How close was Bradley v Pacquiao?

[Rome-By-Ko]

Means **** to you maybe, but in the eyes of the vast majority Pacquiao won the fight and these scores only back that up.

Cool,but Pac's rec won reflect it..So once again,it really means d1ck,in General..Nothing more then opinions,when the result is set in stone..

Feel how you want,but reality is Bradley won the fight..

Lol of course there will be several idiots in there but the combined numbers are what's important. This is what boxing historians do as well when there is no film to a desputed fight (go by the press scores not shady judges).

This also shows how ridiculous CJ Ross's score was in Mayweather vs Canelo, since over 80 press scores counted and not a single draw.

I agree. And in nearly all cases the combined press scores get the right decision.

It was a hard fight to score because neither men did much of anything that stood out throughout the fight. Pacquiao put on an uninspired, lackluster performance against an injured and hardly effective Bradley.

However, I remember having it 8-4 originally for Manny, then 7-5 Pacquiao on a second scoring and felt it was close so a Bradley win is not out of the question, but you have to be extremely generous to Tim. Tim Bradley really swept a lot of the last rounds because Pacquiao went into cruise control.

Pacquiao has the L on boxrec but everyone will remember he was robbed just as today people still remember Whitaker being robbed against Chavez Sr.

So I don't get what you're trying to argue here - that Pacquiao officially lost? No fucking **** smart guy.

Honestly thought it was a draw when I saw it live. I was as shocked as everyone else when they gave it to Bradley. Rewatching it, I thought Bradley outworked him. Pacquiao did not do anything most rounds until the last 30 seconds. He was not active enough and did virtually nothing the last half of the fight. Idc what people say it was a close fight and the commentary really swayed a lot of people's opinions.

There are people who also felt he won(Bradley)so are they opinions ****??Who cares about the majority..If there are still people who felt Bradley won..It's what bothers me,most that feel Pac won..Have this attitude as if you did not see a Pac win your blind dumb or crazy..Which is utter bull****..

What I'm trying to argue is that this fight was(a)no robbery(b)people felt that Bradley won..Oh and that Bradley did win,like it or not..

i think the question now is, what was bradley doing, in those first 2 minutes and 30 seconds

even if i gave the swing rounds to Bradley, it would be a draw at best...he didn't win that fight
