Shocked initially, feeling that a large portion of Bradley's success in that ring went unseen by the HBO crew, though I'm glad the judges saw it. There were rounds I was giving to Tim, where my younger brother who was watching was telling me "Your crazy, no way Bradley got that round". I didn't know whether he was being influenced, but I knew Tim was putting in work, but in the end I felt he was short and thought Manny won. Having re-watched it a few times, I can definitely see why Bradley got it, so I'm not at all shocked. I gotta say, my neighbors, brothers and a couple of friends all saw it much closer upon watching it again.
