not always the best way. In fact, it can be pretty ******ed. Because, by that logic, we can all assume Clottey had more success landing on Pacquiao than JMM did when he schooled him last November. Because, you know, Pacquiao’s face was marked up. :nut

    And I don’t even care about compubox or HBO to know that Pacquiao was landing the better shots and was, overall, the much better man on the night. Oh, and I’ve not even mentioned disagreeing with any of your rounds (even though I probably do). I’m just addressing your silly assertion that the lack of Bradley’s facial damage, suggests Pacquiao didn’t land as many punches on him.

    Rounds 1-6 were clearly for Pacman, you really aren't very smart when it comes to scoring boxing matches...
