Watching it for the first time I had a draw or a close win for either guy. I thought Bradley showed grit, and tuffness but I never really thought "he beat" or took the title away from the champ hence the closeness. I also blame Pacquiao for the decision. I thought there were several opportunities Pacquiao had to take Bradley out but to Bradley's credit his upper body and head movement kept him in the fight. In this instance Pac just wasn't busy enuff and even gave away a potentially pivitol 12th round. I do think Bradley's hand speed and footwork especially is ridiculously overated.
Just watched it again on mute and this time the result was different. I had Pacquiao winning by a wide margin due to more accurate punching but also power punches. I do give credit to Bradley's body shots but they were far and in between in my opnion and I thought Manny landed his own which were harder. I don't give any credit to Bradley's jabs or combinations to the bpdy or head as I saw Pac block most of these.
I had Bradley winning round 1 (which was close). I had Pac rounds 2-9. Bradley round 10, Pac round 11, Bradley round 12. Pacquiao 9rounds-Bradley's 3. Pacquiao 117-Bradley 111
