All felt this fight wasn't even close... Pacquiao dominated.

[gauze]

just finished re-watching this sober and muted. i thought pacquiao was dominating when i watched it live (118/117-110/111 ish) so you'll see my name listed under that 83%

my "official" unofficial scorecard reads 114-114. i'm ok with the decision

[Hougigo]

How long do you think people will be mad about this.
I'm going to a Filipino Friendship Festival at the end of the Month and I'm going to make a Bradley shirt with a pic of him punching Pacquiao saying:
Timothy "The Pacquiao Slayer" Bradley
I want them to get as mad as possible and see if they kick me out.

“I was in total control (of the fight),” said Pacquiao. “Fact is, in the 10th round, I’ve been winking to the HBO people because I know Bradley can’t beat me anymore.” -Pacquiao

It wasn't even close. Total 1-sided victory by Manny Pacquiao. There's really no reason to face Bradley again except to just punish him.

I had Pac losing rounds 10-12...........his own comments even show he was coasting and not doing anything...........Lederman gave Pac 2 out of the 3 rounds that he did nothing.

real life trolling

aint nothing better

One thing I've learned about boxing is that if a fighter is truly up by that much going into championship rounds...he hardly ever just loses all the championship rounds. I really thought it was a close fight but that Manny dominated much of rounds 3-8ish and that would be enough for him to squeeze by. Plus, I thought he would be the one getting the benefit of the doubt. He musta pissed someone off

i disagree, Bradley didint take the belt off him, he didint really push it and take it from the champion. i felt bradley won no more than 3 rounds, i felt its unfair to treat the fight like some title eliminator, to me you have to take the belt and bradley didint do that.

Casuals will be casuals. Still it's a bad look for the sport when it happens on the biggest stage.

Nice vid sig. Bradley looked hattoned, but didn't go down, but that was lethal. damn! Ouch!



Look at how bradley tried to get his right in, Pac measured him by millimeters in evading the right by a hair, and brought his left with vicious intent.

I'm a huge Bradley fan and I scored it at least 1 if not 2 rounds in favor of Pac. That being said, it came down to a couple of things for me.

1. Pac is a much stronger puncher than Bradley is.

2. Pac is one of the most renown boxers in the world and fighter of the decade

3. Pac is p4p#1 or p4p#2 at worst in the entire world.

4. Pac normally demolishes his opponents

5. Bradley was moving up in weight

6.. This was Bradley's first PPV headline and biggest fight of his career, Pac had been there many times before and Tim is not his biggest fight.

Now, at first, I was caught up in the power and impact of Pac's punches in the first few rounds. As the fight progressed, I noticed he was taking the first 2 minutes of each round and stealing it at the end. I noticed that the crowd went wild every single time Pac landed or appeared to land a punch.

Given the points that I mentioned above, I believe that Pac should be held to a higher standard than most fighters. If you are the bigger, harder punching guy, who is fighting a guy moving up in weight and you are kind of expected to KO him, then anything short of a KO is less than expected.

Secondly, If you are expected to be so much stronger than your opponent and you have traditionally trashed your opponents up, then not being able to make the other guy bleed or at least knock him down once is less than expected.

Then there is the fact that Pac is a PPV mainstay and this was Tim's first PPV headline so Manny even had the comfort factor. Add in the fact that Tim had a twisted ankle or two and I can see all sorts of things that the judges could be using to judge the fight.

Pac was taking the majority of rounds off and getting out boxed in the later rounds by Tim.

It's kind of like the HBO crew when they were bashing Martinez against Macklin saying he wasn't living up to his reputation and then he KO's Macklin and they are on Martinez' sack.

I kind of looked at it like Pac wasn't living up to his reputation to a degree and judging the fight basically came down to weighing the amount of damage Pac would do in his last 30 seconds of the round flurries to the degree that an injured Bradley (with all the extraneous factors) outboxed him the other 2/3's of the round.

I found myself asking is it really fair for Manny Pacquiao to do nothing and try to steal the round in the closing seconds on a few good punches when he is who he is? To me, he should have put Tim out, if he was capable of doing it and considered to be one of the best fighters of all time, is giving 33% going to win the fight?

I found 7 rounds where I thought that Pac's noticeable punches outweighed what Bradley was able to do. I could imagine the judges using similar logic to score rounds for Tim.

If they fought again, I think Tim is going to do much better and Pac will not fair as well.

These are professional judges who have training and decades of experience and they are always within 25 feet of the action and are watching it in real life. You are a dumbass who doesn't know how to judge a boxing fight and has ZERO experience and was watching the fight on a 2-dimensional screen.

I'll take their expert judgement over yours any day.

all 3 judges have experience in over 30 title fights; dave morretti has judged over 100.

safe to say - when they say pacquiao won, its the truth.

harold lederman is another well respected expert, he had pacquiao winning big as did i

but then again, seeing the jmm fanboys give jmm round 3 in the replay thread................i now know how they arrived at their scorecards.
