    Who Won: Juan Manuel Marquez OR Timothy Bradley?

    I had Marquez winning by one round (I scored round 4 a draw.) Bradley was more active in terms of output but Marquez definitely landed the better shots in more rounds than Bradley did. Pretty good fight, a close one, but in my eyes another gift win for Bradley and another close robbery for Marquez.

      OK i wasn't scoring it, but it appeared to me that Bradley deserved a wide decision, although i admit i wasn't watching it with an analytical eye, just as entertainment, and sometimes I'm surpised when I look back. But it seemed quite obvious to me, I will be shocked if I go back and change my mind.

      Yes Marquez tagged him quite good on here and there, but it just appeared to me that Bradley won about nine rounds - but I can't say with total conviction until I rewatch closer.

      I thought Pac was robbed blind vs Bradley, when I rewatched I saw what the other side was saying - meaning they thought Bradley won, I saw their arguments, but for the most part I still felt the same way.

      But this didn't feel like a robbery in the least, actually if they gave it to Marquez it would have felt like a robbery because it did not appear to be a close fight to me.

        I scored it 115-113 for Marquez on initial viewing with the biased HBO panel slobbering all over Bradley.

        Going to watch it again on mute later. I could see it going either way TBH, even a draw.

          I had Bradley up... 7-5 or 8-4, something like that.

          marquez just couldn't zero in on the guy. He caught him here and there but it wasn't enough to offput the activity, jab, and times Bradley caught him. I would also say Bradley took Marquez's shots better than Marquez took Bradley's....

                despite the bias and ******ed sky sports commentary

                I had bradley winning 115-113, thats with giving marquez a soft round or two which frankly could have been scored a draw or even in bradleys favour

                the fight was lost because marquez was afraid to take risks, simple as that, a bit more activity and he would have gotten the decision imo

                for me he lost the fight, I really only see a draw being the best result for marquez, he did not deserve to win this fight at all

                marquez should fight alvarez at 140 after he loses for his 140 title

                bradley vs pac 2, all though bradley should duck the fight at all costs as he will not get another gift

                I can barely remember the scoring since it was 5am here but I think

                1-Marquez (SOFt round, could have gone either way imo)
                2-Bradley (clear)
                3 and 4, one was clear for bradley, I forgot which and the other I gave to marquez but it could have been a draw round easy imo

                now I am trying to remember the rest...I think

                round 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 I gave to Bradley clearly while the 10, 11 and 12 (the round 12 could have been to bradley due to the ending imo) I gave to marquez

                that makes it for 7 clear rounds to bradley with 5 going to marquez and they could be disputed, bradley won a clean fight imo

                marquez did a lot better than I thought, I seriously thought it was going to be one sided but it was a 60-40 or 55-45 fight on the night to bradley

                  Bradley 7-5. I really wanted Marquez to win, and it was really annoying how HBO was all over Bradley's cock, but Marquez just couldn't get it done.

                    Bradley took this fairly comfortably in my book. I had it 8-4 Bradley, but could even argue another round for him. I don't like anything about his style, but I respect the man and he won this fight.

                    Marquez had a tough time figuring him out and Bradley's speed and strength was too much this time around.
