Pacquiao vs Bradley Saturday night fight thread

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Also, it's worth noting that all of those judges have judged Manny's fights in the past. So I find corruption claims on this one a little inappropriate. This time.

I was watching the HBO feed and they had Pac winning all but one round I think. Out of interest what did Primtime or other broadcasts have it like?

bradley came back strong while Pacquio didn't do much late. I thought 115-113 for manny was right, though I think I might have had it 116-112. Pacquiao can only blame himself...that fight was there, and he should've finished bradley.

So now ESPN is running with this fight as showing the "corruption of boxing" and the robbery of the century.

Whitaker/Chavez Lewis/Holyfield 1 are clear robberies, this was a very close fight with Pacquiao winning the 1st half of the fight, and Bradley winning the 2nd half of the fight. I should feel sorry for Pacquiao losing a close decision ? when JMM got clearly jobbed last time ?

Not only that but they had Teddy Atlas on the show pretty much kissing up to Pacquiao and saying that Mayweather was a smart guy for never fighting him and after Pacquiao's wonderful performance against Bradley that Mayweather will also duck Pacquiao coming out of prison and look to fight Bradley instead because its obviously the easier fight.

And I'm sitting there listening to this and remembering that Teddy has always been the one on Pacquiao for ducking the drug tests and saying that he felt Mayweather would beat Pacquiao easily. But tonight he gets on ESPN after a close decision and blows smoke up Manny's rear with a 180 opinion. THAT is the corruption of boxing Teddy

I don't. They robbed Marquez last time, now they've done it again to a different fighter.

[ElTerribleMorales]

Travesty. Fucking travesty and disgrace.

Boxing is trying to kill itself and theres no doubt Arum is behind this in some way. Crooked son of a bitch.

Theres no sense even addressing or arguing with anyone who gave Bradley more than 3 rounds. They are clearly lying and would rather get attention or lie than to accept what a abomination this really is.

I gave Bradley 2 rounds 3 max, but like I said hard to feel sorry for Manny when he's already had a few fights thrown in his favor be it the scoring or catchweights, etc., always wanted everything in his favor and well it finally came back to bite him and Freddy in the ass, again I don't think Bradley won but I'm not gonna try and make Manny the victim of anything

[Spicoli]

Oh Jim Lamply just fuck right off, poor twat looked like he was goin to cry

The worst since Briggs-Foreman Rios- Abril seems like a lifetime ago eh. Fool!

[ICB]

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?

I don't remember seeing much of that.

Then you are blind.

You really think Manny won rounds in the second half of the fight? I saw Bradley moving more, using the jab, slipping punches and outworking a Manny who simply wasn't throwing for 2 minutes of every round.

Pac looked great from 2-6 when he was hurting Bradley, but he either fell asleep, got tired, or got confused.

You don't win a fight on hurting someone a few times and not winning the majority of the rounds.

Exactly its alot like ODLH/Trinidad where both ODLH/Pacquiao won there rounds alot clearer. But both Trinidad/Bradley were able to comeback and steal the rounds and make it very close i don't get where all this robbery stuff is coming from. Bradley could of won either of the 1st 2 rounds and then won a majority if not all of the last 6 rounds.

You're both insane. There is no point in debating this.

HBO are seldom less than shocking. One round?

[J_C]

115-114 Bradley for me. Anyone saying robbery needs to watch it again, it was close and a fight of 2 halves.

[generalbulldog]

Well Bradley can say he got a victory decision against Pacquiao since Morales did it. I always thought Floyd would be the one to do it.

[Deanrw]

well that was one crappy decision if i have ever seen one. I had it 10 rounds to 2

[Majesty]

And now ESPN is saying a majority of people ringside scored it 11 rounds to 1 for Pacquiao.

Damage control is happening now because they are trying to salvage a Mayweather fight.

They really REALLY want to see Pacquiao massacred so that boxing could be in the public eye again....

Pacquiao should do the smart thing and retire and say he's "sick of the corruption of the sport of boxing and that things need to change." so everyone can make him a saint again

[generalbulldog]

I dont really care for the decision anyway. Or even for the sport at this point.

I just wanted to point out that people who said Bradley won this fight clearly were also the ones that said JMM clearly got robbed in all the fights. lol
