    Bradley gave pac credit. It's called being a good sportsman. He didn't admit defeat. There's a big difference.

    LOL. Get out with this crap.

    "I tried, I really tried," Bradley said. "I wanted that knockout. Manny is a great fighter, one of the best in the world.

    I kept trying to throw something over the top. That's what we worked on in camp. That was the plan, but Pacquiao has great footwork."

    because if bradley thought he won the 1st fight then he really must think he won the 2nd fight.

    1st fight i had 9rds to 3rds for pacman
    2nd fight i had it 7rds to 5rds for pacman

    pacman actually did better in the 1st fight with tim but he's getting the credit like it was a shutout. the 1st fight was a shutout then 2nd fight was close but clear for pacman.

    I gave Timmy 4 rounds. Rounds 1 and 11 for sure. It was a sloppy fight due to several things: 1. Timmy threw wild looping hooks and missed most of the time. 2. Pac head hunted and Timmy was moving his head.

    Dude, you have no fkin clue what being a sportsman is all about. Why would bradley make a big stink? Why would he cry about the decision and say he was robbed? That's not what a true sportsman does. Not every athlete has to be a a-hole when he's playing a game and the judges call it for the other guy.

    It appears that a Draw score is only slightly off base here from the consensus scores of 116-112 and 115-113. That is only one round swung from a totally acceptable score, therefore is not completely crazy especially when everyone agrees there were many close rounds in the fight.

    This is more like what I would call a fair assessment. 7 to 5 is reasonable either way. Knowing how popular pac is and how people wanted to see him avenge the "robbery" from last time, i figured they would call it a draw or close for pacman. I never expected to see scores like 8-4 and 10-2. That's fked up scoring and another sign that the sport is corrupt and just needs to die.

    Yep.

    Pacquiao respected the decision and admitted defeat in their first fight in the post fight interview in the ring... which is odd. Some people do and say the right things even if they have to be biting their tongue to do so. I'm sure Bradley felt he did enough to get some sort of minimal credit of effort with a "MD" or "SD" defeat, at least. Shoot, the way he scored the first fight, he almost certainly feels he won this one as almost everyone agrees it was better fought and made closer by Bradley this time around. So yes; sportsmanship.

    The only reason 116-114 is a "consensus" score, is because it was what the HBO guy came up with. The fact is, bradley CLEARLY won the 12th round. If lederman had seen it that way, it would bring his score to 7-5. Maybe a little too close for comfort. And as we all know, HBO shapes public opinion. So, what I'm saying is, if lederman had called it 7-5 for Pacman or a draw, the "consensus" scores on this forum would have been 7-5 and 6-6.

    You don't have a ****ing clue on what you are talking about. So now you can read minds?There are many boxers who did not get the decision and get upset in the public,thinking they should have get the decision instead.

    LOL. Stop with your ******ed trolling. Bradley did not win the 12th round. Post with your real account, not this alt.

    Whoever said or feels as if Bradley won wasn't watching the fight. I was rooting for Bradley because I strongly feel that Pac is way too overrated, but last night's fight Pac clearly one. Bradley was doing very well until he got caught and wanted to show his machoism instaed of sticking to the game plan, stick and move. Pac can't fight going backwards if you noticed, and doesn't do well against slick boxers. Pac beats guys thatb are stationary, ie hatton, mosley, margarito, cotto, need i name more?
