OK... how did you score the Pac-Bradley fight?

[Tam Seddon]

I wasn't keeping a direct scorecard cos I was drinking, but I didn't really think Bradley was in it at all. Manny could have had him out of there in the 4th, why he took his foot off the pedal is beyond me? Bradley couldn't take the speed, and I thought it was going to be an early night, but he just let Bradley back into the fight. Fucking pathetic and that decision was a disgrace to the sport.

I spent £15 for that fight and watched it with all of my mates who aren't propa boxing fans and they were so
Shocked with such a bullshit decision. How anybody could have Bradley winning the fight is beyond me. The only reason you could have given Bradley rounds is because Manny was coasting and letting him
Into the fight, it was horrible to see.


It kinda makes me not support a rematch, why should I pay money to support bullshit things that occur? It's horrible, it's left a really bitter taste on my mouth this morning. If the rematch does happen and Pacquiao doesn't stop Bradley within 5 rounds, I would think there was something bad again happening.

That fight was so bad for the sport of boxing, really feel let down. Hope something happens about this cos
That wasn't right, the way they made you await so long for the fight was too painful, ricky Hatton and buncey were chatting on for so long it was
Painful at times. All around horrible not of boxing, i feel gutted. You had to feel sorry for Jorge Arce too, wtf was that about really?

Maybe drinking a little to much? Bradley won against an old Manny who has definitely lost his aura of invincibility that began with Marquez 3 and continued against Bradley. I had no problem with 115-113 Bradley.

I need to watch it again no doubt,
But how manny didn't knock him out was beyond me. Pacquiao let him into the fight it was bullshit, no doubt the fight was fixed.

By way of anecdote, last night I was at a bar watching the fight in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. The crowd of approximately 75 people was predominantly African American, which as you may imagine, supported Tim Bradley. Pacquiao was booed during his entrance walk. At the end of the twelfth round, most people, including my party, began leaving the bar (some people even left before the end of the round). We didn't see any reason to stay because it appeared that a victory by Pacquiao was a foregone conclusion and we wanted to get an early start on the drive home. I was in the process of getting into my car in front of the bar and I could make out an audible gasp of disbelief work its way like a wave from inside the bar to the outside, and spilling out with the departing fight fans. People were visibly dismayed at the result--some people complaining loudly about the ineptitude of the judges and Bob Arum's corruptness, other people predicting the death of boxing. Coming from so many Bradley fans, it was a bit shocking.

If it was fixed then Manny went along with it, he was in no way the same fighter who fought out of his skin against DLH, Hatton, Cotto and Margo! Where was the relentless Manny Pacquiao in this fight? Pacquiao spent most of the rounds banging his gloves together at odd times, then with 20-30 seconds left in the round he decides to throw some flurries? He simply fought poorly or wasn't interested in winning? This was not the same Manny Pacquiao pre Marquez 3, i reckon time has caught up with him or there really is something more sinister afoot? If he comes out in the rematch and blasts Bradley out in less than 3 rounds then i will agree with you about this fight being fixed.
