Did you re-watch it in slo mo 3D?
Hahaha... Naw
Im not saying that he won the first 3 rounds, but I can understand why someof the judges and some people watching would have given him those rounds.
I think I would say it is 2-2 after 4.
Thank you bro..... I saw the fight EXACTLY how you saw it after I re-watched it his morning..... I was drunk last night, and other people around me were cheering for bullsh*t.
After re-watching it, I had it a draw.
One round either way, and we would have had the same result.
I cant lie, I was screaming robbery lst night, but I am rewaching the fight right now, and there is a VERY GOOD case in saying that Tim Bradley won the first 3 rounds.
I thought he won the 1st by boxing and because PAc didnt do too much until the last 10 seconds of the round.
In the 2nd round, yes Pac landed 4 more shots, and was 19 of 39 or something, but Bradley landed 15 of 72. He nearly doubled the output, and was the busier fighter, and let off a few little flurries.
Now the 3rd round, I think think Bradley went in there and won almost the entire round. In the last 20-30 seconds or so, Pac did land some good punches, but I dont they were enough to negate the first 2:40 of the round.
Round 4 was the first round Pacquiao won, where the round was not even close.
Watched the fight for the first time, no audio, and scored it 115-113 for Bradley. A lot of the rounds were very close and could have gone either way, & I had it dead even going into the last 2 rounds.
How a fight as close as this one can having so many people claiming it was a robbery is beyond me, some people just can't handle a loss.
Quoting this, because for the most part, this is how I feel.
Only difference is, I had it a draw, with Tim sweeping 10-11-12.
I dont know if you guys have seen this video, but could Pacquiao have been planning on leaving Top Rank?
Floyd said that Cotto's contract was gonna be up with Top Rank, and that if he was going to leave, Cotto was going to be beat before he left.....
Could this have been one of the reasons Manny "got robbed" (although I think the fight was a draw)?
He starts off around the 40 second mark.
The first round could have went to either as neither did anything. I didn't see Bradley do enough to win the 3rd.
Well if the first could have went either way, then that would have made it a draw......
How can you say Pac "CLEARLY" won the fight?
On first look 9-3 rounds Pac, But am going to watch it again just to see how i scored it, But even if it was that close you would have expect Pacquiao to get the decision, so no matter how they dice it this fight is shoddy.
Its a lot closer than you think..... So far, I still have Manny winning, but its not in a landslide like HBO would like you to think.
Bob Arum refuses a rematch for Pacquiao!!!!

Finally just re-watched the fight (on an overseas station that I couldn't understand) and here is how I have it:
1. Pac
2. Bradley
3. Pac
4. Pac
5. Pac
6. Pac
7. Pac
8. Pac
9. Bradley
10. Bradley
11. Bradley
12. Bradley
Total: 115-113 Pac
The fight WAS closer than I initially had it but Pac still clearly won. The rounds where close but Pac landed more, threw more and had the higher %. How Bradley won is beyond me especially when JMM completely schooled Pac last year and lost by a UD. I had that fight a draw and won't dispute the outcome, I only question the outcome because JMM "beat" Pac more than Bradley did and still lost.
This tells me that Bob Arum has his hands wrapped around the sport pretty tightly. At the end of the day Bob is getting another in house Top Rank fight where he controls the money. Which yet again has nothing to do with giving the fans the fight they want...
However I hope Bradley's ankles will keep him from a rematch in November as I want to hear Bob's excuse as to why he doesn't want to make the Mayweather fight.
How can you give Rounds 1 and 3 to Manny? Manny did NOTHING in the 1st round, except for the last 10 seconds. Also, in the 3rd round, Bradley dominated the round, except for a little Pac flurry in the last 20 seconds....
I had it eith 6-6 or 7-5 for Pacquiao....
Timmy swept the Championship rounds. He won 1,2, 10,11,12.... There was one or two rounds in the middle that could have went to Bradley, but I gave them to Pac, and gave him the benefit of the doubt.
The counter-argument is obviously that Pacquiao landed the harder, more 'meaningful' punches.
I understand that, but a majority of the punches that were landed by Bradley were power punches. He just didnt have a ton of power.....
not sure if this has been posted yet: Compubox Stats

See, I gave the first 2 rounds to Bradley..... I felt the 1 punch deficit, and 4 punch deficit in each round, was more than made up by how much more busy, and how many more punches Bradley threw.
EDIT: Also i the 3rd round, the punch stats dont show the whole story.... Timmy actually controlled and won most of that round, but in the last 20-30 seconds, Pacquiao had a little flurry. Looking at the punch stats, someone would have thought that Pac dominated that round, when that was NOT the case.
Dont bet on it htown, youre not good at betting. That at least 2 months with no new shoes.
I would never make that bet Reed, because I could never EVER be able to keep my part of the deal.
Although I need to really slow down..... I spent damn near a grand on kicks in the last 3-4 weeks. Even my girl, who lets me buy whatever kicks I want, told me I am going overboard. Time to slow down.
I think the only way to beat Mayweather is to be an EFFECTIVE counter puncher.
Fight moving back, letting Floyd come forward, and throwing shots IN BETWEEN Floyd's punches.
Actually, on the contrary, there was a round where Cotto threw a shot, and it clearly landed on Mayweather's glove in the corner, and Lampley yelled "BOOM!" and talked about how Cotto was catching May with big shots.
Also, in another round, Mayweather threw threw consecutive 1-2's, and the first one 1-2 clearly landed, and Lampley yeleed "Misses with one right rand. Misses with the second right hand. Misses with the 3rd!".
It was one way or another, it was typical Lampley talking up the fight.
just rewatched it 5 times and it was alot closer the 1st time i watched it.now that im not drunk and actually watching it.Floyd dominated and Cotto showed alot of heart but was missing alot of punches and down right getting beat up toward the end
This is basically how I felt...... Floyd dominated more than I thought he did while I was drunk.
I will say tho, the rounds that Floyd did lose, I thought Cotto did better than what I thought he did in those rounds.
Just a GREAT fight all around.
that was just mayweather wiping the blood from his nose.
His wrapped is ripped just like Margarito, an obvious sign of plaster...... Ban Floyd for life!
And if he did it here, who is to say he never did it before? All of his wins should have asterisks by them......
How soon until a Cotto Stan says Floyd used PLASTER? (Pic Inside!)
They did it with Margarito, so when will Floyd be labeled as a "cheater"?

I know that I am a *****, but Roy scarred me for life, and Im getting that feeling...
that I get before all of my favorite fighters fight..... the feeling that my fighter may get knocked out, or lose. I remember Roy getting KO'd by Tarver, when I felt he was unbeatable. When he was the baddest man that ever walked this planet.
As much as I dog, hate, and troll about Cotto, the truth is he is a good fighter, and as live an underdog as there can be. He has the power, and skill to be able to give Floyd fits, and think he is capable of pulling of the upset.
Ive been on the Mayweather Bandwagon for as long I can remember, and Im riding with Floyd all the way.
WAR MAYWEATHER!
I thought it was awesome..... Just a cool, broad spectrum, of different big names, from different industries.
I must say tho, Gamboa looked like a Murder for Hire hitman.... He looked like a real bad ass.
That cheater! He deserves to be banned from the sport! Ban him for life! Throw him in jail NO, throw his ass in Guantanamo bay!
He ruined Cotto's career!
Is what I would say if I was a stupid fanboy.
Cotto should be undefeated....... All of his losses have come against CHEATERS.
what do you mean? haha, just kidding. that's pretty awesome man. you're obviously in corpus christi for the fights tomorrow? if you're planning to take pics during the fights, it'd be nice if you posted them up. good stuff though, arreola looks like he would be a cool dude.
Yea, born and raised here in CC....... I'm trying to find Paul and Tavoris and Paul now. Hopefully they come through. They have to walk by the bar when they either come in or out.
