I know I'm going to catch a shitstorm of abuse for this but here it goes. When I first watched the fight it was 5am here. I was tired and vulnerable. I still had enough sense to know that those *******s on HBO were cheerleading for Pac like a mother****er. Disguisted with them, I switched over to Prime time only to find more cheerleading going on from Khan. I was just a sleepy kid and these *******s took advantage of my score card :? On first watch, I gave Bradley 3 or 4 rounds and Pacman the rest. I now realise the error of my ways. Decided to re-watch the fight with fresh, awake eyes and with commentary in a different language I didn't understand. I SAW ALOT OF CLOSE ROUNDS AND IMO, ROUNDS 3, 6 AND 7 COULD GO EITHER WAY. Here's my scorecard. Pacquaio - Bradley 1) 9 - 10 2) 9 - 10 3) 9 - 10 4) 10 - 9 5) 10 - 9 6) 10 - 9 7) 9 - 10 8) 10 - 9 9) 10 - 9 10) 9 - 10 11) 9 - 10 12) 9 - 10 FINAL SCORE 115 - 113 Bradley. NOTES: Bradley's main downfall in this fight was the inconsistency of his defense. At times he showed VERY good defense, slipping the majority of punches in pac's combos, and moving on his feet very well (despite injury). HOWEVER, it became a regular occurring for Bradley to get lazy with it. Half hearted head movement, hands down etc. But Bradley showed a STURDY chin in those times when his defense for lazy Pacquiao was being a ******. He wasn't fighting for the entire round and seemed as if he just wanted to steal rounds in the last 45 - 30 seconds. He did this with some success as people tend to forget what happens early in the round when something impressive happens later on. Pac's aggression was NOT effective. He only managed to trap Bradley on the ropes a hand full of times, the rest of the time Bradley's slick black movement got him out of all potential trouble. In no ways was it a dominant performance by either fighter but IMO, Bradley deserved the decision. FOR THE RECORD - I predicted Pac would stop Bradley and I watched this fight with no bias.
I picked Bradley to win this fight and was kind of rooting for him (hence why my vcash has a much-needed shot in the arm). My friend, how in the **** do you give Bradley the third round?
If our were you I would put your first watch back on your wrist. The second one is clearly inaccurate. :nono

Man, i feel the same way you do. Watched the fight again and i had it even. I'm afraid to even say anything LOL.
Bradley won he outboxed Manny and the judges weren't fooled by his lazy as SRL impersonation of trying to flurry while landing nothing so he can steal the round.
6-6 But I can see it scored either way. I personally am getting a kick out of all these *******s going Ape-wall and trying to pretend to be cool.
