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

[Danny Gunz]

Not all judges give rounds to fighters who try and steal them.
I certainly don't score rounds that way, two power shots in the end of a round does not win the round if you were losing it for the other two minutes and thirty seconds.

"Can't expect to win a fight only working a minute out of every round"
Never seen this statement apply more than to this fight.

Its not stealing a round at all. He won those rounds because everything he did in the last minute was just so much better then anything Tim did. What kind of fan are you if you think hitting leather and throwing garbage punches is better then cleanly landed power punches.... come on thats not an excuse at all I dont know why people keep bringing this up

that **** was funny...roided Tasmanian devil.

How many fighters say they lost?

A lot..........

i look at Tim as a victim of a corrupt boxing system. No way he won that fight. he even admitted it by saying "i just couldn't beat the dude", and "I'll have to go watch the fight to see if we won".
If i were him I'd at least be feeling pretty much in conflict as a victim. Not his fault.

Tim gave up any right to being a victim when he accepted the belt, he knew he didn't win. Rather than being a victim of a corrupt boxing system, the fighter who accepts the belt becomes part of it.

I like Andre Ward and I like what he is saying but he wouldn't have given the belt back either, he certainly didn't when his fight with Kessler was stopped due to his headbutts.

I wouldn't expect any fighter to give the belt back, but it would be a huge statement if some day one eventually did.

Naah bro...let him keep it for now.

Manny will obliterate him in the rematch.

I have never been so confident about a match as I am with this one.

Manny looked like he was several levels above Bradley and that is saying alot as I feel Tim is the 3rd best fighter 147 and below.

I got Pacquiao in the rematch too but Bradley boxed circles around him late-on, protect your money.

Too bad it wasn't too effective against a one legged light welter....

[Carpe Diem]

The midget is still the most explosive fighter in the sport. He just needs the right opponents to put on spectacular performances.

[Rassclot]

Alpha as **** imo.

Negro engages conversation.

Ignore and finish your combo sets.

Talk with lacky.

Still ignoring Negro.

[IronDanHamza]

it is, not really a fan of him as a pundit though or McGuigan. I like McCrory.

I think McCrory is terrible!

I like McGuigan. He's one of the only one's I like.

Don't like Nelson either.

And what kills me had this decision been what it was supposed to be, a 9-3 blowout for Pac, everyone would say Bradley was outclassed no need for a rematch.

But now people are delusional from the decision and rewatching the fight convincing themselves Bradley won 5-7 rounds by pawing the jab for 2 minutes before being blasted in the face for a full minute by Pac. Now people say there needs to be a rematch because it was a 'close fight'.

I cannot believe how people are convincing themselves Bradley has a case. You have to give him too much credit to give him 5 rounds. The most he can realistically get if you are being far is 4. I'm not sure how anyone sees different.

Super middleweight boxing champion Andre Ward says that if he was Tim Bradley, he would give back the WBO welterweight title belt to Manny Pacquiao.

Bradley won a very controversial decision against Pacquiao on Saturday, and almost all of the reporters and fans in Las Vegas thought Pacquiao dominated the fight.

"It was a ridiculous decision," said Ward, who was at the fight. "Bradley lost the majority of the rounds. If it was me personally, I would admit defeat and say, 'Here's your belt back.'"

Bradley said after the fight that he would watch it again to see if he really won. But his comments got stronger later, saying he thought he "carried the fight with my jab" and that he was the "No. 2 pound-for-pound" best fighter behind Floyd Mayweather.

If Bradley did watch the fight over again, he would clearly see that he lost the fight, Ward said. Bradley didn't get one good punch in, Pacquiao said, and Ward agreed that Bradley's lack of power was evident.

"There was nothing there, nothing to suggest it was even close," Ward said. "If you were being generous, extremely generous, maybe you could give Tim four rounds and he loses 8-4. I love Tim, he is a friend of mine, but he has to know that he lost that fight."

And Bradley should say that and give the belt back to Pacquiao.

"It's the right thing to do," Ward said. "It's a tough situation, but you gotta make a stand and that will help make sure that this kind of thing doesn't happen again. He won't lose any stock - in fact, his reputation would be enhanced.

"It would help us put the reigns on this Wild Wild West situation that boxing has become."

Ironically, if Bradley had lost the fight he might be looked at more favorably by boxing fans.

"He has nothing to hang his head about," Ward said. "He hurt his foot early and he never gave up, took some good shots and hung in there."

Ward was at the Pacquiao-Bradley match to promote his Sept. 8 fight in his hometown of Oakland against light heavyweight champ Chad Dawson. Ward was stunned just like everyone else at the MGM Grand when the split-decision result was announced.

"My first reaction was shock, then anger and then sadness," Ward said. "I have dedicated half of my life to this sport and what happened Saturday is unacceptable. And it's going to continue to happen until there is a commission that starts to impose sanctions. There have to be investigations and punishments."
