When you have Bogotazo, one of the biggest JMM fans here, saying Pac-Bradley was a bigger robbery than JMM III, then I don't know what is wrong with you trying to justify the Pac-Bradley decision.
He does have a good defense but not outstanding. especially when he goes in offense throwing wide shots, opens himself up.
I won a lot of money betting on Bradley to win by decision at 6/1, but even I know it was a complete fluke because Pacquiao won the fight. I've hardly bet on anything since!
His defense not so much in blocking punches,but more of bobbing and weaving,Manny was missing a lot,but still getting credit for punches not landed..
Same punch but both with different Facial reactions from Pacquiao and Bradley. So many pictures of Pacquiao connecting.
Anyone who cant see HBO dripping off of Pacs nuts in that fight cant be taken seriously as posters..... it was beyond obvious they were calling the action through Pac tinted glasses. Its been beyond obvious that Jim Lampley has lost all semblance of professionalism and has become simply a cheerleader on ringside for a fighter he chooses to look at, instead of calling the action as a nuetral observer. And Im saying that as someone who generally likes Jim and I dont want to see him gone from HBO, I am thankful for his show the fight game and that he is a voice for boxing but really, he has become a dramatic cheerleader. Awesome video. The fight was a lot closer then many think it was. Bradley did some awesome boxing on the scientific side. However, I still do not think he won the fight. I do think it was competetive, and closer then most have it though.
You got the numbers mixed up. 46% had Marquez winning, 42% had it a draw and 12% excited it for Pacquiao.
:good Nobody ever seems to think about this. They tell everyone how to think, and the people eat it all up.
I bet $20 for Bradley on that fight on bovada just for the F of it. Just because Bradley was such an underdog. When the fight ended, I thought, "I lost a 20, not too bad." But when they named the winner was like WTF!, I just made $80?
Yeah I have said it several times,but the win was an exaggerated one,as if Tim just got stomped.. And HBO played a big role in why people said he owned him.. ALL the replays were PRO Pac,nothing Tim done was talked about.. This had to be the worst HBO broadcast in a long time as far as bias.. People saw Pac fight,and not a match between two fighters,so they saw every thing he did.. Really goes to show you how the media can manipulate people.. Also Compubox imo has lost all credibility,to be off by 5% I can understand,but they were way off,counting punches that did not even land,or were blocked..
Pacquiao lost by coming out late and pissing off the judges, he was also clowning and taking it easy, can't blame them for giving the fight to bradley, should have knocked out bradley and stopped playing with him
