Is it a surprise that fight hype had Bradley winning the fight going into the 12th round? I haven't heard one person yet say they think they fight was close and could have gone either way.

I wasn't completely sober last night, but I felt that it could've been a draw at the closest. It was still a nail-biter, but Pacquiao pulled away in the middle rounds. Bradley didn't have an answer for the foot feints and didn't box smartly like he did earlier in the fight. -
I thought it was close enough to be in doubt when the scorecards came in. Closer than the first fight.Comment

I thought Pacquiao won by 2-3 rounds easy. I could see it being called 7-5 or 8-4 Pacquiao and me agreeing with it.Comment

Bradley clearly won 2,3, 11 maybe 1 because nothing really happened for either guy,,
But manny clearly won 5,6,7,8,9,10,12
I had it 117-111 manny,, I can see 116-112
This fight wasnt close at all after 4 rounds,, manny took control, and tim didnt get off first and started to try and pull a jmm and thats when manny just added up the points..
Tim should have stayed aggressive and get his shots off first, he had much better success when he was making manny reacting to him, as opposed to reacting to manny and looking for the big counterComment

This fight was incredibly easy to score IMO.
Through 5 it was 3-2 Bradley. You could argue rd 5 for Manny maybe.
Pac clearly won rds 6-10.
Bradley clearly won rd 11.
My stream cut off in rd 12 so IDK, but it didn't matter at that point. Pac clearly won anywhere from 7-5 to 9-3.Comment

I thought the fight was close. Many of the early rounds could have gone either way, and being that Bradley was the champ you should favor him in the close rounds. But I thought Pac took most of the later rounds pretty convincingly. I definitely did not see 118-110 the fight was much closer than that.
All in all I was disappointed with the performance of both fighters. I thought it was a sloppy fight where the only one who established the proper distance for an assault was Pac and he didn't do that until late in the fight.
Now it looks like Bob is either going to try to cash Pac out with a Mayweather fight so he can get a piece of that pie instead of letting Pac take the fight next year when he is no longer under contract, or he will attempt to make Pac vs Marquez 15.Comment

giving the close rounds to bradley, I could see it going to a draw but that's really favoring him in the close ones. I think a 7-5 or 8-4 pac win is more likely. not a cakewalk at all for pac as folks say. It was a hard fought but deserved win.
bradpey was reappy effective boxing but he went full ****** and starting going for bombs.. I love the guy for his heart but that was his undoing. he very well could have won it if he boxed like did in round 4 and 5, though manny could have something to do with his change in game plan
from the top of my head
Bradley: 1, 4, 5, 11
Pac: 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12
Less definitive rounds: 3 & 6Comment

I scored it 8-4 Pacquao. Had different rounds than Lederman though. Overall good, entertaining fight. Based on the first half of the fight, I thought Bradley was gonna win. Slowed down a lot in the second half though.
I like how he took the loss. Didn't make any excuses, and just took it like a champion. Have become a much bigger fan of his over the last year.Comment
