I see it the same way. For me, Bradley won the first two rounds, and clearly won the last three. I gave him one more round somewhere in between and scored one round even. I had Pac up 5-3-1 in rounds going into the 10th, but he did nothing in the last three rounds. Even Roach said to Pac at the end of the 10th, that Pac had 'thrown that one away.' It depends on the circumstance, but generally I'm not one to think that one hard shot cancels out 5 or 6 semi-soft punches, especially in a case where only one or two hard punches are landed in a round. A scoring punch is a scoring punch, even if it's a pitty-pat shot. As long as it's landing clean, it's a scoring punch. I also agree that no round could be given 10-8 to Pac. For me, a fighter has to hand out a sustained beating to another fighter in a round to get a 10-8 round, and Pac didn't do that.
Fights are won on punches landed, not punches thrown. It's like with Floyd, there are fights where his opponent throws a lot more punches, but nothing lands, and even if Floyd's punches are lesser, he connects more. Bradley did not land any significant things(blocked and misses) Even Bradley admits defeat..This is a disgrace, one of the worse robbery ever..
plus the keywords in clean effective punching a lot of Bradders punches were slaps with no power, u get away with that if your gunna throw 60 punches a round like calzaghe but not if your throwing 10 or 11 and being counted with massive lefs hands that are clearly rocking your head
If that fight carried on for another 5 rounds there was only one man going down and that was Bradley. You could watch that fight a hundred times and Pacquiao still wins. Hell, people were leaving the arena during the 12th so sure were they of the result. One of the worst decisions of recent years.
actually to be fair from in the last 2 rounds Bradley has his best moments of the fight so you could say maybe manny was fading and over 15 rounds Bradley might have been able to close the cards up (or give him self a bigger margin of victor depending who you thought won)
What makes you think that? Because Pac wasn't fighting in his usual style? It was pretty clear to me that Bradley's intention was to fight Pac as JMM did and Pac totally neutralized it. Bradley went into the fight looking to control the fight with the lead right and Pac took it away with ease.

So mayweather sr and jeff mayweather are now *******s! :bbb So with delahoya and marquez.......they are *******s eh.....
Everyone makes mistakes... This was a BIG robbery but as Bob said...."it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy". Too bad their are far more negative effects being the "winner" than if he had of been given the right decision and lost.
What was Bradly's fight? It looked to me that his fight was to mimic JMM with lead and counter rights which failed miserably. In the end he was jabbing gloves and running trying to go 12. If surviving the fight counts as ring generalship then we really need to clean house.
