My Pacquiao/Bradley Analysis

When I watched the fight live, with HBO commentary and fan reactions, I scored the bout 10-2 for Pacquiao. When I watched a replay on mute, I scored the bout 7-5 for Pacquiao.

More importantly, I thought only three rounds were *clear* rounds: 4 and 5 for Pacquiao and 10 for Bradley. I watched round 7 three times: Lampley used it as an example of poor scoring in the fight, but each time I watched I saw a round where neither fighter landed much effectively, and I don't think it would be at all unreasonable to give that round to Bradley if you have to score the round 10-9 one way or the other.

Ultimately I disagree with the decision, but the scoring is really not that outlandish to me anymore. Bradley didn't have the explosiveness of Pacquiao, but he used his jab and elusiveness to negate a lot of Pacquiao's firepower, and fought a very good technical fight. It was a close fight.

 

Problem is you make this about Mayweather you tend to want to deny the fact that it was a close fight, you call it robbery yet when Marquez was robbed you were talking about we need to respect the judges.

Well respect the judges one of them had Manny winning two had Tim in a close fight. Timmy had two hurt feet in this fight early in this fight, Manny was not performing as Manny usually does it showed in the fight and costed him the fight.

I had Timmy winning 7 rounds to 5 watching it live close fight, However that fourth round is up for debate... which could give Tim an 8-4 edge if you didnt buy the HBO Kool Aid

You know I am no Mayweather fan and how can you even think to call me a Pacquiao hater? is that cus I dont ride his nuts the way you do?

Problem here is to be a fan in your world you must be in denial about facts if not your a hater.
Reality here is you can be a fan of the sport and still tell the truth.... somehow you will never get that, we will see how long you stick around when Manny is gone most of you have already dropped him like a hot pancake and you got the nerve to talk about whos a fan and who is not

 

I had it 7-5 Pacquiao in a very close fight. I felt that Bradley did better in the first 2/3 of each round and Pacquiao would come on in the last 1/3 of each round.

 

I had it 10-2 Pacquiao.

At worst 9-3 Pacquiao.

 

Epic ******* butthurt all up in this thread.

Bradley swept the last three rounds - EASY. So, in order for Pacquiao to have won the fight, he needed to win 7 of the first 9 rounds. DIDN'T HAPPEN.

*******s,

Your hero LOST. Deal with it.

 

Cut the bull****...If you follow the sport more, you'll know this isnt the "biggest robbery" ever.atsch

 

7-5 for Bradley was no robbery.

 

Exactly only phony non watching boxing fans would say that..

 

I watched this in the Philippines with my father in law and was constantly commenting about how many punches Pac was missing. Watching the crowds go crazy and then telling him "he didn't hit anything". I had the fight 7-5 Bradley or 6-6 . I would even be ok with 7-5 Pac, because a lot of the rounds were very difficult to score, but this "huge robbery" stuff is a load of crap.

 

He lost. Three of the best and most respected judges say PAC lost. PAC fought like a dog. Gases out at the end. Bradley much busier. Could of probably stopped PAC if he really knew how gassed he was.

 

If only Bradley had threw more straighter punches.

 

:-(

 

Pitty pat punches aren't effective (clean and effective punches) ring a bell there??
