    Wow all those Pacquaio punches hitting nothing but "air" are what "stole" Pacquaio the early rounds lol...

    I knew it was bad just watching it live but seeing the slow mo now makes it that much worse... horrible

    HBO bias was equally bad for Mayweather - Cotto, but that doesnt mean Floyd didn't clearly win. Anybody can throw together a video and highlight the punches that didnt land clean and make it look like the other guy won. What about all the moments Pacquiao did land clean? What is the this guys point, that Bradly won the fight? I don't need to watch a highlight, I have the actual fight on tape, I've seen - we've all seen it, and it's pretty obvious who won.

    They were only talking up Bradley before to hype up the fight... make it seem like it would be competitive while im sure they thought it wouldnt be

    I have no interest sitting through a 15 minute video. If it is biased at the start, why would that change?

    If a person starts talking about Jews and the beginning of his 15 minute speech is "Jews are responsible for all evil in the world and the Holocaust didn't happen" then I'm not going to watch 15 minutes before I form an opinion.

    The guy discredits himself too much in 2 minutes for the other 13 to be in any way redeemable.

    true...and i agree.

    i also will say that i scored the fight a draw when i went back and watched again. i think this fight was much closer than floyd/cotto. pac/bradley could have gone either way. floyd/cotto was a clear win for floyd.

    I thought Cotto won no more then 4 rounds against Floyd which is just about what Bradley could have gotten against Pacquiao.

    I don't know why you guys are trying so hard to convince yourself this was a close fight. It's not that difficult to score , even if you have it close, to give Bradley 7 rounds of the fight (which would have him winning ) is borderline crazy.

    I disagree when Cotto began to do well HBO acknowledged it, Bradley got ZERO credit for anything infact there are moments when he hits Pac and they claim Pac is hitting him. And it is NOT obvious who won because neither man did enough.
