Bradley has learned a LOT from this fight - can win the rematch (without controversy)

    It's like the Twilight Zone on this board. Pacquiao landed more in 10 of the 12 rounds. He landed the more significant shots throughout the fight. Can you point to one significant shot that Bradley landed in the entire fight? I can't. Pacquiao hurt Bradley in 4 of those rounds as well. What fight were some of you watching? Were you drinking heavily? Is it a hate thing? Help me understand.

    Compubox is horrible, and is a huge disservice to the sport.

    He's going to beat him exactly the same way he did yesterday: superior speed, movement, workrate and power. Unless the judges are going to be paid off again, he won't need a ko.

    It tells the true story this time round, though.

    Watch from the 6th round on again.

    Outworked and outboxed. Controlled it with his solid jab and scored well with his combinations. Pacquiao did nothing for 2/3rds of those rounds then put a spurt of punches together. That's not doing enough. :hi:

    I know you are a Marquez fan, but you are simply horrendously biased. Bradley threw a lot of punches but landed very few - Manny threw less but landed also twice as many - as a Marquez fan you of all people should be able to appreciate that. Bradley may have come on late, but even those rounds were closed and he simply should not have been awarded even half of them.

    Not biased at all. Calling it like I saw it, just as you are. I had Pacquiao still 6-3 up after 9. Some judges value high workrate and Bradley seemed to do a lot more in the second half of the fight. As I keep saying, I don't think he did enough to win, but this biggest robbery in history **** is pathetic.

    As a whole, the whole fight was close to be fair.

    A high workrate only counts if those shots are landing. I repeat: Manny Pacquiao landed nearly twice as many shots as Bradley, something like 82 more powerpunches as well. The fight wasn't close - no credible reporter is claiming Bradley won, just a few haters on the net. I thought 9-3 to Pacquiao would be a fair reflection of the fight - to see it go the other way is a clear robbery.

    The 3rd Marquez fight was close (I had Marquez 7 to 5 myself) - this fight was not close at all. There were a few close ROUNDS, but the final result was caused by either corruption, incompetence or both.

    Kellerman said in the post fight commentary, that a lot of people ringside had Timmy winning. I thought it was a draw or 7-5 Pac.

    I sincerely hope you're not relying on compubox for those figures. There's more to the story of a fight than how many punches landed. And Pacquiao's 'landed' stats especially generally tend to be exaggerated.
