there i said it.
I know there are videos showing that Bradley was doing good movements around the ring during the fight. moving away from punches and whatnot. but He DID NOT do enough to win convincingly and Pacquiao CLEARLY landed the harder shots all night AND was overall the more aggressive combatant.

this video suggests that Bradley was doing a great job at moving away/blocking punches and Jim Lampley's commentaries are not so accurate (although in the video you can clearly see punches landing in favor of Pacquiao thus making the video somewhat biased.)
The video also displays how in a sense COMPUBOX is INACCURATE (Punches that pacquaio threw landed on gloves may have been counted as "landed")
Still, even with a video like this to "prove" said claims that pac man was being credited for missed shots and Bradley NOT being credited for his "head movements", Bradley DID NOT do enough to win the fight at all.
I will even go so far to say that Bradley fought WORSE than Marquez did against Pacquaio and yes, IMO Marquez should've won the 3rd fight .
Before this post gets flamed I would like to include that I have never had PACs nuts in my mouth unlike some people on this board.
It was a close fight, anyone who thinks that it was a blowout either way is blind. I respect your opinion that Pacquiao won(I agree) but if you can't respect the next man's opinion then it's you who is being the fanboy.
If you can justify Bradley Pacquiao being a close fight and Bradley winning, than you better not say Marquez was robbed against Pacman and justify Pacs win over Marquez the same way you are for Bradley, because that was a much closer fight, yet the same guys saying Bradley won or it was a closer fight are the same ones who claim Marquez blew out pacman in all three fights, which were actually much closer and competitive than Bradley.
In fact The OP is correct, Marquez fought 100 times better than Bradley and he had no look of fear or uncertainty on his face, Bradley looked out of place, throwing air jabs similar to Mosley, and only hitting Pacman when Pac put the two pillar defense up to invite him, similiar to how he baited Cotto and Clottey,
to me Pac was imposing his will on Bradley, taunting him, with machismo, Bradley showed caution, not generalship. Bradley was impressive when he was slipping punches, but that doesn't win fights, because Pacman slipped just as many or blocked many.
Infact Cotto a washed up older fighter at a higher weight hit Mayweather with more clean punches than Bradley did to Pac, and Cotto lost to Floyd by a landslide in what Mayweather claims was his toughest fight, tougher than Castillo who arguably beat him and tougher than Augustus who he previously said was his toughest fight.
So I ask of you in an unbiased manner to make an argument for Pacquiao winning the third fight wiht Marquez, if you can't, than you are just picking Bradley because you hate Pacquiao, because like I said Bradley didn't do jack, the challenger didnt take it tot he champi0n, it was the champion who took it to the challenger and still lost.

I'm no Bradley fan.
Care to give me your scorecard and how you scored it round by round?
Right, but you're a JMM/Mayweather fan which explains your reasoning. What is the point of me posting my scorecard when you'll just disagree on every round I score for Pacquiao ?
There is no convincing you and I'm not going to waste any more time trying.
I'm no Bradley fan.
I am, and I think he has a genuine shot at winning the rematch but he did not win that fight, not even close. It's the equivalent of giving Cotto the decision over Mayweather, ridiculous.
Tons of people got too excited with the flashy style and agression of Pac but didn´t noticed he wasn´t that effective, Bradley´s defensive movements were too fast for their untrained eyes. Other people think judges score for the crowd, other people think this is scored as amateur boxing and other people think compubox is the one and only measurement stick.
I´m glad that judges got it right this time for once, although I´m a little disappointed that they had to wait for an american boxer in order to do a proper work.
I remember watching Bradley land a hard left & right body shot, then hearing commentating claiming that Pacman landed a body shot. I knew them bwoys was tripping.
I saw that video too. I can make one for floyd or any fighter if we just slow mo their misses. cmon.. every fighter has a lot of misses. and that was a stupid video..
i had pac-brad 116-114 for pac with 2 rounds even.
Do it make one for Floyd
Everyone knows it was a clear win for Pacquiao and it wasn't a close fight. No need to try to convince Bradley fans. They are few but they have a lot of free time.

Your not suppose to take a champs title by running away landing less and getting tagged more If you can't see this than your very bias or very stupid
The fact that bradley got a decision is a bit of a modern miracle. The decision he got goes against everything what has happened in boxing in its 100 plus year boxing history.
He moved his head and dodge and ducked for his life, and it has been said he avoided a face like Margarito and david diaz, so the head movement did its job.
But you have to score as well and apply your will and desire to show you want the belt. He showed desire to not look ugly after the fight and he achieved that, but he didnt achieve victory.Looks at join date...looks at post...:nonono:

How do you know PAC landed the harder shots? I completely disagree. Bradley's body punches were the best blows of the fight and had the most effect (judging by Manny's tiring and lack of output in the championship rounds).
