So.....
His reasoning was a) He penalized Manny because he didn't close Bradley out.
I've never once in my life heard that as a criteria for scoring rounds.
And b) Bradley was landing body shots in the second half of the fight.....yeah, at the pace of a few a round.
How can (2) of those judges tremendously experienced get the scores so wrong? Smells to high heaven.
Leaving aside all other things.
1) Bradley had no effective counter punching, nothing like what JMM did against Manny. So, no points on that.
2) Bradley has no power. Anyone disagree there? He has very few KOs in his career. He can't close. Who really believes he was landing the harder punches?
3) Ring Aggression? Again, anyone think Bradley was the aggressor?
4) Landed punches
5) Harder punches
They were both missing a lot. I think all else being equal. Manny hurt Bradley twice, two separate rounds, landed more punches, and harder punches.

Last month. We saw an exciting Cotto fight. Mayweather outlanded by similar amounts to this fight, but Cotto landed some good rounds and good shots. Mayweather had Cotto hurt in the last round.
It was a blow out Mayweather. I thought this was just as obvious for Manny.
Every scorer that we have seen, ex-boxer, current boxer, the AP, etc had Manny. The same people who had JMM slightly in the last fight (the correct call).
Wow to ridiculousness. Vegas is a tomb.
