    ..turns out the judges got it right, Bradley beat Pac with two bum ankles! In slow motion you notice that Pac isn't landing any of those flurries and combinations he's throwing. Bradley is ducking, dodging, and rolling all Pac's punches. Meanwhile in slow motion, Tim is effectively countering Manny and catching him repeatedly at the end of his attacks. Manny looks stronger, faster, more confident throughout the fight but the guy actually landing scoring shots is Bradley. Apparently the judges at ring side where able to see everything happen in slow motion because they got the decision right! Even Pac's most die hard fans have to agree Tim beat Manny in slow motion...all hail slow motion!

    So this is what its come to huh? Watching all fights in slow motion debating on who really won? :-(

    Can you imagine if that happened...
    Alot of pros would be stripped of their title lol

    My understanding is that slow mo alone won't be enough, you have to watch in slow mo submerged in salt water with Sometimes When we Touch playing in the background

    For some reason Pac fans have adopted slow motion as a go to resource of debate...but the catch is it can only work one way, in favor of Manny Pacquiao.

    Ok, first time I've commented on one of these Slow/Mo threads..

    I really don't see what the big deal is? What's the problem of someone actually going back and watching a fight in slow motion and actually seeing what really did or didn't land? I mean, don't most other sports utilize this technology to make a call that the human eye can't see? At the speed and pace that these guys throw punches, it's only natural that we don't catch every single shot landed.

    Now, for the record, in no way should this be how we score fights in boxing, but It is interesting seeing some of the vids that have been posted that actually point out who really landed what in fast exchanges. But again, once the fight is done, it's done. But I'm not going to totally dismiss what I've seen when I've looked back at these videos that have been posted.

    The problem is that slow motion videos and debates seem to only come from one particular fan base with one particular agenda. Boxing is a sporting event that happens in the moment and is scored in the moment, calls based on instant replay is not a part of this sport.

    I agree, absolutely about how we score and watch boxing.! As for the fan base, well I don't get into those wars here. So I won't start now. All I'm saying is it is interesting to see some of the vids that have been posted. And I'm willing to admit that I have seen where I was wrong on my initial viewing when going back and watching. This doesn't pertain to any particular fight because there have been a few that I've seen posted over the years here. It's not a new subject. But I agree with you for the most part.

    How often have we ever watched a fight in slow mo and literally changed our card or crowned the other guy the winner? Robberies do happen in boxing but I don't think slow motion has ever been the tool that exposed it.

    The commentators were paid to suck Floyd's D all night... even the HBO team was paid off (probably a condition for the fight happening)...

    After round 1, Lampley said that Pac had a look of defeat on his face. "Crestfallen" was the word he used. What?!

    :lol::lol::rofl:rofl:patsch

    Pac did excellent bodywork in this fight and got almost no credit for it.

    When Pac countered and hurt Floyd in Round 6, Bernstein said that Pac "may have won the round."

    Nobody has to pay those hacks at HBO, who hate all the Black fighters at that network, to cheer for Floyd. Manny was ass that night and it is over.

    Face it Manny was a hype job and always will be one. Now Arum is going to let the young fighters at Top Rig run through his ass like a drunk tramp at a frat party. :hat:freddy
