    Keep in mind the following:

    1. Hbo, especially lampley does not give credit when the other fighters landing punches. He constantly calls landed punches for PAC that were not landing. This was especially true in the first 4 rounds, which I believe they got totally wrong IMO.

    2. Compubox IMO was totally wrong tonight. Manny was given credit for landing way more punches than he actually was.

    3. The hbo crew was over emphasizing the power differential because IMO Bradley was taking pacs shots well.

    4. There is no question PAC lost the final 3 rounds. I had Bradley winning 2 out of the first 5. So if a judge gives Bradley 1 or 2 rounds in the middle that were close that is how you get a Bradley win.

    But here is the problem as I see it for Bradley and his fans. I just can't find a round to give to Bradley between 6-9.

    Now was this a robbery? No. But I do believe the wrong man got the decision. And I won $600 off of this fight. I do believe Bradley can win a rematch, now that he has seen what PAC brings to the table. It will take a big effort but I think Bradley can do it.

    All three judges gave Bradley Round 7.

    Problem with this fight was Pacquiao won his rounds (3-6) much more decisvley than the rounds Bradley definitely won (7,10,11,12). You just can't give pacquiao those rounds, because he never hit him. He also hit him once in the last 30 seconds of Round1, so that's a tough one to go Pac's way, too.

    By the scoring in boxing (round by round), this was a close fight.

    HBO crew is trash. All of your points are true refferring to this.

    Compubox is way off. Rewatched the fight. On mute. As Max kellerman suggested **Shining Hbo achievement of some form of unbiasedness. I was suprised how many punches pac didnt land that i previously had given him credit for.

    There was not one wild scorecard. Not one. The judges actually wrote down what they saw. And all three saw a very similar fight.

    Pac Dominating Bradley was a myth. Much respect to pac as he still is the icon for the sport.

    Thats the point.. Scoring round by round. This aint a robbery. 10-9 is 10-9. Not well 10-9* vs 10-9?

    You cant find more then two rounds where pac actually fought for the first full two minutes.

    I counted at least 10 instances of Bradley clipping Pacquiao where Lampley would say only Pacquiao landed, in the final 4 rounds. They didn't even commentate the 12th Round, only Max was paying attention. But I still had Pacquiao ahead 7-5. It was a lot closer than Jim Lampley and Co. had it.
