How did you guys score the fight? First time I watched the fight I scored it 117-111 for Pacquiao. Re-watched it today and scored it 116-112 for Pacquiao maybe because I was looking for some rounds to give to Bradley. Maybe I missed something. I still dont get how Bradley got the win either way. Just wanted to see you guys input on this, thanks. Maybe a repost but I havent logged on here since 2009. atsch
Did you re-watch the fights with the sound on? Because if you did, you would be influenced by Lampleys nuthugging of Pac, who went gaga anytime Pac threw anything.
iv only seen the fight once. in a crowded bar filled to the brim with philipinos and pac fans who were screaming and cheering everytime pac threw a punch (weather it connected or not). did not even hear a snippit of the official commentary (tho i herd it was pac biased). i still had pac winning by 2 rounds
I re-watch with sounds off. Everytime Bradley comes in for a combination Pacquiao got his guard up and not landing, looks good from his side cause he is throwing punches. Pacquiao landed many clean left hooks and straight rights. Pac is the aggressor and you can see that Bradley got hurt in some of those punches. How did you score the fight? So, you think Bradley won?
I think the biggest misperception about this fight is that Pac landed a lot of flush shots. That's just not true. There is a video on Youtube showing all of the missed shots by Pac. And maybe that's what the judges saw. They saw Tim make Pac miss a lot. Also, there were several times when Pac did land a shot, Tim slipped or tripped backwards and that further tricked the world into thinking he was hurt. But that's how Tim defends himself sometimes. He jumps back and tries to roll with the punches and it sometimes looks like he was hurt or hit with a punch. I thought it was a competitive fight. I can see it 7-5 for Pac. Sometimes a draw. Pac really did nothing from rounds 9-12 while Tim was busy.
Manny outlanded Bradley 253-159 in total punches and had a 190-108 edge in power shots landed. Manny outlanded Bradley in 10 of 12 rounds. Taking a deeper look at the stats and the judges scorecards, Pacquiao had a 22-8 edge in total punches landed in round 5 and Ross and Ford gave that round to Bradley. Pacquaio had a 27-11 edge in total punches landed in round 7 and ALL 3 judges gave that round to Bradley...
Someone said that this fight was as competitive as Cotto v Mayweather. I would agree with that. An 8-4 affair in favour of Pacquiao. Bradley did a lot of good work against an awesome fighter.
I had it 9-3 watching live. Actually, i thought it was Pacs best performance since the Cotto fight and showed me just how he could beat Mayweather. The officiating was beyond corrupt, i could accept a 2 round swing to something like 115-113 but beyond that you're just giving Bradley round for no reason at all.
About the video you are talking about... I can make a video about bradleys getting his head knocked back. Pac was the aggressor, I just dont think Bradley didnt do enough to get the win IMO.
Reminds me of Pacquiao vs Marquez robbery. Maybe this time there will be no judges needed. Can Pacquioa put temmeh to sleep? Like Marquez put Pacquiao to sleep for robbing him.
Only people who DKSAB scored this fight for Bradley. I was rooting for Bradley and I was watching it with the sound off and I still have no idea how Bradley won that fight. I don't know why Arum want to rob Pacquiao but he did and it was obvious.
