Didn't even have to read the BS blog..

Pac just needs to man up and fire Bob Arum..... we know the Mayweather fight happens then.

You can't just fire someone with a valid contract dude.

The only only difference between you and the 3 stooges was you didn't get paid to score it for Tim, either you're watching Tim's body all night long or you are a ****ing idiot!

I thought Bradley won more rounds that Pacquiao. I had the fight 115-113.

The announcers on HBO were biased, but the guys on SKY thought it was a close fight going into the last round. It's just how you look at the fight.

If you don't believe me, watch a replay of the fight with the sound turned off and then tell me how Manny won rounds 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 11, and 12. No way he did.

have already re watched and in 1,2,5,7 he definitely lands the best punches during all those rounds, he stole round 1 with a very good flurry at the end.
and in 10,11,12... well what did bradley do to win those rounds ? no more than manny ... thats for sure. manny clearly won 6-8 rounds. and tim slightly won 2 and manny slightly won 3-4. so there were 4-6 rounds that would somewhat difficult to judge but even still manny clearly landed the more effective punches through out the fight as well as in those close rounds.
im sorry, but this is a disgrace, any one that knows anything about the sport, would have said after that fight (before the judges fuucked everything up), that manny looked very good and dominated one of the best in the sport. it wasnt close at all, it was nearly as dominating as his victories over cotto and margarito. like this is a joke, the fact that people are actually debating this bulll****.

So you are saying Manny won round one simply because he landed two punches late in the round, particularly when those were the only meaningful punches he landed in round one.

bradley didn't once stun manny, manny was the aggressor basically the whole fight, his punches knocked bradley back more then a handful of times. You have to be ******ed to actually think bradley won, it was not even close. JMM vs PAC were close in all fights, yeah I think JMM was robbed in their last fight but it was still a lot closer then this fight, this fight was one sided.

he didn't stun manny because he's not a power puncher. doesn't mean ****. power punches are measured relative to the thrower's capacity for power punching. learn how to score a fight.

after rewatching the fight....I do have it a lot closer.....Pac landed the harder shots but Bradley controlled the distance and type of fight. I gave Tim 5 rounds and about 70% of every round. Pac only fought for the last minute of each round and landed the cleaner shots but other than that he didn't do much.

I couldn't get over how Lampley was not giving Bradley credit for anything and living Pac credit for blocked punches. You would have thought that Tim only landed 10 punches the entire fight and was lucky to escape with his life.

Manny won but it's not the worst robbery in boxing. Not even close. Manny should've ended the fight with a TKO/KO. He slowed down tremendously and let Timmy back in the fight again. Abril vs Rios and Campillo vs Cloud were much bigger robberies IMO. But this is just sad. I wanted Bradley to win but not like this.

Abril v rios was as bad, and one of the judges that screwed it up screwed up this one. Campillo cloud wasn't as bad because campillo hit the deck twice and that made for a big hole to climb out of.

You can't really compare this to any of the pacquiao-marquez fights. Those fights were all very close and reasonable. Minds could disagree as to what one rounds--pacquiao's power and aggressiveness or marquez's clean counterpunching. This wasn't close. Bradley wasn't even the aggressor--he ran most of the fight, playing counterpuncher and still ate the harder, cleaner shots.

I can't think of a single creditable fight journalist that had bradley winning this fight. Worse yet, most had it wide pacquiao. Even jmm pacquiao iii was split, with many big names like raael saying pacquiao won.

I agree, I gave the first round to Tim too....Manny only landed those 3 punches all round.

Totally agree!

Manny landed two punches at the end of round and in the eyes of all these "experts" that won him the round. Just watch round one over again and tell me who won that round and why.
