Full scorecards only! Bradley vs. Pacquiao

:good

 

Ok.

I guess apologies are in order.

You were trolling.



You're a ticket, bama.

A character.

A card. :rofl

(Not much of a score-card, though !) :yep

 

Jesus effing christ :rofl

 

One of the difficulties with this fight is that the rounds Pacquiao won, he outclassed Bradley. Bradley was out of his depth.

And the rounds Bradley won, he barely scraped because Pacquiao wasn't doing anything. And even in these rounds, it appeared that Pacquaio was just toying with Bradley and couldn't really be bothered to punch Tim. It would be too easy. So he took body shots and and laughed them off. The fight bored him.

Something like this happened in the Cotto fight, where Pacquaio took his foot off the gas and Cotto started boxing a little and Pacquiao was bored with the fight and allowed Cotto to backpedal and box a bit.

The difference here is that Bradley sort of got a second wind and mustered a little bit better of an effort than Cotto did in the late rounds. So, ultimately, it was Bradley's determination and work ethic that got him the nod. (Not that I thought he won).

6-5-1 Timothy Bradley I called 11 even. I have no problem with anyone giving either guy that round. Pac really just gave rounds away by not punching. Timmy didn't land many hard shots, but he got some clean ones in. On first viewing I had this a draw, but that 11th round had absolutely nothing to offer from either guy. It was a close fight that Timmy edged because Pac stopped fighting.

 

Excellent point. :good

Multiple people have given Bradley close to two thirds of those rounds mentioned, too.

HBO are unbelievably biased towards some boxers but it shouldn't be a factor that influences your scorecard if you have a certain amount of knowledge of the sport.
