Comments Thread For: Bradley's Manager Furious Over Bob Arum Scoring Claim

This is such bullchit. I clearly remember Arum in Bradleys corner when the decision was announced cheering with Timmy. Maybe i am wrong, but all this seems very shady. Starting to feel like PacMan was setup by Papa Arum.

Winning the last 5 rounds, seriously?

And when Tim gets to the end of the film and he sees the expression on his wifes face at the end of the fight... he will know he really lost. The expression on Monicas face says it all, she just stared at the camera like "**** you". But Timmy knew he lost the fight, but what's he supposed to do when the judges give it to him anyway?

Bradley didn't win this fight and I say this as someone who was routing FOR him. It's sad because I think Bradley probably lost more potential fans in this win, then he would've probably gained in the proper loss.

Truth to the bold.

Bradley's manager needs to just shut up and give that belt back to Pacquiao.

The first 3 and last 3 rounds could easily be Bradley's. Announcers, plus fan noise played a role in people's view of this one. Too many rounds manny wasn't busy and would flurry for 30-40 seconds, fans go bananas, lederman scores to many. Look at bradleys face, he was able to slip a lot of punches that were being scored by compubox as landed.

Agreed.

I gave Bradley the first round and the last 5.

The fight was a draw.

[j2rembert]

tim bradley won fair and square!

If you look at the fight again with the volume off and dont pay attention to the score cards hbo thinks. you can give the first two rounds to bradley and the last three. you give manny rounds 4-6 and 8. rounds 3,7,9 could have gone either way. So you have bradley with 5 clear won rounds vs manny with four and three up for grabs. So I think in my eyes, just like the judges. I think it was a fair win. Not a robbery!! And I personally think bradley won the first three and last four.

This.

Reminds me a bit of the first Tarver-Roy jones fight (at least from what Roy said...) where you can't just win a minute out of the round. I thought Pac won this fight but Timmy won the last few rounds and even though i don't think the rounds were THAT close in the beginning, I could see the argument i guess. I mean he'd hurt Bradley but because Bradley would come right back it never really seemed that bad. Manny was kind of let him off the hook OR he really just had no answer to when Bradley smartened up in the end. I mean it sucks that Pac lost but he seemed WAY too uncomfortoable (as usual) when Bradley started boxing. As soon as he stepped aside from the left (instead of leaning) it was kind of just downhill for Pac. I hate to say it but unless Manny comes in like the terminator next time, and Bradley just boxes I could see Bradley winning the fight....

Maybe I'm still in shock and dont know wtf im talking about. :|

Brother, don't do it. Don't make it seem like the fight was close (or like some of the rounds could have gone either way)! Timmy fought his heart out and never gave up, but he didn't win more than a round or two.
