OK... how did you score the Pac-Bradley fight?

[TitoFan]

Ok, let's get this down in black and white. I'm seeing widely different opinions from people who watched the fight. So let's poll it. Who did you see winning the fight, and by what margin? Feel free to vote and to explain.

Thanks.

[TitoFan]

I voted Pac by wide margin. I thought Pac connected much more and more accurately to Bradley's head, even though Bradley was moving his head a lot. I also thought Bradley connected few effective punches, and rushing in throwing punches without landing should not win you a fight. Pac could've been busier toward the end of the fight, but I still think he won comfortably.

I scored it 9-3 for Pacquiao, didn't really think it was close. On the other hand I had Pacquiao losing a close decision to JMM twice, just in case some asshole here thinks I'm a biased fan.

[Truth]

119-109 Pacquiao, gave Bradley one round somewhere between 8 and 12. Here's what happened Round 1 was a feel out round Pac flurries late and wins it, Pacquiao dominates 2-7 landing the most effective blows. 8-12 Bradley Circles Pacquiao but doesn't land effective blows, Pacquiao flurries late to win it. To have Bradley winning this fight is just criminal. All Bradley did was throw a jab into Pacquiao's gloves rush in and throw wide ineffective punches and eat hard left hands.

Don't forget to also vote on the poll.

As For Pac Marquez since everyone asks
1 - Draw
2 - Pacquiao by a point
3 - Marquez by 2 points

Pacquiao by a wide decision.
From one of the last person you'd expect.

I'm not blind like most of Pacquiao's fan.
I can give credit where it's due.
I wish Pacquaio and his fan's could be honest about his fights.

I mean Bradley literally did nothing effective offensively in this fight.

[ruthless rocco]

9-3 pac. no question.

Bradley 7-5. A fight of two halves.

Manny has only himself to blame. In a majority of the rounds he wouldn't do any work for more than 2 minutes of the round and seemed to be taking far too many rounds off.

I don't get excited by audiences gasping at missed blows, I don't get a buzz off of commentators with a hard on for a fighter. I watch the fight and go through it round by round. I don't care about compubox, I don't care who gets hurt the most.

After 12 rounds I ask who won the most rounds and I had it as Bradley. He was down but eked out the win by digging his way back out of a hole.

It is beyond me how anybody can fail to see a close fight. Far too many HBO blinkers IMO.

How can you not care about who gets hurt in a fight? It's the point of a professional prizefight. this isn't the amateurs where you can slap your way to victory.

[TitoFan]

By the way..... where the hell is fightscorecollector?? I'd be super-interested in the scores he gathers for this fight.

I gave Pac the rounds where he hurt Bradley and landed the more effective blows. But in scoring a fight I don't say 'Pac hurt him 4 times and Bradley didn't hurt him therefore we have a clear winner'.

It is round by round and only in a particular round does it matter who hurts who.

I'm gonna do a very detailed scoring, gonna watch the whole fight in slow-mo with 6 other people, I'll post my results by Monday.

[hardcore_crash]

I can't believe people have mentioned anything about Bradley's constant clinching.
I saw him running without doing much but spoiling the fight.
The way I saw it is Bradley stepping his foot of the gas, and Manny not being able to find any openings (Mosley, Marquez).

Whenever Bradley decided to open up Manny quickly got the upper-hand.

As soon as Bradley started feeling Manny's shot around the middle of the fight he began clinching and backpeddling, including circling around Manny.
