    Yeah, bc JMM isnt biased, right?
    He has no interest whatsoever in telling people that he is the only one to have beaten Pacquiao and that he deserves another shot ahead of Bradley :roll:
    God, some people are stupid...
    And live you surely have a better perspective to judge a fight than at home on television, yeah. Everybody in the whole arena had a better perspective than me and they wont be distracted from all this **** going on around them and all the people yelling etc :patsch

    Oh, now I am a ***** bc I didn't have Pac winning by 4 rounds like all you clowns :lol::patsch
    Go read my history of posts, I dont like Mayweather and I have always cheered for Pacquiao (just like the creator of the clip by the way) but that doesnt mean I score a fight that he lost as a landslide-victory for him out of sympathy.

    Chain of reasoning here:
    1. Repeat the lies HBO implanted in your brain.
    2. Get exposed by the clip you didnt care to watch in the first place.
    3. Get angry, call people *****s, avoid any further discussion.

    No question the clips in the video PROVED that there were mistakes made in the commentary where they credited PAC with punches that didn't land.

    I honestly see your point... however.. It's not like these guys at HBO were going out of there way to credit PAC with punches that were CLEARLY not landing... Pac was putting in work...things got heated...mostly one sided and these dudes are fast at the lower weights.

    I've seen this kind of thing happen EVERY time there's a fight...where the broadcast team credits a fighter with punches that didn't land....it's not just HBO calling a PAC fight....it's HBO calling any fight...ESPN calling any fight....SHOWTIME, any fight.

    My point is, I'm 100% certain that Tim was credited with punches that didn't land in that fight with PAC yet no one is trying to be objective if you're in that group who are trying to say Tim won....or somehow believe he made it a close fight.

    I'm sorry bro... I just don't get it. If you want to throw CompuBox out....Fine.... Even though they heavily favor PAC, it doesn't matter.....If you want to throw out PAC's control over the pace of the fight...that's straight.....If you don't want to credit PAC with being the more effective and aggressive fighter....No problem....

    I can see how about 9% came to the conclusion that Tim actually had a hell of a performance against PAC. There's obviously a different perception of reality for 91% of the HBO viewers......Of the Sports writers, boxers and analysts..... their reality matches the majority of of the HBO viewers.

    Dude, honestly, in the past couple of days I have questioned my own sanity and my ability to judge a boxing-match bc of all those guys whose opinions I previously respected and shared that saw this as a clear victory for Pac, but no matter how often I rewatch the fight, I just cant bring myself to see it with your eyes...
    Every time I watch the fight I see a Bradley that totally controls the pace of the action, makes Pacquiao miss even more than JMM made him miss in their last fight, and lands more and cleaner shots for the majority of the bout.
    I see how one could come up with a 115-113 for Pac, although I feel that wouldnt be the right decision, but all those 10-2, 11-1 type-scorecards to me are so out of this world I dont know what to say...
    Maybe people really look for entirely different things when scoring a fight, I dunno...
    The way I interpret the criteria on judging a fight I just cant come up with any scorecard that would favour Pac significantly.

    I watched it with about 15 Mexicans most who were rooting for Bradley, who don't speak much English or any at all, so the HBO doesn't effect them one bit, they all saw Pac winning by far.

    Very telling video. 115-113 Pac. What is so pathetic is the unprecedented outrage over a fight that was no more than a bad decision, just because everyone's favorite fighter was on the short end of it.
