Re-watched Pacquiao vs. Bradley

too bad for you though that vid only showed the punches Pac missed. you should've seen the other vids where it showed how Tim ate punches for dinner. significantly greater in duration, not only in volume.

 

Significantly greater in volume? You men in the last minute of each round?

 

watch it again dummy. too bad for you, dominance by doing basic boxing doesnt work for pac, but does so with other boxers. call it bias.

 

I remember it as fairly close, but Pacquiao definitely won, no argument; the decision was a disgrace.

Nonetheless this fight made me a fan of Bradley, decision wasn't his fault, the guy is a bona fide warrior.

 

I gave Bradley two rounds.

 

Gave it to Pac by a round or 2, I won't argue with people who had Bradley winning though it was a close fight. Its like Pac lost his incredible power he once had, had this been pac from 09-11 then he would of finished Tim.

 

Wasnt close , the only thing Pacquiao did wrong was coast from the 10th onwards.

Also looked at the reactions , Bradleys was like ' did they just say my name???'

 

Pac 6 rounds to 4 with 2 even rounds. Fight was no where near the easy master performance Pac fans suggest it was. And truthfully, neither fighter looked that great in the fight.

 

Oh really it's a bias, despite the fact I had pacquiao winning?

Sounds like you have the bias ******* meat rider

 

I think Bradley gives Pac a boxing lesson and retires him if they fight again. Bradley will not try to slug it out with Pac again. He will go back to using his movement like he did against JMM.

 

All right, I am such a big Pac fan that when he gets hit it is like I am getting hit. I get nervous and jittery.

Thus, EVERY fight with Marquez makes me nervous, his first two fights with Morales had me on the edge of my seat, because those fights had REAL danger.

This fight was the calmest I have ever been watching a Pac fight, because he was NEVER in danger of losing the fight. Timmy won maybe two rounds, and he was only effectively aggressive in round ten I think, where his jab finally snapped Pac's head back.

SUCH an easy night, if it was a close fight like MARQUEZ III I would have been nervous for my hero. As it is, the easiest fight he had since Hatton, and that one even posed more danger to Pac while it lasted. A run fest of pitty pat NON LANDING jabs - Pac blocked them all - completely ineffective aggression.

 

115-113 Pacquiao was my score. (and, incidentally, that of Jerry Roth - the only man standing in the way of it having been a UD loss...)

Wide for Pacquiao (117-111 or beyond) is just as ridiculous as scoring for Bradley.

If you are flexing every swing round for Bradley you could maybe squeeze out a draw for him, but that is a stretch. You can flex Pac an extra round to get 116-112, but 117-111 is really pushing it. 118-110 and up for Pac requires being biased or utterly incompetent, the same as having Bradley up.

This was a close fight, in which Pac deserved - but of course didn't get - the nod.

Can you call a match in which the loser should've taken it by a 1-round swing (meaning shift one round to Bradley and end up with a draw), 7 to 5, among the worst robberies ever? When in this decade alone there are examples of a boxer putting on a true clinic and sweeping a vast majority of rounds but somehow losing (Abril vs. Rios, anyone? Chock full of CRYSTAL-CLEAR Abril rounds, whereas there were relatively few of those in Pacquiao vs. Bradley for either...) :think I don't think so. Yet many do, lost in an irrational emotional response because of whom the bad decision hurt.

 

:good

 

Nobody saying Bradley didn't get extremely lucky (to put it politely) can be taken seriously. OTOH, nobody calling it a masterful performance or easy work for Pac can be taken any more seriously.

Close fight throughout, a lot of close rounds if you're giving full credit to both men for their body of work in each, ultimately edged by Pac close but clear on a fair card. End of story.

 

9-3 or 8-4 acceptable 7-5 no way
