A draw came as a surprise to me but what is more surprising is that many on the net are scoring the replay much closer than before. Many had it a draw after seeing the replay.
That seems to be the norm across the net. I listened to the HBO commentators and then went back to try to see what they were seeing. They were very bias for Pacman for the most part.
no disrepect here but watch this round again especially that last 45 seconds. bradley was eating lefts and rights and was thrown back a few meters a couple of times here.
Maybe...or... Bradley is very underrated... The guy did adapt very well. Defense was very good on the second half. I think the truth is Pacquiao getting older (but still being elite) and Bradley being much better than what people think. I'm no ****ing bragger but I had this coming. Bradley is real (despite having no punching power...sadly).
same here. bradley landed a good jab a couple of times but probably you missed the action with a minute left where pac connects some good shots other than the body. it's a couple of left hooks from 51 secs i think. then bradley was forced to the corner and clinched his way out. good action in the lst 20 secs though from both sides. other than that, i can see why you gave all the final rounds to bradley.
Bradley, took Pacman's best shots and he never appeared to be hurt or close to being knocked down let alone KOed. Neither fighter was able to hurt the other much.
I picked Bradley by TKO in the 9th. I felt that Pacman was too heavy and out of shape for this fight. Bradley is a pressure fighter and I felt Pacman had had too many distractions and was not in the best of shape. I do feel that is Pacman wants it he can stop Bradley in a rematch.
So many of these rounds could have gone either way but I don't think it was a blow out for Pacman. It was a close fight.
tim has a good chin. it was the best shots of the rounds that started in a couple of left hooks, right to the chin and another left hook that thowed bradley back 19 secs left. again, i can see how you can give all the other rounds for bradley except for 7 and 6.
