    I'm looking at my clock and noticed it took me hours just to finish a fight.

    I watch it the first time with music playing and score it, than if I have issues with the scoring I'll watch it over and over. I can't tell you how many times I've watched Bradley-Pacquiao, I've noticed the more I study and watch Bradley fights the more I appreciate what he does

    He performed very well given how people expected him to merely get KTFO. Pisses me off as a boxing fan to see the skills he demonstrated overshadowed by HBO's **** sucking and the robbery

    How did you ultimately score it?

    Manny loved Morales that's why Pac imitates what Morales did to Barerra: fight your ass of in the last minute to win the judges. And he did.

    bradley gave manny a full 12-round competitive fight, but still, Pac won those rounds fair and square (but close rds tho)

    I tend to think it was a 8-4 fight, which is the same score I gave to Marquez-Pacquiao 3. A draw would not be an incompetent score to me, group think kills legitimate conversation in boxing, I loved after the fight how people were telling me about scoring and they only watch 3 fights a year.

    You know some of the people i respect most have told me they felt he boxed his ears off and a lot of the same people who say Pacquiao destroyed Bradley tell me Rios beat Abril, the people who don't know the sport really don't get it.

    Depends, there's always a little bias when I score, I try to be as objective as possible though

    pac vs bradley I had it 8-4 pac, maybe 7-5 pac, close fight, but clear for pac

    I watch fights very thoroughly.

    I am not swayed by commentary, because I vocally or internally insult the commentators each and every time they say something I disagree with (which is often).

    I always watch them in their entirety, never pausing and going back as I feel the point in scoring is to watch the 48 minutes straight.

    If I am up in the air about a close round, blown KD call, etc, I still score the round and don't change my score, but I make sure to go back to clarify it after I watch the whole fight.

    I would not thoroughly watch Hopkins vs Calzaghe.

    Not very thoroughly when I'm drunk but thoroughly when I'm not. Sometimes I hate PPV fight parties because I know I will be drunk and can't thoroughly watch the fight.
