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

[STEELHEAD]

Bradley vs Pac was a very close fight too take you fanboy glass's off its PAcquiao who was scare risks and was fighting the 1st 2 minutes of rounds

sir you need to take your head out of your asss.
a close fight??? sheesh!
this whats wrong about boxing.

they need to get into more detail with these polls. out of those 91%, how many had it close? coming from someone who thought the fight could have gone either way, those poll results make it look like a really bad robbery.

just watched the fight in russian (no bias, except maybe a bit by the crowd) I scored it a tie. Pac fans have to admit he really did not do enough during the last 3 rounds - the championship rounds.

That being said I have 5 rounds that were really tough to score. I gave 3 of these rounds to Pac and 2 to bradley.

Lastly, this fight was not very entertaining I'm sorry to say. I don't even want to see a rematch, it was so dull.

Not a big bradley fan at all, but his defense was artfull - ducking, bobbing weaving - made it hard for pac to connect. Offensively bradley is weak as hell

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

How many had sound ???????????

NONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOW many in attendance thought Bradley won ??? NONE !!!!!!

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Point is....Lampley and Company are not in the judges ears telling lies and as professionals the judges were able to concentrate on what's going on in the ring and not listen to the oohs and aahs of the 99% pro-Pacquiao crowd. I bet the judges were amused at the crowd going crazy over missed punches that were doing more pushing around than connecting. Timmy deserves all the credit in the world for nullifying Pac's power and sticking to his gameplan.

They should have asked how many of you had ever heard of Tim Bradley before he signed to fight Pacquaio? How many of you know what the scoring criteria is in boxing? How many of you are Bradley fans? How many of you are Pac fans? etc. etc.

well a little over 90% of boxing journalists thought pac won...so i guess they don't know who bradley was prior to the fight or have no clue how to properly score a fight?

lmao at all the pac stans,

karma is a b.....

Marquez feels the same way after getting robbed

sir you need to take your head out of your asss.
a close fight??? sheesh!
this whats wrong about boxing.

it was close Manny didn't dominate any rounds even the rounds he won I gave Bradley rounds 1 2 7 10 11 12 I could see some one giving Bradley rounds 5 8 I could also see people giving 7 and 11 to Pac as well
too many close rounds in this fight that could have gone either way

Bradley lost the fight because after he tasted Pacs Power his in survival mode. But Bradley got the decision. Doing the rematch with Bradley is not a PPV quality for Pacquiao. Rather Pacquiao vs Marquez 4 is way better because of the threat Marquez gives everytime they fight. If Pacquiao wins the fight we want to see Pacquiao vs Mayweather then whether lose or win he needs to retire.

The world knows that Bradley is not undefeated! His 0 is bull****!

Did you watch Floyd's last fight with cotto? Floyd has to work on blocking them left hands if he gone last with PAC. Ortiz even stung him with a couple of lefts and he is not even left handed. Yea, PAC was shooting out the left str8 alot, but why not? He was tagging Tim almost everytime with. Isn't that something your brilliant mayweather do? If he finds a punch he can constantly hit you with, he keeps throwing it. It really seems like it hurt your heart to admit pacman won, why throw in negative stuff he did in the fight to bring him down. No fighter will land every punch he throws. I would still put money on the pacman if they fight, when in the hell does Floyd win by tko! He will have to fight a better fight if he fights PAC if he fights like he did against cotto, because all that backing in the corner and trying to block wont work against manny. Im sure he would bring the pressure from round 1 through 12... Taking all his lil one shot counters, but that want be enough. Floyd doesn't throw enough combinations to fuq with manny! Get that in y'all head

Floyd always is aware of the score cards. And u forgetting the fact that Floyd is bigger and has a significant reach advantage on pac. Not to mention that Pac will be facing the ultimate counter puncher. Yes Cotto got some good jabs in, but I still didn't see to many weaknesses in floyd like I see in pac. Everything pac does is repetitive. He still makes no adjustments and has no defense. He is a great fighter, but if Bradly had any offense he might have dominated the fight. I'm not biased, because I'm a boxing observer and fan before I take any boxers side. So I will say that floyd don't want no part of sergio, but pac is easy work for floyd.

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).
