    When I first saw it drunk on Sat night. I watched it like 4 times, muted, on Sunday morning while sober and gave 5 rounds to Bradley. I was influenced by the crowd and HBO crew. Everytime I tried to mention something good that Tim did, all the people in the room with me were yelling that Pac was a beast and Tim was about to get KO'd.

    I told them that HBO was not giving credit to Bradley for anything he did and they were like, "he didn't even land a punch that round". I kind of gave in but the next afternoon I saw a very different fight. With no alcohol, crowd or HBO crew, and no people to confront me every step of the way, I could properly analyze the fight. I did not think it was a one-sided blowout by any stretch.
    Two of my buddies completely changed their stance upon second review, after I had told them to re-watch it. As a whole it was a horrible night, good fight, but I couldn't get passed the commentating.

        Funny how 99.99% who watched the fight had Pacquiao won. One thing is obvious in that fight. Every time Pac turn on the offense Bradley has no answer like a wet puppy soaking in the rain. Pac took Bradley soul.

          "Bradley had no answer like a wet puppy in a rain" and "Manny took his soul" ok I could swear I heard Jim Lampley say that exact same thing post fight.

          I will rewatch to confirm

            Even if it would have been Mayweather himself id a still seen it 9-3 Even 8-4 in d only coin toss round left that being nice i could have given to Bradley. Not cause im a blind fanatic i hate that **** Marquez deserved way more 1 round that could have gone either way than what happened with Bradley he got at least 4 gift rounds that weren't he's by a mile.wtf is that

              How they tried to justify giving Pacquiao rounds 11,12 is beyond me.

              Pac did dominate when he turned it on, however it was too sporadic and never had a KD or bradley on the ropes for long. Did Pac win any 10- 8 rounds? When SRL stole rounds he stole them well. Pac did not steal rounds well and giving him 11 and 12 is a joke.



              I watched the fight live and haven't watched it again. Why? Because the judges only get to watch it once and hindsight is all well and good after the fact.

              I had it a draw but expected a split decision for pac. Had Money on Pac KO and by round 5 I thought my money was good. Then by round 9 Pac turned off the pedal and lost the late ones.

              Bradley won 1,9,11 and 12 minimum. And by that fact alone pac didn't dominate as there were close 2-3 rounds which could of gone either way
              Sometimes I miss DLH fanboys.

                Actually this happened to me too .. i re watched quietly in my room with the volume kinda down and trying to see how pac was robben so badly.

                And was surprised at how close actually was. The power differential seemed bad because pacquiao just hits with excelent power. But Timmy was in there boxing, maybe not as espectacular or flashy but he was actually doin a good job boxing.

                For the record i am not saying i think timmy won.. i am just sayin that the HBO crew ( wish i do like most of the time ) was extremely biased.

                  its not even funny I lost some respect for the HBO crew after the **** **** incident in the Clottey fight but that **** riding in the Bradley they can't be taken seriously anymore HBO needs to get a new crew together.

                  Keep Max and Roy Jones and get rid of the rest
