How close was Bradley v Pacquiao?

[SUCIO416]

whoever thought bradley won this fight is a loser and they shouldnt be anywhere near boxing... not training, not fighting, not even watching live and polluting other peoples minds with their comments

A thread should be made about who won easier. Pac vs Bradley or Canelo vs Floyd.
Did Floyd beat Canelo as comfortably as Pac beat Bradley? Most ringside observers had Pac beating Bradley 10-2

Ringside observers , they don't have slow motion and rewind !

Boxing is about scoring punches that land isn't it , ringside observers are notorious for thinking something lands when it doesn't , a roar from the crowd is in many cases a chain reaction and many times nothing lands in the loudest roars , especially where you have one being aggressive moving forward and one being defensive fighting of the back foot .

The commentaries can be so off its not funny and Lampley is one of the worst for hoopla around something that didn't even land and next thing he is adding up his non scoring blows and pronouncing somebody way in front when that's not the case in reality .

First time around it looked like Manny won clearly , second time with no commentary and using rewind and slow motion it was way closer , so much that Manny threw that were scoring pts from viewers did not land .

In the end I thought Manny won a very close scoring fight .

How many people saying Ping Ping won easily have watched it more than once? And, preferably, with the awful HBO ("And Pacquaio just missed! What a dominant round for him!!!") commentary switched off?

I'm not saying I had this as a win for Timothy Bad Chin... but if you're going into a fight and only fighting for a third of each round, you've gotta accept that some of them are going to be close.

I gave Bradley 4 rounds.

He hung in there but there's absolutely no way he won the fight, and it wasn't that close either.

That said, 4 rounds against Pacquiao is a pretty good accomplishment as far as I'm concerned.

Edit: Oh, I forgot. Pacquiao landed the harder shots and outlanded Bradley by like 100 punches too.

It wasn't very close, closer than people had it for sure, but not very close. the best you could do for Bradley was say Pac won 7-5 and that's being VERY generous. If that was anything but a clear victory for Pac then Canelo deserved a draw against Mayweather.

Again who is sta clause ? My English teacher would've spelled it Santa ... If that's who you were referring to.
