^Agree with you alot of the blame can be put on Pacquiao. I don't why he didn't even try to walk Bradley to a corner when they clinched and when broken by the ref he'd just let Bradley slip out of range again![]()

I had Pacquiao winning 9-3. Even before the decision was handed out, I knew that it's time for Manny to hang up the gloves. He isn't as dominating as he was before. A younger Manny would have gone for the kill. He doesn't have the intensity, the hunger and, it appears, also the stamina to be active every second of the fight. But still, Bradley in no way won that fight.
This statement by Pacquiao shows the kind of person he is. "I did my best. I guess my best wasn't good enough." He may have been screwed but he is magnanimous in defeat.
Yeah Both Manny and Floyd have lost their legs.
I had it 115-114 Bradley.
1st Even
2-6 Pac
7-12 Bradley
I remember 7,8,9 being pretty close rounds, so I can definitely see how people had Pac winning though. Plus with that 1st round being even im guessing a lot of people gave Pac that one too which is fine.
IMO generally people are getting bias scores due to the commentary, I hear HBO had it 11-1? Also I believe people are getting too caught up in what happens in the last portions of rounds. Pac in most rounds was doing his work late in rounds but its a 3 minute round.

Ignoring my own selfish view - it's biased anyway, right? - hardly anyone convinced me except when I read this (below), this is the strangest thang I've seen in boxing...
Regardless of all the arguments, if you really want to know the real score - and I mean if you really want to - of any boxing match, just watch the fight (any fight for that matter) in slow-mo and count the punches yourself. You can't go wrong as long as you take off your shades and know how to count...
Once in awhile, get outside in fresh air, take a deep breath & with a deep sigh, let out all the things that's bottled up inside you & be free, & you'll get a glimpse of nirvana.

Bradley never dominated any period where Pac wasn't doing much. The "close" rounds were basically tit-for-tat until Pac went through the gears and showed he's a different class.
I think the minority that scored it for Bradley (who are genuine fans not pathetic Pac haters) have done so through the sympathy vote (Pac didn't slaughter him in that round so Bradley must have won it?)
