    How come missing your punches = you lose in a fight?

    Some people thought Pac lost against Bradley and their reason Pac was missing his punches against Bradley but then Pac out landed him in punch stat department almost by half. Take note, most of those punches were meaningful shots vs Bradley at most arms grazing and hitting gloves. Watch the video below and see for yourself.



    Pac can't miss his left hand against Bradley from round 1 to 12 and was kicking his ass. Then if you look closely, clearly it was Bradley who was missing a lot of his shots.

    No one other than Bradley himself and a couple judges was or are saying he won that fight so I don't see what you are complaining about TS.

        Your thread title is misleading because it sounds like you're saying that you think a fighter deserves to win a fight by throwing a lot but missing most.

        If a fighter were to go through a fight throwing more punches then his opponent but missing most of them and getting outlanded by someone who's throwing less, then the person who threw less punches but landed more obviously would have won the fight (assuming punch power and effectivness was equal).

        But obviously that wasn't the case in the Pac vs Bradley fight because Pac not only threw more but also landed more then Bradley so Pacquiao clearly won the fight.

          Pac had great defense in that fight, but since it's Pac, it's cooler to just point out his missed shots. Bradley was hitting a ton of glove in that fight, and even Emanuel was pointing that out.

          That's how blind the haters are.

            Bradley reminds me of Alexander with them gift decisions. And somehow still considered a good fighter.

            Lost to Pacman and lost to Provodnikov but somehow still considered a P4P fighter.

            Ridiculous!

              Punches landed should count in your favor but missed punches should not count against you. The fighter that lands the most and the best punches in a particular round should win that round. It should not matter that they missed many punches. As long as a fighter land more and better punches he should win the round. At least that is how I score rounds. If a fighter scored more punches but they were not good punches the other fighter could win the round landing fewer but harder, better punches. In almost all the rounds Pacquiao landed more punches than Bradley and of course harder punches. If Pacquiao missed punches then the punches he missed do not score against Bradley but neither do they count against Pacquiao. Bradley's reward for a good defense is that none of the punches Pacquiao missed can be scored against Bradley but Bradley DOES NOT get extra points because Pacquiao missed punches.

                Wrong, the only thing looked at when judging a fight is NOT punches landed. There's more to it than that.

                    Judges primary score the fight through the punch landed clerly not when you missed and score it to the opponent. Just like when the other guy pressing the fight while the other just trying to survive. You got it twisted dude.
