    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.
    Staying busy isnt a scoring criteria, and I dont think his pressure was ever effective.

    I think Manny has himself to blame a little for being inactive for portions of each round, but even when he was only landing a couple of clean left hands he was still landing more clean punches than Bradley.

I do think Pacman won, but it wasn't no bonified lopsided beatdown like so many blind enthusiast like to claim.
      How did he clearly win Round 1 and 2?

      Those aren't clear rounds.

          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.

          Yeah. It's a "soft" win. It could have gone either way. And that's Pacqiuaos fault. He should have closed the show.

            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.
            Manny clearly outlanded Bradley and by even your admission, landed the harder, cleaner shots.

            That's called winning a fight if I didn't know better........

              Definitely a fringe opinion. As you can see, there was barely a close score ringside.

              Danny Garcia, Jeff May weather had it 10-2. Bradley pal Andre Ward said Tim should return the belt to its rightful owner. You don't say that if you saw a close fight

                But, Bradley did give Marquez his shot. He blew it.

                  bradley will probably lose his mind after he loses a 2nd time. it would just reinforce the fact how delusional he was. bradley believed he won 8 rds. the post fight interview showed how he doubted his performance and was just too humiliated to admit defeat. bradley would commit suicide if he gets knocked out

                      Bradley was keeping Pacquiao at bay late in the fight, Pac decided to throw rounds away. Bradley stole some rounds (although they weren't convincing)

                      I had him winning by one point. And that's because Pacqiuao did it to himself. He could've even gotten an EASY draw if he did ANYTHING in Round 12.

                      A lot of rounds could have gone either way, why is that so hard for people to understand?
