Comments Thread For: Examining The Bradley-Pacquiao 2 Scorecards

2 of the 3 judges gave Pacquiao 1 and 3? LOL

I don't see what's so LOL about the first. I would have given it to Bradley marginally, but it was really a 10-10 round (if judges actually bothered to give those). From some of the comments here you'd think it was some sort of Bradley whitewash.

All 3 judges gave Pacquaio the 11th?

That can't be right?

I gave Bradley the 11th... (I gave him 4,5,8,11...)

[MDPopescu]

I scored 115-113 for Pacquiao. I gave 1,4,5,9 & 11 for Bradley

The 1st round was pretty void... Manny landed some... clear...
(when you have to score a 10-9, you give the round to someone...)

After re-watching the fight dead sober and alone 1 and 2 were a lot closer rounds than the commentary indicated. I think 1 was marginally Bradley's and 2 was marginally Pac's. 4 was clearly Bradley 's but that huge shot at 1:45 is what woke Pacquiao up. 5 was a more marginal Bradley round, and you could give Bradley 11 in another marginal round. 2 - 3 were marginally Pac's, 6-7 were Pac rounds, 8 (or was it 7) Pac let off the gas but it was still marginally his round. 9 - 10 were Pac rounds, and 12 was a marginal Pac round. So 8ish - 4ish for Pac, but any judge having a marginal round or two go either way isn't crazy.

Now you see how difficult it is?

I thought Pacquiao won a very good competitive fight. I had it 7-5 for him. But today's boxing is different from 25 years ago. Its more of the big shots that determine the round instead of the full body of work in the 3 minutes of the round. Jabs, body attacks, and inside fighting simply doesn't get scored in most fights anymore. But hands down, Manny won.
