Had it a draw. Gave Gonzales 1, 3, 7, 8, 9. There were multiple rounds that could have gone either way. Pascal finished stronger. If Gonzales would have taken the 10th he would have had a draw officially, and a 6-4 win on my card.
BHop thoroughly schooled Cloud.
116-112 BHop
Cloud 4,5,8,12
BHop 1,2,3,6,7,9,10,11
1,4,11,12 were very close.
I was being as generous as possible to Cloud.
It was another BHop masterpiece.
Khan hasn't shown that much more than Garcia lately; Barely survived Maidana, McCloskey made him look pretty silly before the TD, Zab took a dive, and Peterson gave him hell.
Meanwhile, Garcia has defeated Campbell Holt and Morales convincingly. For those that criticize his Morales performance, Eric TKOed an undefeated (though admittedly green) Cano and lost a close one to Maidana.
Khan is coming off back to back camps and Angel Garcia has undoubtedly gotten into his head.
Garcia has little to lose here. He deserves credit for even taking this fight. If he sits back, Khan will pick him apart and possibly stop him on cuts. He needs to do his version of what Jones did to Brook last week, only finish the job.
Tonight there will be many people who see a completely different fight on HBO's replay, if they are honest with themselves. Many others will have too much foolish pride to admit that this fight was close and could have gone either way.
Ford will state the obvious, the superior boxer schooled the superior fighter, the difference being the last three rounds. It was a robbery last Saturday night. Bradley stole the fight with superior strategy, tactics, skill and adjustments.
Pac was literally gassed and clueless as to how to deal with Bradley in the end. One of the great barometers is Jinkee's reaction during the fight. She knew it was close and could go either way.
Did JMM test positive for anything? Pac lost a close decision to Bradley too. It hurts, doesn't it . . . two fight losing streak. Rios may pound him into dust, and 0-3 over two years.
