    I watch fights for entertainment and appreciation of technical ability. Not for particular fighters. Frankly, I couldn't give a **** who won. I have no bias because I don't have a favorite fighter. The closest to a favorite I have is Rigondeaux or Froch, as one is the definition of skillful and the other is an animal. Why would I enter trying to find ways for Bradley to win :patsch

    I was watching at 5am in a tired state with HBO and Primetime forcing Pac's dick down my throat. Pac was NOT trying to win, he was trying to flurry at the end of rounds and frankly, he didn't do a great job at it. He landed some solid shots and hurt timmeh, credit is given where credit is due. I've looked at 3, 6 and 7 again and I give Timmy rounds 3 and 6 and pac round 7.

    Bradley fought rather well, he knew it takes a skillful boxer to beat pac. Add that and his foot injury to it and I don't think he was just trying to survive. He was keeping that jab in pacs face and scoring with some occasional quick flurries and when it got to the inside, he got his rough thing done. That all picks up points.

    Bradley won a close, competitive decision that IMO could have went either way. I also think it's a ridiculous idea to say that you can only score a fight once. Fresh eyes are always better for scoring.

    I scored that fight for JMM he clearly landed the best punches and Pac clearly landed the better punches here and much more.

    People need to stop fanboyism in Boxing, just like Ward, He calls it how he sees it and he is buddies with Bradley.

    When i first saw the fight, i was drunk and heavily influenced by HBO's commentary. The next day, i watched the fight again, sober and clear of mind and scored the fight a draw, giving Bradley 1,2 and 9-12.

    If anyone won this fight, it's definitely Pac. But it was a close fight. I just don't get anyone who thinks Pac won like 10-2. There were a lot of close rounds.

    Couldn't have said it better myself. You and I share the exact same scorecard. I think at best, Bradley deserved a draw or Manny wins by a round or 2.

    Manny dominated the middle rounds. So much so that rounds 9-12 have apparently been over-shadowed.

    The only rounds Bradley weren't severely out-punched were 8 and 9 :verysad

    How can anyone say Bradley did enough to win?

    I scored it 120- 107 for GOAT. I took a point away from Marques for moving his head too much.

    Its gonna be hard man. Bradley dominated rnd 1 with beautiful boxing for 2min 50, Pac lands 3 punch in the last 10 sec and hbo commentators got all wet and they said "this is clearly a pac rnd". So make your own score. Half esb are pac fan.

    Brave thread Arran, I have only seen the fight once and I scored it 116-112 to Pac, maybe I need to watch it again. What did you see differently on the second viewing, that you missed the first time you saw it?

    Lol...probably nothing. But even with all the BS and time passing more are seeing a closer fight and Pac lost. :)

    No way Bradley gets round 3, but I think he could have gotten 1 and 2. I also think he could have gotten rd 10. That puts 1, 2, 10, 11, 12 all in the bank for Timmy B. Haven't watched again, but I am betting that you can see a round or two for Timbo in the middle. He woke up for a few rounds and even the HBO *******s stated Pac was taking the first two minutes of rounds off.

    IMHO the controversy was more about the fact that Tim got the win and JMM didn't. How in the hell? JMM should IMMEDIATELY attempt to get a shot at Timbo.
