Comments Thread For: Atlas: Pacquiao-Bradley 1 Was A Draw; Backlash Baseless

[Gary Coleman]

I, too, had it a draw. 115-113 Pacquiao would also have been acceptable.

I've never understood the backlash for that decision. Pacquiao dominated rounds 5-8! So much so, I thought Manny was going to KO Bradley in a couple of those rounds.

Rounds 1-2 were Bradley rounds and 11-12 were Bradley rounds. 9 or 10, don't remember which, was close, the other was a Bradley round.

It was a close fight when you score it properly. 5-8 were so clear for Pacquiao that many have a skewed view of the other rounds.

The closest I could have that fight is 7-5 and that's giving Bradley EVERY swing round. I scored it 8-4 or 9-3 for Pac, can't remember exactly.

i had the first bradley pac fight 120 to 102 for bradley.

bradley knocked pac down at least 6 times and they were all ruled slips. plus pac kept low blowing and tested positive for peds and even gave all 3 judges blow jobs so he could win but he got screwed and gave away free head.

bradley won first and second bout by at least a 16 point margin. 14 knock downs in total.

There is no way Bradley won 6 rounds in that fight. No way at all.

Yeah I remember Atlas going off like a madman how the sport was corrupt and needed a federal commission to prevent this crap! Now he's cheerleading it was a close fight, lol. I'll be doing something else rather than watching Pac/Bradley.

It's funny how he seems to forget that. As far as watching that fight, I'm pretty sure there is a dodge ball match on ESPN Ocho that I will catch that night.

Second fight was closer then the first.... 7-5 pac in the second... First wasn't close.

Tim got hurt a lot in the second half of the fight. If he tore his calf muscle, it was because he was in a fight and was moving around, jockeying for position. It's all part of the game & shouldn't be used as an excuse.

[BlackSoul]

i had it 7-5 1st fight
7-5 POSSIBLY 8-4 both for pacquiao BUT bradley was clearly injured in BOTH and actually has the MARKS TO PROVE HE WAS INJURED unlike pacquiao in the mayweather fight

[BlackSoul]

The difference is that Teddy Atlas is at least qualified to study film.

Most of the ones claiming to "study" Mayweather vs Pacquiao don't know the first thing about boxing. They only started to watch the sport recently and only do so to watch Manny Pacquiao not other boxers.

real talk thats the way it is
