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

[Da Hammer]

for ****s sake, stop using compubox to prove a point, it's ****ing bogus and NOT scientific

Watch the ****ing fight and every round pacquiao was the aggressor and landed more punches. Even those rounds when pacquiao wasnt doing much, bradley countered by doing less. Are you blind?

[4Corners]

I had Pac winning rounds 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 clearly.

I had Bradley winning rounds 10 and 12 clearly.

Rounds 1 and 9 were really really close, could have gone either way.

Rounds 2 and 11 were close and pretty competitive, but I thought Manny edged them.

I had it 117-111 Pac. Don't mind 116-112 if you favored Bradley or 118-110 if you favored Pac.

I missed the part where they talk about the bribe.

Did the judges score the rounds Bradley was wobbled to Bradley?? Or do you think that wobbling him in a couple of rounds means he wins all 12 rounds?

I'm talking in a broader context than you. Pacquiao didn't suffer the only bad decision ever. I'm pointing out a marquee name crusading against bad judges holds more weight than the club fighter screwed by the hometown judges that scored the fight he won for the local kid.

Duane Ford: Bradley gave Pacquiao a Boxing Lesson

"You've got to put the ball in the basket and Manny didn't put the ball in the basket enough. This isn't American Idol. If I judge for the people, I shouldn't be a judge. I went in with a clear mind and judged each round."

"I don't look at the punch stats but I saw Manny miss a lot of punches and Bradley hit Manny and win a lot of the exchanges. I'm comfortable with my performance. I thought Bradley gave Pacquiao a boxing lesson."

Yes these are the words of Duane Ford, one of the judges for the Pacquiao Bradley fight, who scored the fight 115-113 for Bradley.


Can understand why people are given these judges a pass, yet are so quick to blame Arum.

This guy is meant to teach the other judges on how to score a fight, this is what going wrong then, if this guy is the teacher, is it any wonder boxing judges are so bad.

He needs to be held accountable as well as the other judges, bans and expulsions need to be handed out.

Lets blame the people really responsible and not look for scapegoats.

Pac won 117-111 on my card.

It wasn't the total domination beatdown like Lederman, Lampley, and Rafael are acting like, because Bradley won 2 rounds at the very least, and there were a couple other really close rounds. But Pac clearly won the comfortable UD in my eyes.

Someone doesn't want manny to fight Floyd...

[check hook]

First off, let me say I thought Pacquiao won the fight. But I had it closer than most people, I scored it 115-113 for Pac. Let me also say, I was at the fight live, not front row or anything but still had a pretty good view.

Now, the HBO crew thought the fight was onesided, and it reflected in their scoring and announcing. Now you can say that everyone in the media had it for Pacquiao as well. HOWEVER, nearly everyone in the media, like most of us, watched the fight on an HBO broadcast.

The judges obviously watched it live and not from HBO's perspective. Even Max Kellerman said that he polled people on pressrow and a lot thought Bradley won. Also, Brian Kenny, whose a pretty respected boxing guy, watched the fight on pressrow, scored it 116-112 for Bradley. Few others had it for Bradley as well.

My point is, isn't it interesting how the few people who thought Bradley won were also the people who were watching on pressrow, and not on HBO? If you do some research and look at the scores from media on pressrow, you'll see most had it very close, while the media that just watched it on HBO had it wide.

I know everyone on this board will dispel this and claim to be an unbiased boxing expert who calls it like it is, but you can't say when the crowd roars and Jim Lampley creams his pants everytime Pac throws a punch whether it lands or not, that anyone's perception wouldn't be affected.

anyway, just my 2 cents. thought Pac won a close decision, but felt this was no bigger a robbery than the Marquez fight

I'm pretty much in agreeance with you. I thought it was a close fight and honestly i was a bit shocked to come home and read people calling it a big time robbery. Just didn't seem that way to me and the other 100 people in the room watching.
