It's wasn't close, and who cares about Compubox. Pac easily outlanded Bradley two to one in the 5th. And every shot was much harder.
Rounds 1-2 Bradley Rounds 3-8 Pacquiao Rounds 9-12 Bradley 114-114 Draw About round 7 I thought Pacquiao was going to get Bradley out of there late, but Tim showed resilience in round 8 and really turned it on in the championship rounds and shut Pacquiao out. I had little hope that the judges would score it as I had saw it, but the 1st scorecard was read, I had a gut feeling Bradley would get the nod. Bradley is cursed by his lack of power, but the guy has skills.

I think that's fair. It was closer than people say it was for me, with a lot of rounds being close because of Pacquiao's relative inactivity. If he'd stepped it up a bit more I think he'd have taken another 2 rounds for me and made it 117-111.
I think this is the type of fight that will get closer the more u watch it. If you only saw the fight live, you will have been heavily influenced by hbos commentating. You need to watch it again with an open mind and score each round independently. If the only thing you're looking for is Pacs straight left, you aren't judging properly. For the record, i still think if anyone won, it was Pac. You had to be very generous to give the fight to Bradley. The only thing i'm saying is that this was a close fight.
rewatched the fight and bradley didn't do any betetr. he got dominated from rounds 3 up to 9th and clearly lost those rounds straight. my full scorecards: 1. pac 10-9 clear 2. pac 10-9 close 3. pac 10-9 clear 4. pac 10-9 very clear 5. pac 10-9 very clear 6. pac 10-9 clear 7. pac 10-9 clear 8. pac 10-9 clear 9. pac 10-9 clear 10. tim 10-9 clear 11. pac 10-9 close 12. tim 10-9 close 10-2 (118-110) pacquiao
i beg to disagree but please watch just rounds 3 to 9 (just those 7 rounds) and tell us which round would you give to bradley. bradley got dominated in that stretch.
