Comments Thread For: Duane Ford To Explain Pacquiao-Bradley Card To Lampley

[loui_ludwig]

I thought Hopkins schooled Pascal the first fight, but the fight was close.

A fighter can school another fighter in a close fight. Possibly come back from losing, and start schooling the other fighter. Like Marquez-Pacquiao I. Obviously, you have to use common sense, Ford says Pacquiao was winning the first half. So he didn't get schooled throughout the whole fight, it was after the first 7 rounds that Bradley started boxing and swept the rounds. I had it 4-3 Pacquiao at the end of the 7. Then from rounds 8-12, Pac won 2 more, Bradley won 3 more. But the momentum in my eyes looked like it was all Bradley from 8-12, but Pac managed to win 2 more there, to his credit. Bradley boxed really good from 8-12, and he won round 7.

Just my opinion, Ford seemed like he changed his tune about what he saw in the fight even though he has Bradley winning. I don't expect him to change on his scoring. Even if he watched it 10x at his home alone and changed it to a Pac winning 10 out of 10, i don't think his gonna go public and say that he was wrong.

Like i said, it is history already. I am not here to convince you to change your mind on who won. You saw what you saw. I still picked Bradley to win on a rematch(if there is one) for the same reasons i picked him last saturday.

Adding this, it seems Ford is comparing the old Pac to the Pac of the Bradley fight. Was Ford looking for the old Pac in that fight? Scoring the rounds for Bradley because it wasn't the old Pac. Did that influence his scoring? Who knows.

"A lot of the things a boxing judge sees in a round is not translated well in the airways. It doesn't even translate well with what your saying happened in the round"

Well, he was blinking a lot.

Well, he was blinking a lot.

Whether you agree with him or not, he came prepared tonight. Lampley backed off and didn't hit him with any hard ball questions.

He asked Ford about the public disagreeing with him. Ford said "Doesn't surprise me because Pacquiao is a global hero"\

He asked him about scoring he said "The same method for scoring amateur fights is not used in the professional fights"

Then he hit him with the "things that a judge sees when scoring rounds" quote.

Pac style has always been based on work rate and power and speed..Bradley was never seriously hurt by Pac so his power was not overwhelming ,Pac's speed advantage was not glaring at all imo..He did not have the better condition either..It was a close fight bro,it has nothing to do with older Pac or Pac that fought Bradley..Pac's style is effective when he has overwhelming success in those areas mention above imo..He did not look overwhelming impressive in any of those areas,which of course will standout..He was in close rds where Timmy pushed just as hard as he did..I think the fight could have went either way tbh..But I thought Bradley fought hard and fought more mins of more rds..It made the difference for me...

Well, why would Ford said that about the old and current Pac. Yes, Pac throw a lot of punches and missed but he landed more than Bradley. I am not basing this on compubox. Sometimes it surprises me when HBO shows the punch stats each round. They show more punches landed, not just 1 fighter but both. On my opinion, Pac clearly won. Bradley probably was a little busier in the first half of the fight. He threw more punches but landed few. Tim was hitting gloves, arms, and air On the 2nd half of the round, Pac threw more and landed more punches. There were also some punches that Pac was landing on Tim's head and Tim's whole body moved(due to that punch). And i see a couple of times that Pac's hurt Bradley and Tim clinched.


Pac's power and speed is there but his work rate has declined. His conditioning wasn't the same compare to the Margarito fight. You take out his conditioning, and his work rate suffers. Reason i am picking Bradley again if there is a rematch.

Got to go, gonna go to sleep. Enough talk for the day/nigh about the fight.

Although Pac won this fight, his corner is to be blamed why Pac didn't go for the KO. I thought I've heard Buboy screaming, "Don't chase him, let him come to you", something to that effect. They forgot that the opponent is not Marquez, the great counter puncher. And I gotta say that Pac's corner didn't let him be Pacquiao the risk taker. Precisely why he became a superstar.

No need for an explanation from the old fart, we know that his cataract problem is uncurable. At this moment nobody says yet that Bradley won the fight. :****block

Last I checked Lampley isn't a professional judge with 30 years of boxing experience. Ford doesn't have to explain himself to Mr.**** **** ****

Last time I check you weren't really a boxing fan just ban wagon rider, who clearly knows nothing about about boxing, hence you firmly thinking Bradley won.

Ok you can stop posting after saying Bradley was never hurt by Pac. How many more gifs do people have to make with Bradley getting his **** pushed in. OMFG you are realyl bad and truley need to stop posting lol. The more you post the more of an ass you look like.

I watched the fight again. The 1st four and the last 3 rds I can see going to Bradley. But they were close and not obvious one way or another. The was a high priced amteur fight imo. Lack of skill from pacq and bradley. And did anyone wonder y pacq couldnt drop bradley after landing his left on multiple occassions? I mean, he did put ssm on his couch after landing it? And ssm steroids or not, has a solid chin.

Looks like team pacq are out of smoke.

WTF did you watch? The judge just admitted Pac won easily from rd1-6.
