Is it a surprise that fight hype had Bradley winning the fight going into the 12th round? I haven't heard one person yet say they think they fight was close and could have gone either way.
the judges streams must have cut off in the first fight which explains their scorecards
LOOL
I had it even after 6. Then I gave Pacquiao 5 of the last 6 to win 116-112.
I just found it interesting that I didn't see many people having the fight being in doubt but FH had Bradley winning going into the 12th.
Man, how anyone had either fight close is beyond me

Pacquiao, 8-4 (gave Bradley the 12th, cos my stream cut off and I felt bad for him).
Bradley won rounds 1 and 4, but 5-9 were all Pacquiao, Bradley knew he couldn't win so tried clowning him, which made him lose even worse.
It was slightly closer than the first but that's not saying much.

You weren't paying attention then, two people around me at the bar had it a draw, I have Manny ahead by one, round, most had it about even halfway through before Bradley really started to skate down the wrong path, I know what you are trying to do here (bait) but on a serious note, why can't people like you be satisfied with the results, period, and not nitpick peoples scorecards when you got the favorable decision?
Fight Hype are a bizarre entity - a website practically affiliated with one boxer, yet we are somehow supposed to find their coverage of said boxer's great rival of that boxer credible.
What the hell are they gonna do when Floyd retires?
Not sure. Guess they better hope Ward becomes a villain, or Broner somehow recovers to become a p4p fighter.
giving the close rounds to bradley, I could see it going to a draw but that's really favoring him in the close ones. I think a 7-5 or 8-4 pac win is more likely. not a cakewalk at all for pac as folks say. It was a hard fought but deserved win.
bradpey was reappy effective boxing but he went full retard and starting going for bombs.. I love the guy for his heart but that was his undoing. he very well could have won it if he boxed like did in round 4 and 5, though manny could have something to do with his change in game plan
from the top of my head
Bradley: 1, 4, 5, 11
Pac: 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12
Less definitive rounds: 3 & 6
i had pretty much the same score. pacquiao 116 to 112
I had Manny up by one to two rds heading into the final round. I would have scored it 115-113 or 116-112 in favor of Pacquiao. I thought the judge that had it 117-111 for Manny was off. There were 3 or 4 tough to score rounds that could have gone either way depending on what someone was looking for or biased towards.
That judge was Glen Throwbridge I think.
He's infamous for being Pacquiao-biased.

and here come the haters :bottle::bottle::bottle: go back through my fukin post i support bradley 100% he only won 3 rounds last night.. maybe if bradley was mexican and had 2 countries behind him like JMM the crying would help a bit and cause a outrage but not in this case pssys stop hating on Pacquiao and be greatful you got to witness his greatness
I scored it 8-4 Pacquao. Had different rounds than Lederman though. Overall good, entertaining fight. Based on the first half of the fight, I thought Bradley was gonna win. Slowed down a lot in the second half though.
I like how he took the loss. Didn't make any excuses, and just took it like a champion. Have become a much bigger fan of his over the last year.

I thought the fight was close. Many of the early rounds could have gone either way, and being that Bradley was the champ you should favor him in the close rounds. But I thought Pac took most of the later rounds pretty convincingly. I definitely did not see 118-110 the fight was much closer than that.
All in all I was disappointed with the performance of both fighters. I thought it was a sloppy fight where the only one who established the proper distance for an assault was Pac and he didn't do that until late in the fight.
Now it looks like Bob is either going to try to cash Pac out with a Mayweather fight so he can get a piece of that pie instead of letting Pac take the fight next year when he is no longer under contract, or he will attempt to make Pac vs Marquez 15.
This fight was incredibly easy to score IMO.
Through 5 it was 3-2 Bradley. You could argue rd 5 for Manny maybe.
Pac clearly won rds 6-10.
Bradley clearly won rd 11.
My stream cut off in rd 12 so IDK, but it didn't matter at that point. Pac clearly won anywhere from 7-5 to 9-3.
I think I agree exactly with this
Ring had it a draw by the way

Bradley clearly won 2,3, 11 maybe 1 because nothing really happened for either guy,,
But manny clearly won 5,6,7,8,9,10,12
I had it 117-111 manny,, I can see 116-112
This fight wasnt close at all after 4 rounds,, manny took control, and tim didnt get off first and started to try and pull a jmm and thats when manny just added up the points..
Tim should have stayed aggressive and get his shots off first, he had much better success when he was making manny reacting to him, as opposed to reacting to manny and looking for the big counter
I wasn't completely sober last night, but I felt that it could've been a draw at the closest. It was still a nail-biter, but Pacquiao pulled away in the middle rounds. Bradley didn't have an answer for the foot feints and didn't box smartly like he did earlier in the fight.
