This I will agree with my friend. However, it was close and its just as well it went to Ward as it ensured that we got a great trilogy to witness.Quote:

Personally I think it was because Lewis was robbed in the first fight but there's enough who had Lewis ahead & it was close.Quote:

We are in the same camp with these. I had Holy 115-113, haven't watched it for a while & cannot remember the rounds won by either fighter. Will have to view it again soon.Quote:

;D That's the beauty of this thread, going against the consensusQuote:

For sure. Also when the crowd cheers every missed Pacquiao shot like it's a home run hit, and remain silent when Bradley lands effective shots, it's easy to get carried away.
Anyone else think that Audley clearly beat David Price?
i was suprised at the amount of people who were saying it was one sidedQuote:

I remember thinking that by the mid rounds Pacman was in trouble, i was under the mis guided belief that Bradley was just being awkward and eventually Pacman would land a big shot and order would be restored, it didn't happen and was never likely to happen during that fight. Pacquaio missed and missed and missed while Bradley countered and scored IMO. It was a close fight, but Bradley did not deserve all the vitriol he received just because he won! This was no Whitaker V Chavez robbery, this was just a close call and it went Bradley's way. If Pacman has a real problem with it then do it again?Quote:

I also had Holyfield winning Lewis rematch. I didn't see the outrage in Nelson vs Fenech 1 draw. In hindsight I don't see Tiberi vs Toney as a robbery at all, maybe a 1,2 point iffy score. I had Carlos Salazar outboxing Barrera way back. Leonard over Hagler. Tarver over Jones jr 1 with room to spare. Didn't see any controversy at all in Bradley vs Campbell, and I love Campbell...but I think he wanted out!
Good topic actually, gets you thinking.
Barrera beat morales in the first but I had him losing the 3rd fight
