Rounds 5 and 7

[captainanddew]

How did anyone score rounds 5 and 7? I re-watched the fight and I am baffled at how the judges scored those rounds.

If anyone can just tell me how they scored those rounds I would appreciate it.

I scored both for Pacquiao. I don't remember the specifics of each round though.

I did as well. I rewatched the fight this morning and made a list of all rounds that someone could argue that Bradley won.

Neither round 5 or 7 were on my list.

looked online- 2 judges gave bradley round 5. all 3 judges gave bradley round 7.

I'm absolutely confused with that. I would love for someone to explain it to me.

Similar to one of the judges giving DLH one of the last rounds in the Trinidad fight where no one thought hen deserved it. Also, giving Trinidad some of the early rounds he got outclassed in.

Don King got the upper hand on Bob that time.
He probably also learned a thing or two from him lol.

5 for Pac, 7 for Brad.

FROM MEMORY...

in round 5 I thought Bradley probably landed more but he looked tired and they werent powerful. Pac came on late and looked like he hurt Brad a bit, so he gets the round.

Round 7 was just a very close round, could go either way.

Im gona rewatch the whole fight tonight though and go through it all cos is only the second time EVER I thought a fight was close that everyone was crying robbery over (the other being Holyfield/Valuev)

i reviewed these rounds on another thread. i've copied them here.
Round 5:
the 2 judges that scored the fight for bradley each scored the 5th round in his favour...how is that possible? bradley landed 4 light (malignaggi-like) jabs, a body shot and one power connect to the head. everything else was on pac's gloves. while pac had him reeling for 20 seconds and made 15 solid head shots.you can't possibly score that for bradley!!!
Round 7:
all three judges scored the seventh round for bradley. it was a close round but pac connected with harder cleaner punches, while bradley jabbed pac's arms for 2 minutes then arm punched a few "power" punches.
pac was more effective and hit harder. can't give bradley the round even tho it was closer than the others.

the scoring of these two rounds is very problematic for me.

I scored the first two for Bradley, then 3 or 4 in a row for Pac.

[Pugilistic]

I scored rounds 5 and 7 for Pacquiao.

I remember Bradley keeping the 5th close and could of won it.

Don't remember the 7th well enough.
