My take on Bradley / Pacquaio

Manny could have knocked Bradley out at any given moment. He is a super hero with magic in his fists. He let Bradley win. He just wanted to know what it felt like to lose twice in a row. His fans dont like it very much. /sadface

 

I don't think Pac won a single round, to be honest.

 

Good post and good observations. :good

Pretty much agree

 

If Pacquiao doesn't hurt, knock you down, or out then you automatically win that round .

 

Because of Bradley's superior head movement, and conditioning and being the underdog, I scored four of the rounds 10/8 for Bradley because that's the definition of ring generalship.

 

Tim did all the right things.

He backed up when he had to and made Pac look slow footed.

At least Tim traded with Pac.

Floyd won't do that. PERIOD.

 

so trading with pac = winning the fight

got it:good

 

9-3 Paq.

This revisionist spin **** is hilarious. The fight was not even close. 47 out of 49 press row guys agree.

 

No.....backing up and throwing a jab on Pacquiao gloves = point.

 

Ring generalship and defense are 2/3 of how a fight is scored. Only one third is clean, effective punching and Bradley easily one 2/3 of this fight on the first two criteria. Pacquiao barely moved his head. You've got to score it a shutout or close for Bradley.

 

The fight was such a robbery, it united a U.S. Democratic Senator and a Republican Senator to join forces to defend a NON-AMERICAN.

Harry Reid, John McCain Agree On Pacquiao Fight, Push Boxing Bill

Boxing may be a contentious sport, but it's bringing rare harmony to the halls of the Senate.

Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) disagreed with the controversial decision in this weekend's welterweight championship to award Timothy Bradley the title over Manny Pacquiao, saying Pacquiao had been "robbed." Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) agreed.

McCain and Reid introduce legislation creating national boxing commission

Two senators introduced legislation Monday establishing a national boxing commission.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Senate Majority Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Monday introduced the Professional Boxing Amendments Act of 2012. The legislation creates a United States Boxing Commission which would oversee boxing matches around the country, administer and enforce federal laws on boxing, and fight conflicts of interest within the sport.

"Simply put, this legislation would better protect professional boxing from the fraud, corruption, and ineffective regulation that has plagued the sport for too many years and that has devastated physically and financially many of our nation's finest boxers," McCain said in a floor speech on the legislation.

The creation of the UBC is not meant to obstruct local boxing entities, McCain said. He added that the legislation would also ensure that referees and judges for boxing matches were properly licensed.

"More specifically, this legislation would require that all referees and judges participating in a championship or a professional bout lasting ten rounds or more be fully registered and licensed with the commission," McCain said.

McCain and Reid's legislation comes after a controversial split decision on a fight between Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley for the World Boxing Organization welterweight title. Roughly a week before the two senators introduced the boxing bill, Reid

the decision. Reid said his call for an investigation was in response to the vocal uproar by boxing fans.

"The most recent controversy surrounding the Pacquiao-Bradley fight is the latest example of the legitimate distrust boxing fans have for the integrity of the sport," McCain said. "After the Pacquiao-Bradley decision was announced, fans were clearly apoplectic and many commentators found the decision astonishing."

The bill also creates a medical registry and local boxing commissions in order to uphold basic boxing standards and protect boxers, McCain explained.

"The Professional Boxing Amendments Act would strengthen existing federal boxing law by improving the basic health and safety standards for professional boxers, establishing a centralized medical registry to be used by local commissions to protect boxers, reducing the arbitrary practices of sanctioning organizations, and enhancing the uniformity and basic standards for professional boxing contracts," McCain said. "Most importantly, this legislation would establish a Federal regulatory entity to oversee professional boxing and set basic uniform standards for certain aspects of the sport."

 

has this whole forum been sniffing paint? no way in hell bradely even came close to winning that fight

 

CompuBox is usually wrong, and not very accurate my friend. We all know what the opponents face looks like when Pacquaio lands his punches. The face is bruised battered and swollen. Bradley's face was comparatively damn near flawless after 12 rounds of a supposed arse whooping. Pac didn't hit him all that much period. There were many flurries where Pac landed either no punches or just one punch, yet Lampley was calling something totally different. The HBO crew hardly acknowledged anything that Bradley landed.
