Pacquiao vs Bradley Saturday night fight thread

[Howlin Mad Missy]

Robbery of the century! Holy shit.

Are you kidding me ? very close fight i don't know what you guys are seeing, what did Pacquiao do in the 2nd half of the fight ?

Punched Bradley in the face repeatedly while making him miss?

Bradley come forward outworked Pacquiao, then outboxed him in the championship rounds. Worst decision you've seen ? no a very close fight. Pacquiao won his rounds much clearer, but that doesn't mean jack. It's scored on a RBR basis, and considering Pacquiao has got 3 gifts vs JMM people are upset by this ? crazy.

I'm sorry but am I the only one who finds humor in the fact that they emphasized so much on Manny going Holy and walking around with a Bible yet in the first fight as Saint Manny he drops a decision? lol

I guess punch stats aint worth shit. This is like some fight night champion shit. Majority of Bradley's punches were hitting glove. But maybe I'm blind

This wasn't a near shutout fight. People should stop that. I didn't buckle down down and judge the fight from a judge's perspective but I did have Pac winning this fight but it was close. Much closer than what people are seeing or wanting to admit. I saw 7-5 Pac maybe 8-4. The HBO crew is the the crew that should be ignored. Its ridiculous how they are so bias throughout the rounds and for the rounds. Their continual bias towards certain fighters mislead people into things in a round that just aren't there or is a very one sided story. I really think people see more of what they want to see. But I can get on board with people seeing Pac winning clear enough like 8-4ish. Is ther anyone on this forum, or anyone for that matter, who thought Pac nearly shut out Bradley also thought JMM won against Pac last time out?

I had JMM wining 2 out of the 3 fights with pac, yet i scored the fight 10-2 in favour of pac.

Will say Bradley finished stronger last couple of round compared to the rest of the fight. Most i could give brad was 3 rounds.

And you know what bro I can see that. There were some close rounds that maybe swing could swing Pac for a 9-3. But a near shutout is Pac clearly winning 11 rounds or maybe Pac hands down winning 10 but giving Bradley the 2 close rounds. The HBO crew made it seem as though Pac was annihilating Bradley and that they had to find a round to give the man. But I do still think Pac got jobbed not robbed.

I saw a close fight that could of gone either way. I wouldnt of called it a robbery. And pac fans cant complain after JMM has been robbed 3 times.

Make of it what you will

"Can you believe that? Unbelievable," promoter Bob Arum said. "I went over to Bradley before the decision and he said,

"I tried hard but I couldn't beat the guy." Said bradley


"I'm going to make a lot of money on the rematch, but this was outrageous," Arum said.

House money is what I took from that. He's actually overjoyed. ESPN is running with the robbery angle which will make the rematch big and when Pacquiao wins it they can act like this loss never happened while getting the money from the fans twice and probably in a larger amount in this rematch to bring more casuals in. Arum isn't mad lol he's just a sales genius.

I am as far as a Pacquiao fan as can be.
I watched that fight in a different language.

I saw Pacquaio winning a clear decision. He won just about every round IMO and that robbery was huge.
Might be even a bigger robbery than Pacquiao's last fight.
That fight wasn't even close.
I can't believe that Pacquaio lost.
Like another poster just said it's hard to feel sorry for Pacquiao because of some of his previous fights, and of course his fans.

JMM/Mayweather/Martinez are my favorite boxers.
But I'm not blind and I can honestly say Pacquiao won just about every round quite clearly.
