I'm changing my stance on Bradley v Pac 1

[MisterHardtop]

You claim Bradley did not land anything of significance till the 11th or 12th yet you give him 7 rounds............

[SeekDaGreat]

its crazy, that w mannys engine being of in the second half he still outlanded nd outhrew bradley by a huge margin
now lets think.. what if pacs engine was turned on? hmm...

Yeah, although re watching the actual fight the only thing certain is Manny landed the harder shots. COMPUBOX seemed a bit biased at points in that fight.

You have to factor into the equation Bradley has no power. Now you have to score the fight accordingly. I felt Manny was giving rounds away just off the sheer fact he wasn't punching. He threw the pivotal 12th away for no reason.

And it looked like Bradley started to time Manny late in the fight. Just enough to keep Manny from doing the same type if damage he was doing early in the fight.

Let me start out by saying Bradley landed NOThIng of significance in thy entire fight. Maybe one shot in the 10th or 11th rd.

Manny landed all the significant shots. I just rewatched the whole thing this morning.

I felt If you judge the fight off punches then there is no question Manny did the more damage.

But I'm going to give Bradley the nod, and I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt on quite a few rounds.

Manny just simply shut the engine off for the 2nd half of the fight. God knows why because he was landing at will.

I'm gonna give Bradley a 7-5 win, Manny just threw too many rounds away late in the fight where Bradley was busier (while still really landing nothing significant.)

I dont understand.

You say Bradley didnt land anything of significance till the 11th or 12th round... but that you are going to give him the 'benefit of the doubt' and give him the fight... why does he deserve the benefit of the doubt if he isnt landing anything?

I dont think its the clearest 'robbery' of all time, but i find it very hard to see 7 Bradley rounds in that fight.

Because Pacqiuao threw rounds away with inactivity.

Sometimes you win rounds by staying busy, that's how I feel Bradley won most of his rounds.

And I said "I gave him the benefit of the doubt on quite a few rounds."

A lot of round could have went either way.

You need to factor in EVERYTHING I said. Not just 1 sentence.

[Rome-By-Ko]

I'm not opening any links. Stop trolling to hate on Pacquiao. It's pointless.

Can you point out the hate??If you can't(wich you obviously won't be able to do)can you please..

Well if you paid attention to my post I said "I gave him the benefit of the doubt on quite a few rounds."

Trust me, I was where you were on m stance before this morning. You need to go rewatch the fight then come talk to me.

Particularly rounds 9-12. Manny doesn't really do anything. You could argue he have all those rounds away.

Anorak is right, HBO was hugging Mannys nuts the entire fight. Partially because Tim is pillow fisted. When he "lands" it doesn't look like much. You gotta pay close attention.

Bottom line, I believe it was a close fight.

I've watched the fight several times and cannot give Bradley more than 3 rounds if I was looking for rounds to score for him.

The media and expert scores are evident of who really won.

[SeekDaGreat]

I dont understand.

You say Bradley didnt land anything of significance till the 11th or 12th round... but that you are going to give him the 'benefit of the doubt' and give him the fight... why does he deserve the benefit of the doubt if he isnt landing anything?

I dont think its the clearest 'robbery' of all time, but i find it very hard to see 7 Bradley rounds in that fight.

Well because although he isn't landing with significance he is still landing, he is staying busy, and applying pressure.

He's not a hard puncher by nature, so that also has to be taken into consideration.

And once again, a lot of rounds could have gone either way.

[Boxing Goat]

I didn't say a thing about the decision, but I did say that I felt Pacman won. But you can clearly see that Bradley took rounds 1-2-10-11-12 like I said if you watch the damn fight. What you need not do is act like I'm saying Bradley won, or learn to comprehend. Either way Pacman did not dominate the fight.

I repeat:

There's really no need for further discussion on the matter so I will leave it at that.

[BattlingNelson]

You claim Bradley did not land anything of significance till the 11th or 12th yet you give him 7 rounds............

Yeah. And previously he scored the fight for Pac and now he sees that Pac scored all the meaningfull punches and Bradley won.

[Boxing Goat]

You claim Bradley did not land anything of significance till the 11th or 12th yet you give him 7 rounds............

And there it is.........

Some common sense on the subject at hand.

Well done.
