I had it 10-2. 10 and 11 to Bradley.

 

He's a ****ing bias moron. Pacquiao did not win round 6, 7, and 8 decisively. I thought Bradley won round 6 because he landed the cleaner shots. Many of the punches that Pacquiao threw in round 7 missed while Bradley landed hard counter-shots. Round 8 was close, but the best two punches in that round was Bradley hitting Pacquiao with two body shots. I had that round a draw.

Round 1 went to Bradley, the last three rounds (10, 11, and 12) I gave to Bradley.

It was a close fight that could have went either way. But lets say I gave round 8 to Pacquiao. The fight would have been a draw.

 

Pacquiao didn't land three left hands, he landed only two, one of them missed.

 

This is how you score them, in 1 min segments? In boxing rounds are 3 minutes.

 

You score 3 minutes rounds as full 3 minute rounds.

You don't say, "oh this guy did more work in 2 minutes, so he wins." This isn't amateur boxing. People around here don't know how to score.

You give the round to the guy who landed the cleaner, more effective punches it's that simple. Sometimes it's hard to judge when you have a really close, tit-for-tat, even matchup - but this wasn't one of them. Bradley got some work in but Pacquiao landed almost ALL of the clean, hard, effective shots in the fight. Bradley never came close to hurting him or even bothering him. This is a no brainer.

 

great find! i gave Tim 3 rounds and two of those were close...

 

You'd think they would have made them 1 minute rounds if you're supposed to score it like that. It'd also get tricky, suppose Pac managed to kd him after losing the first 2 mins, what then? 10-10?

 

And yet he picked Bradley for the upset.

OK.

 

Pacquiao 8-4 Bradley

 

This. :deal

 

The list's impact is reduced with Skip Bayless on it... still pretty damning though.
