Comments Thread For: Crawford: Bradley Beat Pacquiao In First Fight, Will Win Third

It was closer than most seem to think, but hard to give that fight to Bradley.

You can't score a fight properly when you're only watching one guy.

Yes! Theyre admittedly friends. Bradley was lobbying for Crawford to get the Pac fight. So of course Crawford is gonna say that. Theyre probably wife swappers

I thought it could have been a draw. Bradley was busier and was controlling the pace of the fight in the later rounds. The second fight was a clear 116-112 for pac though.

"Close Friend" that should explain his opinion for everyone. The interesting part is so many Pacquaio detractors actually sided with the notion he was robbed which is pretty unusual for someone with so many fans and just as many haters. Heck the biggest critics of Pacquaio within the Mayweather camp at the time publicly stated he was robbed.

I think Bradley won the first fight fair and square. I know I am in the minority, but he stole the fight going away when he got on his bike and boxed.

I'm in the minority that thought it was a draw. Bradley made Manny whiff on A LOT of punches in the second half of the fight on a bum ankle no less and countered effectively, mainly to the body. I still think there's a strong contingent that scores Manny's missed punches because they anticipate they're going to land or are just excited by the speed of the flurry.

This, Bradley didn't get his nearly as much as it looked like. He was very slick.

Fair enough if you all these years later with all the opportunities to rewatch it still feel the same, Kudos to you. At least you didn't pull the "but the announcers fooled people line" which I can appreciate.

Good friend of Bradley says it all.
Bradley won the first and could also have won the second if the judges wanted to get too greedy and rob PAC again. Bradley can win again by robbery if its been done once before why not again?
But PAC shoulder might not be 100% so lots of uncertainties PAC also said Bradley did better in second fight.

i don't like this revisionist history going on.


even teddy atlas was going off on judges after pac was robbed.

fastforward to 2016 he said it was a draw.

Hey, come to think of it, I am sure I remember that.

Wasn't Teddy irate following the result in that fight ?

He said the judges are crooks and boxing is corrupt. Funny how his views have changed after bradley came to his side.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]
