I've seen some posts from guys saying they thought it was close and didn't have a big problem with the draw. So I wanted to let the poll decide.
chaves looked better than he did against rios.. yes.. but he still lost on my card. overhand right from bradley kinda checked him in his place. even when bradley initiated at phone booth range, he came out one punch ahead, at least. hell, he was mostly one punch ahead in nearly all of their exchanges. even casual boxing fans watching on hbo must have pegged a bradley win. close but clear.
Watched the fight again. Had it 7-4 for Tim with 1 even. This was a competitive fight but I can't see how Chaves won more than 5 rounds. You had to be very generous to give Chaves 6 rounds. But Tim did not look good at all and I am his biggest fan. He looked lethargic and sluggish. His reflexes seemed noticeably slower than the JMM fight. I hope this isn't a trend but Tim might already be on the decline.
I watched it and scored it twice, first time 114-114 second time 115-113 bradley. no way did chaves win but a tie wasnt even horrible. Bradley winning close is fine. no way did he win 8 rounds though...
