Was Bradley robbed yesterday?

[who_necks]

I don't like Bradley that much but he did win and he was robbed. It stinks of Bob Arum.

You are 100% correct.

It was a close fight, not a robbery. The draw is a fair score.

Max Kellerman loves Bradley and his very biased comments were an indication of that.

no he wasn't being biased, he landed harder shots, more punches, dodged more punches, and was in control for 80% of the fight, clear bradley win and it wasn't close at all. Not everything is a damn conspiracy

Every decision the HBO crew sees differently is a "robbery."

[Divine Hammer]

It was an easy fight to score for Bradley. I had him winning 8-4 or even as high as 9-3.

It was a robbery IMO.

I don't think so. Yesterday, going straight off user's comments on here, I thought Bradley had been ****ed by Arum. After watching the fight earlier today, ****, I think Bradley could have lost fairly as well.

Some of you guys are very impressionable and are easily swayed by commentators like Kellerman. Also, Bradley indiscriminately hops around and moves his upper body from side to side and some of you guys are like “Omfg! Bradley is a master boxer.”

This fight was very even to me. ****, I already forgot which ones, but I had Bradley winning three rounds decisively, while Chaves winning two. The rest of the rounds could have gone to either of them.

Bradley wasn't robbed yesterday, it could have gone either way. I personally think the draw was reasonable.

Well, here are the stats according to CompuBox:

Bradley landed 225 punches while Chavez landed 152, and had a 146-108 advantage in power punches that landed...

I know that CompuBox numbers are sometimes questionable, but the difference is still significant...

Terrible decision but only the second worse on the card.

Compubox numbers depend a lot on WHO is counting the punches. Like judges, they don't alway get it right.

To me, it looked like Chaves landed at least as many shots as Bradley.

In all honesty I only saw the last 4 rounds because I preferred to watch Khan-Alexander. What I saw in the last 4 rounds was an unclear 4 rounds with no real winner. If that's what the rest of the 8 rounds looked like, then no that was not a robbery. I know very well that HBO announcers like to choose a fighter to push in a certain fight and favor him in commentary and unofficial scorecards, whether purposely or just being fanboys, they love doing it. So Lederman's unofficial scorecard and Kellerman, Jones, and Lampley having Bradley winning means nothing to me. Not even Jones who I respect and is my all time fave.

Yes, but who cares..

That's not what the whole fight looked like. Bradley's swollen eye got bad and he faded in those rounds. Before that he took almost every round.
