Absolutely agree. Had it 6-6 personally, with Pacquiao 6-3 up after 9 rounds. He completely took his foot off the gas in the second half of the fight. Bradley boxed well using his jab and impressive combo's. Completely controlled most of the second half of the fight. Bit harsh on Pacquiao to hand Bradley the win outright, but it was a very very close fight. Far, far closer than the Marquez bout.
You're pathetic. You care more about your little message board world and what this decision means in that pathetic world more than the integrity of the sport and how badly this hurts the sport, not only in the US, but worldwide. Congrats, you scored some Eastside Boxing rep points. Now, back to reality.
Close fight, Bradley went toe to toe at times, showed good technique determination and heart... on broken ****ing ANKLE! Timeh a G! PACQUIAO got BOBFATHERED how he BOBFATHERED marquez in the 3 fights with marquez..... PACYBACK a *****.
Basically the opposite of what happened on November 12 here on ESB: Nov. 12, 2011 - Pro-Pacs arguing that it was a close fight. Anti-Pacs arguing that it was a highway robbery June 9, 2012: Anti-Pacs arguing that it was a close fight. Pro-pacs arguing that it was a highway robbery.
i'm not a fan of the word robbery, mainly when a fight is relatively close. this was not close, and 99% of viewers know it, THIS WAS A ROBBERY
Speaking of HBO Max Kellerman made a point to point out that people who's opinion he trusted sitting on another side of the ring scored the fight for Bradley. I guess it's all a matter of prespective. From what I saw it came down to what you lkied better. Pacquiao's harder punches or Bradley's taking the fight to Pacquiao, landing his own all be it not as hard punches and doing a good job of avoiding Pacquiao punches.
Had it a draw as well. Have to watch it again but Bradley winning is not a robbery to me at all. I did not like his body language as I thought he could have fought some rounds with more confidence. Yes he got hurt a few times and he looked really average sometimes but the scoring is done RBR.
The difference being, *******s are generally fanboys who know **** all about boxing and are therefore wrong on both occasions. :yep
This fight was not close at all. I had Bradley winning one round. This was a lopsided victory for Pacquiao. They were dumb for pulling this stunt, it makes me not even want to watch boxing anymore.

Also, believe that Bradley will do even better in a rematch.
Im thinking about wearing a 3 button suit today , not sure if I go for the midnight blue in the slim fit or the grey with the waistcoat. Also is it over dressing wearing a tie pin??? Answers on a post card please.
Not close at all. Cotto-Mayweather was closer than this ****, anybody saying it was close is either trolling or ******ed.
am a huge pac fan but i thought bradley really deserves the W. yes, pac land more telling punches, but bradley landed more scoring punches just enough to steal more rounds. this is the same reason why i had pac winning against marquez on their third fight. congrats to bradley!
