Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley Jr. RbR!!!

even marquez had manny winning by 4

 

I decided to go for a **** after the final bell, safe in the knowledge that it would just be a formality of having them read out the margins of victory for Pacquiao. Needless to say when i got back and Bradley was holding a belt and everyone in the ring (Bradley included) was looking stunned i was more than a little surprised. It took me a few minutes to figure out what had happened. Really couldn't see how they could possibly give it to Bradley.

 

Even Bradley had Pac winning ffs

 

I had Pacquiao winning 115-113 and was expecting the judges to have it a lot wider. I predicted Bradley to shade it but possibly get robbed, was very surprised for it to be the other way around.

What I will say is that the commentators were embarrassing. They were talking about Bradley as though he wasnt in the fight at all, when most of the rounds were very close. I remember the American guy saying in about the 9th that he had given Pacquiao every single round and and from the very start was talking about how Pacs uppercut 'will be the punch to END the fight', almost as though it was a forgone conclusion and Pac just had to turn up. Khan, as much as I like him as a fighter, doesnt half talk some rubbish. McCulloch was better but between the 3 of them they were dreadful. I backed Bradley and lucky I did as it made up for shelling out £15 to listen to them talk nonsense!

 

I have told you boys before but you wont listen, you must score even rounds in fights as 10-10, this will minimise the chances of a robbery, giving one boxer or the other a 10-9 decision on a whim is asking for trouble.

 

Watched it with Spanish commentary (I speak not a word of Spanish), and scored it 117-111 for Pac.

Gave Bradley, 1, 10 & 12

I can maybe see where he picks up another 2 rounds, to make the fight 115-113, however I really struggle to see where another 4 rounds come from. Indeed I could make a decent case for 1 and 12 also being given to Pac.

It was close, most of the rounds Bradley was good, just Pacquiao was better. Bradley seemed to have a lot of punches blocked/missed, where as Pacquiao seemed to throw the more precise and hurtful punches.

Bradley certainly didn't do enough to take the belt off an established champion IMO, nowhere near it.

 

Absolutely. When close rounds with nothing to choose between the fighters are having to be scored 10-9 you open things up to scenarios whereby a fighter who looks like they have clearly won the fight actually ends up losing because two of the judges score every close round to their opponent. With that said, i still don't see how they've ended up scoring 7 rounds to Bradley in this particular instance.

 

Arum being clever in all this ?

Everyone said Pacquiao would never drop a decision in any fight ....so Arum pulls the strings so he does ..as long as he promotes the opponent as well :thumbsup

What happens ... there is a huge uproar .. and a big demand for a rematch ... who benefits the most out of this ??

As far as i can see ... Arum just does not want Pacquiao to fight Mayweather at all costs ...

Promoters and incidents like this are doing boxing no favours ...and yet they seem to be happening all the time ..

Money talks bull**** walks ..

 

Spot on. That was unbelievable.

 

Only real winner , apart from timmy = bob arum

Rematch will make seerious $$$ and do well on ppv

 

Looks like Uncle Bob was upto tricks. Bradley done well but not enough to win. Pacquiao was jobbed.

Uncle Bob wins again.

 

I had it a draw, but I was so livid at how **** the commentary was I was giving Bradley rounds that were close just because I spent so much time thinking "are they watching the same ****ing fight?"

I thought that the general consensus is that Amir Khan is a ****ing moron, yet these people consistently hire him for the commentary. I'd honestly rather listen to jim watt.

 

Pacquiao won clearly...... Big time robbery!

 

just reading the posts,spot on, i watched a different fight but it was online so i bought into the shite talk

 

I've lost all my vCash because of that bull****.
