Which fight was closer ? Lederman and Hbo had it a blowout, oddly enough Harold only gave Bradley and Donaire 1 round and it was the same round ... The 10th.
I've seen guys make a case for PAC vs Bradley being close giving Bradley rounds 9-12 and 1-2.
Now we are seeing the same for Donaire, 114-113 scorecards even some draws.
Which fight was more competitive ?
I thought Bradley beat Pac..But could see a win for Pac as well..I only seen one logical outcome for the Rigo Donaire fight..A clear victory for Rigo..
he was hurting Bradley in the last 4 rounds.
pacquiao discovered Bradley had no power and he went to work on the inside, landing the bigger shots.

I had Donaire winning by atleast one point because he was the one applying all the pressure and got the knock down. He made rigo run so he controlled the ring better. Rigo was pretty much on survival if it wasn't for Donaire's pressure.
Discussing the Pac-Bradley fight again is pissing me off. It's shit like this that is killing the sport. Even the damn judges don't know how to score a fight. A high-profile fight like that ends in a blatant robbery. SMH It's like the Super Bowl going to a team that benefited from several blown calls. Disgusting.
That happened in the last Super Bowl. :grumble:
Pac getting robbed in that fight is still mind-boggling to me. What the hell sense did it make?
Pac vs. Bradley. I don't agree with the reasoning, but you can stretch and find 5 rounds for Bradley, if you're giving him too much credit. Can't do that for Donaire.
Wassup, bro.
I thought Tim was far more competitive than Donaire, and yet I thought the decision in Pac-Bradley was a blatant robbery. At least Tim tried to return fire; Nonito went through long stretches where he simply followed Guillermo around the ring, without throwing any punches.
tho it's not like guillermo was doing anything in those moments besides moving also
PAC vs Bradley felt a lot closer in my opinion because Bradley was able to put a few rounds together. I thought Bradley won 3 out of the last 5 rounds ... Maybe even 4.
Ad the first two rounds were very close I thought he won't the 1st round pretty clearly.
In Donaire case, even the 10th round which was clearly his best he only won around 45 seconds of that round.
The difference is Pac took his foot off the gas in rounds 11 and 12 and Rigo stepped on the gas.
Still clear wins for Pac and Rigo anyway you slice it though.
Hmmm
IMO the range of reasonable scores for Pac/Bradley was 118-110 to 115-113
Clear rounds for Bradley - 10
Rounds that could be scored for Bradley - 1,2,10,11,12
My score - 116-112 for Pacquiao
For Donaire/Rigo I think its 118-109 to 116-111
Clear rounds for Donaire - 10 plus KD
Rounds that could be scored for Donaire - 2,7,10
My score - 118-109 to Rigo
I think its about even with the slight edge to Pac/Bradley being closer. You could argue the other way with the KD.

I think Donaire-Rigo was basically a shutout for Rigo. Pacquiao-Bradley was a lot closer. I'm one of the few who agreed with the 115-113 scorecard for Bradley. I just didn't feel Pac was active enough to win a lot of rounds. He would throw nice flurries in the last 30 seconds but did not do much for the majority of most rounds. The first time I saw Pacquiao-Bradley I honestly thought it was a draw and that they would give it to Manny. I was as shocked as everyone else when they gave it to Bradley, although after watching it a bunch of times I see why. Still, a close fight in my opinion.

I don't sit there and score fights round by round usually but I'm saying Pac vs Bradley was a lot closer with out scoring the only round I can think of that Donaire won was the round with the knockdown
The man who started this thread is very intelligent
I vote for ( Pac vs Bradley ) to be the closer one
because It had much more exchanges , and I remember Bradley being brave enough to go toe-to-toe with Pac at some moments of the fight
Bradley Vs Pac...I could easily find 3 rounds at the most to give to Bradley, maybe even 4 if your really reaching.
With Doniare Vs Rigo the only round I scored of Donaire was the knockdown road and maybe round 3-4 can't rmember.
Anyways the winner, Tim Bradley.
