Pacquiao vs Bradley Saturday night fight thread

[bestjabwins]

I tuned in from round 7 and missed the first part of the fight. Looked to me like Bradley was edging out pacquiao, and in the last 3 rounds outboxing him. Those last few rounds all pacquiao was doing was plodding forward and having trouble with a moving target.

Maybe at the last 6 rounds Tim landed some shots, but clearly not outclassed and outscored Pac. I am not a Pac fan but this is ridiculous. BTW, nice one Arum!

Yes exactly right, as for other comments in this thread. I don't hate Pacquiao at all i like him as a fighter, but i call it as i see it. I don't let favourtism cloud my judgment. Im not even a fan of Bradley, and i like Pacquiao more than Bradley.

I think the anti Pac jibes are coming my way more than anything. Actually I am surprised at the judges. I was posting round by round how I saw the fight unfolding and thus had it for Bradley. I gave Manny the rounds I thought were his and Bradley his. That's all you can do when scoring a fight. I actually think Marquez beat Manny more convincingly. Bradley eked this one out at the death. Marquez was the one who took his foot off against Manny.

Pretty much agree with your assessment of the fight.

Pacquiao and Bradley round 1 was very close, 2-6 was one sided and you'd figure it's going to go among the same way as the other Pacquiao fights. and then Bradley adapts and turns it all around. He earned this win and he's having all of it discredited by the media. Which is a great shame because he gave a gutsy performance, adjusted and beat Pacquiao he should be getting credit and the fight should be talked about for how great it was and what will can do. But nope...to save face for a Mayweather fight and make double the money in a rematch, it's being billed as a robbery which pretty much discredits any and everything Bradley did and the sad thing is it's the furthest thing from a robbery ive seen in a while.
