I've seen some posts that suggest some bias from the HBO commentary, but I was watching the Sky coverage of this fight and had to put up with the truly appalling Nick Halling, who seemed more content on concentrating on what Marquez wasn't doing rather than the actual in-ring content.
Roy was slurping off Bradley as expected.
Lampley was his usual terrible self.
Max Kellerman, who I consider the voice of reason, didn't really bring much to the commentating this night.
Both were disgracefully bad tonight. It was the worst commentary I've ever heard from Jim Watt, and that's saying something.
When Marquez landed, they both somehow turned it into a positive for Bradley or as they often did, simply ignored it. An absolute disgrace. Both should be fired immediately.
Roy Jones was sucking Bradleys balls on hbo
There were times when Marquez landed, and Jim didn't acknowledge that Bradley was countering him as well, Roy did a great job.
I found it pretty funny that Richie Woodhall was so adamant that this was such a clear and comfortable victory for Bradley, but then credited Pacquiao as being among one of Bradley's wins.
For the record, I thought Bradley did win a well earned decision, so this isn't me whining over the verdict. I had Tim by two points and don't see anything wrong with having the fight even a little bit wider, but the commentary was so overly biased in Bradley's favour that you'd think Bradley were dominating almost every round.
yeah the Sky Sports wasn't the best commentary, although I did agree Bradley won, it wasn't the shut out they were making out, Marquez done alot more than they gave him credit for.
Agreed, I didn't think JMM won or anything and yes I also had it to Bradley by 2 points on first watch maybe could be 8-4 but its just the way they try to paint JMM as all negative. I was laughing whilst ignoring their ignorant cheerleading. They had feature Bradley all week so am guessing they are showcasing him now.
RJJ was giving Bradley a licking i guess to even out the bs reactions from the crowd from a half dead Marquez who wasn't doing sh*t and gave away the fight which i partly blame Nacho for..... saying that fker was winning wtf was he smoking he needs a new prescription for the Glasses maybe.
Jim Watt said you could count Marquez clean punches on your thumbs yet he ended up having it reasonably close :lol1: 116-113 I think he had it (One round even)
They were a bit OTT, but I could see what they were seeing too. Bradley was controlling the fight, almost from start to finish and it was making Marquez look average. They always do that though in both the US and here, they tend to go with the early pace setter and stick with them until they're rocked or the fight's over.
I used to like Halling as an NFL analyst, but he's really not suited to boxing. Gets far too opinionated for a lead commentator, doesn't get the role at all. He should call the action and STFU.

I had a Russian stream so for me it didn't matter, easily scored it for Bradley.
The only thing I noticed is the pro Mexican fans going crazy for every punch miss or not that Marquez threw.
Yea it was horrible from sky, I know they were trying to push bradley all week but they try to make look like JMM wasn't doing anything lol. Adam smith should be ashamed of himself.
