Ward =Bradley after first Pac fight

[Robbie Barrett]

I thought 50% had Pacquaio winning?

That's going off memory.

HBO polled a group of boxing writers and experts after the fight: 46% saw Marquez winning, 42% saw it a draw and 12% saw Pacquiao winning.

Wow!!

I did not know that.

I could have sworn it was 50-50

[LacedUp]

Would need to watch it again.

My first reaction was that kovalev won relatively comfortably. I was surprised how close the scores were and even more surprised when Ward won.

But would have to re watch.

Only person that still thinks Tim won is mathed

lol

before they called boxing as a gentlemen's sport but because of these black supremacist boxing fans it become the sport of black power.

Nah even Mathed had him losing.

It was Rome-By-Ko that had him winning.

Comparing this to Bradley-Pacquiao isn't logical. Most of the media who scored for Kov thought it was a debatable fight, you pretty much have Dougie, Larry M and Steven A (who btw had it 6-6) crying robbery.

The page you've linked lists the cards 144 unofficial scorers with the bottom noting:

Among the unofficial scorers above, 57 scored the bout for Marquez, 51 scored the bout for Pacquiao, and the remaining 36 scored the bout a draw.

Neither of those 144 unofficial scorers was associated with a Mexican or Filipino publiication

Bradley didn't get dropped and He didn't win unanimously either.

When you look at Boxrec, it says Tim won doesn't it? Isn't this the same logic you use to say Ward won against Kovalev? Whether anyone feels either Bradley or Ward "deserved" to win is a totally separate topic.

I had Bradley winning by like a round or two because PAC coasted the final 4 rounds and only fought for the last minute of each rd throughout the fight. Had Tim losing both the second and third fights by two rounds plus the kds in the third fight. Perfectly fine with the way I viewed those fights.

I thought Kovalev clearly beat Ward by at least 2 points and maybe 3 points. I though it was a fairly close fight. I though it was a bad decision but not bad enough to be labelled a robbery. Like most viewers I thought Pacquiao won at least 8 and possibly 10 rounds in the first fight with Bradley. Almost everybody called that fight a robbery because it clearly was a robbery. The Ward vs Kovalev fight was much closer than the first Pacquiao vs Bradley fight.
