HBO's commentary was a disgrace, gave Bradley no credit at all. He landed some nice shots in the later rounds, all went un-noticed by HBO. I think rnd 11 he landed a big uppercut and a big straight right to the body that hurt Pac, and HBO were discussing Pac's calves and how he's the greatest they've seen, etc. So no wonder everyone thought Pac won. Sure he landed the bigger power shots, but I think in terms of ring generalship and overall control, I felt Bradley won, Pac struggled to get close, Bradley's defense was class at times, and he was countering nicely, always throwing in combos, kept him off with the jab. Pac looked lost at how to get in at times. A good indicator as to how it was a close was too, was the Bradley corner, they were positive were obviously happy with how the fight was going and felt he could win all the way through, at not one point were they pushing for a KO or concerned he was way behind. The Lederman card was a joke (and I usually agree with him).
People who keep using the commentary as an excuse are ridiculous! I don't even pay attention to the commentary during a fight , I have been watchin boxing for over 20yrs and I know what I saw. A disgrace of a decision.
What do you think Bradleys corner is gonna tell him they were doing all they could to try and keep his head in the fight. He didn't have the look of a fighter that thought he was winning. He knew it his wifes dejected look knew it along with the rest of the world outside of about 10% of people.
It's funny that you think you know better than Harold Letterman a man who has been judging fights for over 30yrs. A man that is revered and respected in the boxing community who has more knowledge than everyone on this board, but you somehow think your analysis holds more weight, when you were probably rooting for Bradley and wanted to see Pacquiao lose. I guess the rest of the work was wrong too!Comment

Bradley didnt win the fight, Pac bossed it and him. But the thing is there is nothing that can be done about it now it seems. The best thing would have been not to give such a silly decision in the first place.
Bradley will say he thought he won, and the 2 judges did as well. Fair enough. But he must also acknowledge that most people in boxing circles had him losing, and that should keep Bradley humble, and if anything good will come out of this....Bradley wont be so arrogant like he was before the fight.
Bradley knows he won that fight, cos 2 judges said he did and gave it to him. But Bradley knows he lost that fight, as he trusts the views of anyone who knows anything about boxing had him losing from ranges of by 2 rounds right through to 11 rounds to his 1.Comment
