I'm changing my stance on Bradley v Pac 1

[Boxing Goat]

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.

Oh, there it is, more of that common boxing knowledge shining through in this thread.

I see a pattern forming.

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

It looked like both guys were unimpressed by their performances, IMO.

How did he clearly win Round 1 and 2?

Those aren't clear rounds.

I thought rds 1 and 2 were really clear..Pac landed 3 to 4 punches in both rds..While Bradley controlled the pace and landed a lot of clean shots to the head and body..No matter how many times I watch this fight..I never give the first 2 rds to Manny..Not active enough,and his punches were not effective at all..

... This is a pointless and an endless discussion...
... A vast majority said that Manny won that fight but the judges' verdict was otherwise. To repeat, over and over again, that Manny won that fight doesn't produce any effects over Reality...

... Fortunately they've got the rematch to settle things for good, or (at least) for now.

I agree. An 11-12 are clear Bradley rounds. That's already 4.

Score some of the rounds from 3-10 either way and you can see Bradley winning 7-5. Some might say you could see it the other way around.

I think Manny gets a draw if he wins round 12.

Bradley wasn't landing clean shots either in those rounds.

Just not clear rounds, at all.

If anyone goes into your post history and briefly looks at the threads you bounce around in and commenting on can clearly see the negative Pacquiao pattern. What's up with it? There's no real way you think Bradley won legitimately so what gives?

I take it you're a big fan of Ping Ping.

I watched it again and HBO were scoring anything Manny did. ("And Manny just WINKED right AT ME, Jim!"... I didn't realised you scored points for winking at commentators).

If you look at it again, Ping Ping does jack **** for most of the first two minutes of each around, even taking one round off. If you're only fighting for a third of a round, you'd better make sure you win the rest big to take it.

There are times when he looks off balance and clumsy in that fight.

Everyone recalls it as a dominant win, but also not a memorable fight. How can a fight from an offense-first fighter be dominant AND dull? (Unless it involves Clottey?)

Watching it a second time I was surprised.

Good post......................

When you ignore the fact that the judges went back and scored the fight for Pacquiao when they were investigated.
