Seemed retty clear that one of the judges scoring it for Bratty wasn't on the level. Namely the well documented CJ Ross, who lucky for us lost all of the litle credibility she had left with the 114-114 draw in the Floyd vs Canelo fight. I really hate it when so called boxingfans say it wasn't a robbery because it definitely was. You have to score at least one clear Pac round the other way and every single close one to Bradley to come up with that score. So you either have to be incapable of scoring a fight or unfair, wich means a robbery.
Mayweather-Canelo felt like an attempted robbery because Canelo loss every round!! Pac-Bradley I was actually close, both fighters fought equally bad, one just visibly more labored than the other.
48-3 of the press row and 9/10 in the hbo poll scored it for pacquiao. looks like you can't keep your objectivity or bias out when it comes to scoring pac's fight.
A lot of rounds weren't close at all. At one point it looked like Bradley was getting stopped getting rocked a couple of times and then Pac took his foot of the gas and let him come back in the fight. There's no way you can say they were on the same footing that bout, and only the flawed 10 points must system (in wich a clear round scores the same as a close round) made it close.
:think I forgot about that. It was a good action packed fight and I completely forgot how he made them wait like 12 minutes before he came out.atsch I wonder now if that didnt play some role.:think
Well I anticipate after Algieri Manny will have a 3rd fight with Bradley, yep thats how bad it is at Top Rank. The way I see it, Mayweather will offer Pac the fight for May 5, and as usual Arumiao will turn it down
Only 12% at press row had Pacquiao winning in fight 3 with Marquez, yet you dismiss that in a heartbeat.:nut
Marquez beat Manny more clearly in Fight 3 than Manny beat Bradley in Fight 1, the true robbery was in the Marquez fight.
atsch what a pathetic attempt to troll. Why are you even on this forum?

and if andre ward said that, you know something's up because ward is black and so is bradley, right?atsch
I agree that pac-bradley I was a close fight. but i think it was the right decision... bradley did a lot more than he got credit for down the stretch. but if you were watching the fight on tv, then it seemed like bradley was doing nothing, because that's how the hbo commentary went. the judges are the ONLY ones who have to give the fight their UNDIVIDED attention...they ALL scored it very close for bradley. for once, they did the right thing although it pissed off a lotta people. lara-canelo was not close. lara scored a clear, convincing 8-4 win. lara-canelo was an actual robbery in favor of a rising marquee star with a huge fan base at the expense of a more talented opponent who deserved the decision but doesn't have big box-office drawing power. lara should have got the decision and the cotto fight...canelo could have gone back to the drawing board and fixed himself. in the end, the majority of people would have respected the sport of boxing for it's integrity instead of looking at it like a pointless joke. that's the kind of thing that's killing boxing in a more insidious way.
Some people favor high activity without landed shots, evidenced by some claiming to score 5 or more rounds to Maidana against Mayweather. To those, Bradley did well against Pacquiao. I thought there were some close rounds and I thought Bradley won 3 of them. Tough to imagine scoring this fight for Bradley... Not quite on the realm of 12-0 robberies like Chisora/Helenius and Abril/Rios, but it was a bad decision that does an injustice to the sake of the history books. Pac/Bradley I is similar to Pac/Marquez III; the loser won between 6-10 rounds.
