Pacquiao vs Bradley Saturday night fight thread

[DavilaJones]

As I stated earlier on Saturday that I would watch the fight again on slow-motion with 5 other people to judge every round, atching it in slow motion took us four hours mind you. We watched it twice times and the closest that we ever came was 8-4 Pacquaio-Bradly.

Our Criteria for scoring rounds followed the general rules, effective aggression, ring generalship, offense/defense...Etc.

It is impossible to give Bradley the winning decision.

I also posted that we'd watch the fighters geography and their location in regards to the judges, i.e. if their backs are turned to the judges how can the judge tell if they blocked a punch or not? We noticed that one judge (the one sitting between the Blue corner to Neutral corner to its right The score sheet
) had a propensity to assume Bradley's punches landed and Manny's did not whenever the fighter's back was turned to them.

Long story short, didn't really see corruption as much as we did incompetence. However in my belief it is beyond a shadow of a doubt that Emmanuel Pacquiao was the winner of this fight.




P.S
For those who say this is karma for Marquez (I too agree Marquez won the last fight) what you must remember is that a bad decision is a bad decision. This is true regardless of whom the winner and the loser are. This is regardless of your feelings for the fighter. This is regardless of the fact that the fighter could be an unknown or a superstar. The fighter who wins the fight should always get the decision. There should never be ambiguity about it.

Kudos for the effort to really analyze the fight and reach the best conclusion possible from your perspective.

I really did it just to see if it was a robbery or not and what I got was was pure incompetence.

Bob Arum requests AG inquiry into judges' disputed Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley decision - ESPN

It seems as if Bob Arum wants to get the decision overturned. Maybe trying to make it look like he hadn't fixed the fight and screwed Pac over. Lets see what happens...

Even though I have the same result, With the WBO appointing 5 Judges to reviewing the fight, I am expecting a new decision to come from the WBO resulting in a draw and ordering a rematch. Regardless of the true results.
