Boxing: A Tale of HBO Nuthuggery (A MUST WATCH)

i gave bradley 1,2,9,10,11,12. there were several that could have gone either way. 7 was one i intially gave to pac...but reviewing it...i could see bradley winning. i don't think that's borderline crazy at all. i am someone who loves defense and little subtleties that i think most fans miss. i am not someone who likes mindless aggression...and i won't give a guy credit for throwing a **** load of punches if they aren't landing. it takes far more skill to avoid punches than it does to throw them....especially when u stand in the pocket.

 

Now we know why Arum reneged on giving Guzman the shot at Pacman, and kept Pacman away from Raheem as well. Pac, can't hit a moving target for ****.

 

we've been saying this for years.

 

Or that Shane Mosley-like jab.

 

Brilliant.

You could do the exact same thing for Pac-JMM III.

I still think Pac won, and I still think by 8-4, but then this video isn't trying to question that.

What an amazing job. - So who is this guy that created the video?

 

Most think Pac did enough to win the fight.

The “point” of the video is to show that the fight wasn’t the one-sided “beat down” that the “experts” on HBO portrayed it to be.

Bradley DID do some good work and many of the rounds were close and competitive.

The HBO commentary was atrocious and they need to be called on it.

 

You should be scoring on clean / effective punches before anything else. In close rounds you can start looking at other things like workrate, ring generalship, etc, to give the nod. But when one guy clearly lands more clean / effective punches , it shouldn't really be argued who won. Problem is you and others scoring for Bradley seem to be looking for rounds to give to him. Apparently any round that's close should go to Bradley. That's not an objective way to score a fight.

 

The point is that Pacquiao missed a lot of punches. Nobody is saying MP never landed a clean shot. He hit Bradley a decent number times but they aren't nearly as much as what compubox revealed. And I disagree, Bradley was not even bothered by that particular shot you mentioned. His legs looked fine. Besides, if it did hurt Bradley why wasn't Pac able to finish him? You'd think it'd be easy to accomplish such thing assuming Bradley was hurt AND had injuries on his feet.

 

no way dude! the fight went exactly as manny steward thought it would, they all do!!

 

i'll say this...when pac won rounds...it was very clear and evident.

bradley's rounds were not as dominant....but he still won more than everyone else but the judges gave him credit for.

i think bradley put it best....everyone was watching pac while the judges were watching the fight. it's very easy to do that especially with the biased commentary. also, pac is an impressive fighter.

 

HBO were crediting pac with landing some punches that missed and bradley did a good job at times of avoiding shots but anyone who thinks bradley won that fight needs their head examined imo, if it was the other way around and bradley somehow landed all very good shots on pac and pretty much dominated a lot of those rounds with very little coming back u would have bradley by landslide

Giving bradley 5 rounds is being very generous, he looked amaturish at times, as did pac, but bradleys threw a lot of ineffective flurries that a lot of were blocked as well

What must be really worring for pac fans was his stamina and failure to finish the fight well, he was really struggling and his sharpness was not there, if he had of being fighting someone who landed some good shots he may have been in big trouble

 

yep

 

Do what you want.....but I don't think I'll ever be in a position where taking your advice is ever an option. too much pressure not to look like a "fool", being that you're obviously a extremely intelligent.

 

It was not a beat down in any way.

 

Brilliant video
