    He flicked the jab a lot with no intention of landing it, it wasn't a shot to hurt, it was a shot to help him control distance, which he did very well.

    You evidently haven't seen me post enough. I made a good chunk of VCASH off Bradley this weekend because I expected him to win. I wish I could say that he deserved the W and I was right all along, but that would clearly be a ****ing ******ed assessment. Fight was closer than most though, but no way did Bradley win it.

    Ok I can agree with the outclass comment. It was a close fight and Bradley was in it from start to finish. Some rounds could have gone either way but in my opinion those close rounds went to pacquiao. I felt he won 10 close rounds. But he won then nonetheless...

    Pac won that fight. And I say this as a Bradley fan who was hoping he'd win...

    Rounds get scored evenly only very rarely. try again.

    Sorry, I should have edited my post to let people know. I said in the thread that I went back over rounds 6 and 7. I gave Bradley round 6 and Pac round 7 :good

    What is with fans and even commentators giving even rounds so often and even multiple rounds per fight? :think

    This is true, but in more rounds than not, in that other 2.5 minutes he was still outfighting Bradley.

    When you see someone ramp it up in the last 30 seconds it's easy to cast a critical eye on the rest of the round and assume the fighter knows he's not done enough, but in this case they were rounds Pacquiao had already won, he was just putting them in the bank.

    No, I was making notes as I watched. You're wrong.

    Pac landed his best shots in the early rounds. Stick to watching, you're as bad as those buffoons Saturday night. :hey

    This thread doesn't look so silly anymore now that people are changing their tune with the arrival of this video
