This thread was probably done before, but you know me and my consensus threads. Flat out, Bradley didn't win the fight. He's one of my favorite fighters, I even cheered when he got the decision, but I know it was a robbery. That being said, he definitely won more than 1 round, and I was outraged the HBO commentary, the Lederman card, and the backlash from the fans... If you only gave him 1 round ur just as bad at scoring as those that had him winning. That being said, which round did you give him? So my question is: Which rounds did he win CLEARLY and OBJECTIVELY? I gave him 3 rounds when I saw it the first time, I know rounds 10 and rounds 12 were 2 of them. Round 12 was the most one-sided round of the fight other than the 4th, and it went to Bradley IMO Some people say he swept the championship rounds, most can't decide whether to give him either 1 or 2... IDK I just want a general consensus. Tell me what you think
I haven't scored the fight closely in awhile, but off the top of my head: Bradley won rounds 1, 10, 11, & 12. At least. He could've won two or three more rounds to justify a draw or win. Bottom line: It wasn't a 'robbery.' I agree w/ you about the HBO telecast being horribly biased that night. All that said, I don't know why judges don't score rounds even, 10-10 anymore. That fight has a lot of close rounds, and calling them even keeps it fair on the scorecards.
I don't see why people argue the first for Bradley. It was an even round until Pac stole it in the last 20 seconds with couple hard connects. 10 was the only really decisive Bradley round. 11 and 12 were both hard to score... arguable for Bradley.
Bradley won rounds 1, 2, and 3. Pacquiao won rounds 4-12. This is my opinion when the fight happened and still upon further rewatches. I've long been surprised that the general consensus is opposite of my opinion that Bradley started off real well but was overwhelmed in every round after Manny had that big 4th round.
20 seconds out of 180 seconds, or 3 minutes, wins a round in your opinion? Pac never hurt Bradley. (Also, Bradley scored on body punches, but people dismiss them for some reason.)
I haven't seen anyone score the fight like this ever. I can't call you bias since u gave Bradley all of rounds 1-3, which not even a big Bradley fan like me could do But not giving Bradley at least 1 of the Championship rounds... I'd have to check ur scoring criteria for that conclusion
Honestly......hmmmmmm..... I think I gave bradley the same rounds that pacquiao won in the Pacquiao vs JMM 3 fight. Since paquiao won that one, then I guess I can't be wrong.
But 2 was close enough to rob Pac, as was one other middle round when Pac essentially blocked everything Tim threw for the first 2 mins, then rallied and pummeled him for the final 30 seconds. Plenty of rds couldve been stolen from Pac by crooked judges. Hell, they shouldve just gave Tim a 12-0 shutout UD. Woulda been just as JUST.:rofl:rofl:rofl
