Mayweather went all the way to 154 after watching Khan's terrifying welterweight catchweight debut against Diaz.
A CLEAR win for Pac. Sometimes close, sometimes wide, but CLEAR. That's the difference with a close match like Hagler vs Leonard, where the press scores were split. Associated Press: 117-112 Hagler Baltimore Sun: 7-5 in rounds Leonard Boston Globe: 117-111 Leonard Boston Herald 116-113 Leonard Chicago Sun-Times: 115-114 Hagler Chicago Tribune: 7-5 in rounds Hagler HBO Judge Harold Lederman: 115-113 Leonard Houston Chronicle: 115-114 Leonard KO Magazine: 118-111 Leonard New York Daily News: 117-111 Leonard New York Post: 114-114 New York Times: 114-114 Newsday: 115-114 Hagler Oakland Tribune: 117-112 Leonard The Ring: 115-113 Leonard San Jose Mercury-News: 116-115 Hagler Washington Post: 114-114
So it can't be close unless a particular sampling of cards (and, really, nothing stops you from limiting your sampling to skew to your bias ) has it split both ways? If that's your logic, that's frankly pretty stupid. If you're taking a position that it was close but clear for Pacquiao - which happens to be my position as well, remember...I scored it 115-113 Pacquiao and stand by that - you are better served posting a RBR scorecard illustrating which iron-clad non-debatable seven rounds Pacquiao won rather than simply rehashing lists of who scored it for Pac by wildly divergent scores, or else your argument is moot. For it to be a close bout where 115-113 is acceptable but a draw or 115-113 for Bradley isn't, you need to prove beyond a shadow of doubt that Pacquiao had seven clear rounds that couldn't possibly go Bradley's way. See? That's a bit more difficult and daunting a task you've bit off than a nice chewable morsel like copying and pasting some tired list that doesn't really serve your argument. You have your work cut out for you. Good luck.
There was nothing close about the fifth rd; it was Pac's most dominant rd of the fight, and 2 criminals robbed him in favor of Bradley. If that doesn't tell you it was a crooked decision, nothing will. And the scores of Hagler vs Leonard are those shown on the boxrec page, just the same as Pac vs Bradley. Now you go and consult a lawyer before answering...
Close this thread it's turned into a clusterfck about who won the fight, it was clearly a Pac win lol - just like Pac Marquez 3 was clearly a Marquez win.
That's one round. Before we even get into discussing it, realize you've only completed 1/7 of the assignment. Prove Bradley got dominated in seven rounds, or else you can't use the "close but clear, so very clear it's the worst robbery ever!" line.
timmeh is still undefeated. he beat pac. he beat alexander. he'll beat the dog **** outta khan. that was a step backwards. if he beats marquez, he deserves a shot at floyd.
