Who Won Pac-Bradley? Post fight discussion STOP MAKING NEW THREADS ABOUT THIS FIGHT.

[DLT]

you cant investigate stuff unless its pretty unanimous and the fact is there are some people who think Bradley won, it was a draw, or it was close. You cant investigate that.

Probably because he landed the better punches in those close rounds. Round 1, Pac started too late. I didn't see him land a thing till about 30 seconds left. Round 2, Bradley has his moments, b ut Pac clearly landed the better punches with those left hands, Pac's round. Round 9 could really have gone either way, could actually have been scored an even round really. Round 11, again I just didn't feel Tim did enough to win the round. At this Pac had taken his foot off the gas it seemed, but he still landed the cleaner punches.

Her you give him credit for taking his foot off the gas instead of giving Bradley credit for nullifying PAC opportunity to take advantage of all the risk Bradley threw.

"Every time you throw a punch you vulnerable to a counter" and Tim did all the work in there last nght.

I don't know how you could draw with a guy who out landed you with the harder shots and all you did is dance around and land one punch at a time.

maybe the ts is related to duane ford?

you can arguably say manny was only landing one punch at a time for most of the fight

How many did they have lets say in 2002?

And Numbers are basically down across the board, except PPV, which is kinda weird

THis is the US im talking about

Numbers are down because the fights being put on for free are pure **** and also because HBO stopped showing Wlad and Vitali who got some of the highest numbers for any HBO boxer. From around the 2003 mark fights with Mayweather, Pac, Vitali, Wlad and Cotto would get around 2-3 million viewers. Now Mayweather, Pac and Cotto are major PPV draws who don't fight for free any more. Wlad and Vitali have been cut.

Numbers are also down because HBO are now taking any fight which might get more than 2 million viewers and slapping them on PPV instead. Perfect cases of this are Dawson-Hopkins 1 (not 2), JMM vs Fedchenko, Morales vs Maidana. Soon Canelo should be busting the 2 million viewers mark but HBO decide to force him onto PPV straight away. Chavez Jr might get more than 2 million viewers against Lee but I can see him getting shoved onto PPV straight away too. Not even to mention the effect cancelled fights like Berto-Ortiz and Khan-Peterson could have had. In the end HBO are looking for the quick buck rather than building their fighters properly.

Also, numbers are in fact up on HBO since I think around 2009, when they were averaging less than 1 million per fight. This year major fights have been averaging closer to 1.5 million. Also last I heard ESPN, FOX deportees, and Showtime TV ratings have been up as well, so it indicates the problem lies purely on HBO's end. Added to that boxing is among the top sports on NBCS right now even though they're just c list cards.

Here is how HBO could have made their ratings look big again, and it's fully within their power if they just reject PPV:

Morales - Maidana - 2 million viewers
JMM - Fedchenko - 2.5 million (curiosity for JMM was huge after Pac)
Ortiz - Canelo - 2.8 million
Chavez Jr - Maidana - 2.9 million
Haye - Chisora - 2.5 million
(Winner) - Vitali or Wlad - 3 million
(loser) - Vitali or Wlad - 2 million

I'm all for change, but that is not the solution. At the end of the day the wheels will keep on turning, over ruled or not.

bradley is a damn joke i agree with you he proved he cant hang with the bigboys all he did was survive his punches looked soft ass ma flaccid dicc

[Paclan]

Well when it's your signature power shot that's saying a lot.

Bradley's signature power shot isn't even worth calling a power shot.

[DeadLikeMe]
