Comments Thread For: HBO Sports Poll: 91% Saw Pacquiao Defeat Tim Bradley

[twosweethooks]

Sad for Boxing, I have watched boxing for over 50 years and never have I seen such sad judging as we have watched in the past two years.

Due to the criminally wicked judging the intrigue of Pac vs Jr is gone.

Pac is still P4P while Jr is emaciated in jail. Sad for Jr. Hope he turns it around and will man up and stop all the crap about money and just fight Pac.

Sad for Pac cause he if he fights Jr he will have to take less due to bad criminal judging.

the love of money has wrecked boxing, not money but the lust for it.

The Arums and the KINGS and wanna be's , all for the lust of money.

If it weren't for men who fight with desire to win boxing would die today.

If it weren't for men and women who love boxing and though ravaged by criminal judging, will stand up and be counted in these bad times then boxing will die

To put two big fights on so the public has to make a choice whether Showtime or HBO is another GREEDY MOVE FOR MONEY

Showtime made it first Canelo vs Victor and HBO needs another date.

The PUBLIC is getting the SHAFT

I watched the replay with the sound off. Commentated my damn self with a room full of people. Timmy won 8 rounds easy. Pac knows it. Everyone in the house was like damn.....Pac didn't win at all. Its like everyone who listened to the commentators are sheep who don't want to know the truth.

Really, wow , you are not thinking mang. How many were in attendance to the fight ?????

pac won it 8-4 or 7-5, bradley did not win big deal, lara was robbed way worst, funeka was robbed way worst vs guzman, abril vs rios was way worst, but since paul will n rios were the hbo star fighters they didnt make a big deal about it, now this pacfans like hbo are crying all about, jim lampley was a good announcer now hes looking bad, everybody knows that most pacfans are fans cause pacquiao n all they watch is pacquiao fans n think that every punch of pac is devastating power, seems like hbo are pacfans now, ima a pacfan but he also robbed marquez last november, this time he wasnt getting credit for wild punching

Wanted to contribute to this poll, but after a late night at work, I couldn't stay awake past the 5th rd. I had Bradley winning rd 1,2. Pacman winning 3,4,5 so far. Bradley looked good, and by that I mean he looked like a true competitor for Pac. I have no prob with them giving the fight to Bradley. The commentators and Harold Lederman and the fans just had an expected outcome as we know. This was supposed to bring us one step closer to the mega-fight we all THOUGHT we wanted. And I used to want that fight like everyone else. But now that it's not the best fighting the best in their prime, I'm not interested in seeing them fight after all. And I hope Pac gets only 20% or something if he finally does fight Floyd for backing away from a guaranteed 35 or 40 mil that Floyd offered him a few months back!

I have no dog in this fight except that I love boxing. If you care about boxing and the integrity of the sport, then this decision made you sick.

Pac obviously lost against JMM but he obviously won against Bradley. To deny that is to be intellectually dishonest.

He landed EVERY SINGLE SIGNIFICANT PUNCH in that fight. Anybody who denies that is so blinded by hatred that it allows them to justify yet another historically terrible robbery.

Watching last week, I was pretty much in line with everyone else feeling the fight was an outright robbery. But after watching again last night, I have kinda softened my stance. Last night, I purposely gave Bradley all the close rounds because I felt there wouldn't be many. But in doing that, I ended up with an 8-4 score for Storm. Which in my mind means that had I scored it "fairly" it would have been a drawish type fight. And in drawish type fights, a 7-5 decision either way is fine. What struck me the most last night is that the HBO crew, and myself, gave Pac too much credit for landing the "harder" shots. The reality is, he never hurt Bradley. And in exchanges, Bradley most of the time was giving as good as he was getting. I think the HBO crew and many others, including myself, assumed that since Pac was the harder puncher, his blows were have more effect on Bradley than Bradley"s on him. The truth is, neither guy othered by the other's punches. And another thing that got ignored is that when Pac would throw his flurries, he was missing a heckuva lot more than he was landing. All in all, the fight was a lot closer than I thought and I now have no issues with the decision and look forward to the rematch.

i agree with almost everything u said, except where u scored 8-4 for bradley, it was a close fight i think what bothers me is the big deal of the suppose outrage n boycotts of BOXING FANS lol, its none but pacfans that are crying, real boxing fans kno that pac won but it wasnt no robbery most rounds were close

If you notice in my post I said "I purposely gave Bradley all the close rounds.". That's the reason for the 8-4 score. The reality is, I could have easily scored the fight 8-4 for Pac is I had given him all the close rounds. The point I was trying to get across is that there were a lot more close rounds than I initially had thought.

One of the sidelights of HBO's television coverage of the WBC middleweight title fight between Julio Cesar Chavez Jr and Andy Lee was a poll conducted where fight fans voted on who they thought won the WBO welterweight title fight between Manny Pacquiao and undefeated Timothy “Desert Storm” Bradley, which took place last Saturday in Las Vegas.

It was a robbey plain and simple only empty head bias brothers think Bradley won those are the facts you can explain connect % Power punches Landed, punches landed Punches missed is the only depart Bradley won missing 81% of punches thrown, compared to Pac 61%. These Bradleyiots are like a ****** 3 rd grader who argues with the teacher that 3x3 = 6 not 9
