    It's sad that many posters are fans of specific fighters or countries instead of sport as a whole. (queue in "Martin was robbed in England" chant.)

    Just because you wanted someone to win doesn't mean you should be a complete idiot and say your fighter was robbed. This was a clear win by Pac, and I don't even like the guy.

      It was close, i felt Bradley won 6 or 7 rounds but the Knockdowns probably just swung it in Pac's favour by a point or so.

      Bradley was landing a lot of clean shots and HBO just stayed silent and then 2 seconds later "hard left from Pacquiao".

        Just accept your prediction was wrong. The knockdowns were legitimate which is why we didn't see Bradley complaining.

        I scored the fight 114-112, but 116-110 are perfectly acceptable scorecards. Bradley didn't do much to win the rounds that could be scored in his favour.

          He lost man, at the end of several rounds he knew as he ****** his gloves and shook his head knowing he let the round slip away. He let rounds go. He said what he needed to do and didn't do it. He knew how to beat Pac but he couldn't pull through. He said he has to fight for 36 minutes, but that's not what he did. Bradley is still a very good fighter, no one is going to call him a bum for losing to an ATG.

              It should have at least been a draw. Bradley didn't throw any meaningful shots he tried to copy Floyd by throwing air punches that don't even land to fool the judges but he is not Floyd, Roach is right Floyd sells shots even if they dont land and miss by throwing it fast and getting out so the judges see the guy missing and believe Floyd landed the punch, Bradly was just throwing pawing shots.

              His best moments were when he came at Manny, thats what I wanted him to do shock Manny.

              I have to admit both these guys looked in amazing shape and condition, I expected two washed up guys who had no stamina and were no longer sharp, they shocked me ill say that both were sharp and would probably beat any welterweight right now if they fought like they did to night very sharp and technical.

              The only legit knockdown was the last one which Bradley admit yeah that was legit, other than that the fight should have either went to Bradley by one or 2 points or a draw because of the knockdowns.
              Explain how the first one wasn't a knockdown? It was a clear KD. Without the punch Bradley would not have gone down, therefore the punch caused the KD. It was just well timed punch that caught him off balance. Didnt hurt him, but doesn't mean it wasn't the punch that put him off his feet.

                These threads are getting pathetic. Bradley did nothing special except show how much stamina he has, that's it. His punches were not calculated and was wailing them hoping they would land. The punches he did land were like slap punches. My mom used to slap me around harder then that.

                  score was wide.

                  you said should've been a draw. 6-6

                  you said 1 legit knockdown.

                  6-6, with one legit knockdown, 114-113 manny.

                  manny still wins at 6-6 and 1 legit knockdown

                    Hectari is a joke here. Even taking away that first knockdown, which was legit btw, Pacquiao still wins easily.

                      I think Brad Soloman and Ponomarev were fighting at the same level and gave a better showing.
