It serves Pacquiao right, for having made the judges wait while he finished watching the NBA Conference Finals. That'll teach him......
Yeah man, boxing is my favorite sport but the elite boxing scene is embarrassing with all this fixed bs. For that I'll watch wwf. I guess the rematch was already planned since Bradley already had the date and everything.
Im happy For Randall Bailey though. One punch power at its best.
Like i said in my own thread, compubox was out to lunch. Watch the fight again Bradley made Pacquiao miss a lot, there is a reason Manny barely threw punches late in the fight, and for sure lost the last four rounds IMO, tell me there isn't one other round Bradley could have won especially in the first two. I didn't see him winning, but it was damn close.
So MANY rounds Bradley would be winning then Manny would land a few clean hard punches late and the whole rest of hte round would be forgetten like round 1. People don't need to remember just that there are 12 rounds to look at, but also there are 3 minutes of work in each round. Manny worked hard ususally in the last minute, but many times Bradley would win the first two, and I think because of his lack of power people felt PAcquiao was winning exchanges when in terms of punches landed he really wasn't.
"When I came into the ring [after the fight], I said to Tim, 'You did very well,' and he said 'I tried hard and I couldn't beat the guy. You talk about killing boxing. Even [Bradley's] manager [Cameron Dunkin] had it 8-4 for Pacquiao.
that is from Bullshit Bob Arum. I don't believe almost anything out of his mouth. But Bradley will be asked about it and we will find out if it is true.
There were shit ton of close rounds and the second part of the fight Pac was only fighting for 30 secs. I think you guys should rewatch it with out the commentary then come back with a score.
I watched the fight again and here's the best thing I can come up with. The judges do not have our view. if a fighter's back is facing them and another fighter is throwing a flurry, it makes it difficult to see if they landed or not.
The best thing I can do is to figure out at which of the three corners were the judges sitting at, go round by round and see the geography of the fight, i.e, see which judge had a better view of the action. Going by that for 12 rounds if I see a judge who by all accounts should favour one fighter but favours another. then and only then will I cry ROBBERY.
what happend to Marco Huck was a robbery, what happend to Abril was a robbery, Campillo Robbery,..god i know im missing at least 2 more here but this one...this one I need to review to confirm it.
P.S I am biased even though I like Tim I have stated many times on different threads that I believed manny won 8-4/7-5
After Pacs fight with Marquez I have one word to some up this fight for Pac man.
KARMA
This is one of the worst robbery I've seen.
how could people argue it was even close ? stay in boxing and never come to UFC.
Because, on my personal point of view, I'm done. I've been watching boxing for 30 years now. I'm done. I go in the UFC stuff...
Don't even call that I wasn't a boxing lover, I still train in boxing, I love the sport, but they have just killed it tonight. How many people accross the world have a bad image on boxing now ? how many think boxing is corrupted ?
do you think this is enterntainment ? I was disgusted after the fight.
I'm done. I will only read the result on fightnews and save my money for UFC
Yeh well after you stopped watching Manny continued to domin8 up until round 9 maybe 10... For what u saw I'd imagine u saw Bradley go into headbutt, clinch and run/survival mode everytime Manny touched him up.
Well during rounds 10 (maybe), 11, and 12 Bradley continued in survive mode but did get a second wind and boxed beautifully while Manny took the foot off the pedal while half heartedly chasing Bradley down as he was more interested in engaging which required Bradley to open up-which he didn't.
Anyway after that maybe Bradley took Rounds 11 and 12, but still nowhere near enough to take the win?!
LOL Pacquiao was tired, when have we ever seen him unable to turn it on in a round and even it out? Pacquiao is way to competitive to just give away the last 4 rounds. Bradley was definitely surviving before then. He was trying to box moving away from Pacquiao which is really stupid, people need to realize the reason Marquez is so successful against Manny is that he comes in a lot. He certainly moves away as well, but always away from the left hand, then he comes in and commits fully to offense. Pacquiao isn't as dangerous moving back, and when Bradley had him in close Pacquiao didn't fight effectively, he just waits for the guy to back off or the ref to break them up.
