Bradley's tickling shots constantly landing on Pacs gloves and arms won him the fight. Pac obviously didn't bring the fight to the champ Bradley and challenger Pacquiao didn't do enough to win.
I can forgive some boxing knowledge shortcomings on lampley's part. The guy has a genuine passion for the sport, and I love listening to him call fights.
That doesn't excuse his ignorance. They showed a round that was a Bradley round, and Lampley complained, that the judges weren't Pac ball gobbling like he was doing. He then cited bogus compubox numbers for the round, which were way off, and just as corrupt as Lampley's commentary often is. That whole segment didn't make sense. They could have found a round that was really a Pac round, where maybe the compubox numbers were backed up by video of the round. Instead of picking a round where the actual video of the round, showed Lampley to be one blind idiot, and showed that CompuBox is laughable and totally the opposite of accurate. Nothing like CompuBox saying a boxer landed 27 punches in a round, and that boxer actually landing less than ten. But hey wait, CompuBox has a long history of that.
When he did the now infamous "Bang!, Bang!, Bang!" call a couple fights back I was like... Dudes voice sounds nice on the mic calling a fight, But WTF??? HBO bringing back the OG PRO wrestling style call to the table.
Lampley has lost a ton of credibility in my book. Somewhere along the way, he became an unprofessional Pacquiao fanboy.
I didn't see the show, but round 7 was a clear round for Pacquiao, imo. It was competitive, but Bradley landed only 1 good shot (to the body) while the Filipino landed numerous telling blows. The fact that ALL judges scored it for Bradley despite the fact that he was largely ineffective is highly suspiscious to me.
Have you ever considered that maybe it's YOUR knowledge which is flawed? Round 7 was competitive, but it was pretty clear that Pacquiao landed all the clean shots (save 1 to the body from Bradley). Scoring the round for Bradley on the basis of ineffective aggression is a sign of the scorer not really knowing boxing.
Felt bad for Tim. I like Lamps but he is a puss for almost tearing up at that "robbery" and dedicating a whole episode on it. Where was his tears when Marquez boxed Pacquiao's face off over 12 rounds, Pac knew it, we knew it, Roach knew it, but Lamps stayed on Pac's dick regardless. Shameless.
No it wasn't...what's suspicious is that you refuse to acknowledge that you're wrong, "a clear round for Pacquiao"...SMFH.
