Sloppy or not...really??? You don't see how a fight being sloppy could muddle the scoring? Pac has a lot of pop but lacks technique, throw in Bradley's mauling style on top of Pac being a lefty that situation was ripe for controversy. I still say the wrong man got the decision. If Pac actually won 9 rounds and Floyd won 9, I'm saying Floyd's were easier to score because of better boxing technique. And the scoring categories are Clean punching, Ring Generalship, and Effective Aggression, not tickling or blood drawn And not to split hairs but Floyd was bleeding from his nose not spitting blood:blood
Who cares?? Bradley's power is non existant! That's all he can land is tickling shots!! I gave Bradley 4 rounds and Cotto 3 but Cotto's rounds were far more convincing and Pacs offense wasn't as impressive as Mayweathers for once. All in all Mayweather vs Cotto featured 2 top level fighters in a solid fight....Pac vs Bradley was one top level fighter in a sloppy fight with a guy who can't hurt him or anyone for that matter and he still lost rounds and had trouble mounting a sustained attack.
After the Pac/Bradley fight, people should appreciate just how good a fight Mayweather/Cotto(e) really was.
I agree 100% i have may winning a clear victory but was still amaZed with the level of skill cotto displayed!. Beautful combo punching that he landed on floyd alot more then im used to seeing Cotto would give pac hell in a rematch but it wont happen due to weight
Mayweather/Cotto = 7 dominant rounds for Mayweather + 4 clear rounds for Mayweather + 1 close round for Cotto Pacquiao/Bradley = 8 close rounds for Pacquiao + 4 close rounds for Bradley. Which one was closer?
Agreed. I cant see how ppl on here say May vs Cotto wasnt even close.. Now for the Pac vs Tim fight, you cant even argue that it was a close fight Tim was STRAIGHT UP SURVIVING after round 3 when he started to feel Pac power in every exchange. yea i know the ankles were bad and all, and we was going for Tim, but everybody including him knew that hes lost plane and simple. Same thing with Pac vs JJM 3, i think JJM won that fight BUT you can atleast argue in favor of Pac.
WTF? You giving FMJr 7 + 4 = 11 rounds and a (1) "close" round for Miguel? Which fight did you watch....bro?
i didnt think either was close honestly.... Pac should have won handidly im not sure how they fukked that up....even Manny Steward was dumbfounded Floyd's fight wasn't close either but it was a more eye freindly fight with two very competitive high skilled fighters so people may say it was closer because of the amount of skill that was shown bewtween both fighters but Cotto won 4 rounds at max and thats being generous.
As I quote: I dont think that there is much else to say. Somebody needs to email this list to Tim or post it on his Facebook! lol
