To those who think the decision was fair..........

(This statement gives away a little of subjectiveness on your part. If you're being swayed over the comments of others, then you've ceased to objectively judge the fight on its own merits).

To clarify, it's not what I'm hearing from other fans that is changing my opinion, it's my subsequent viewing of the fight and specific rounds within the fight that is changing my opinion.

For example, that "second-viewing" scorecard that was posted above, said that Round 5 was "a smoking gun round." I was intrigued by that statement so I went back and watched round 5 very carefully, at half-speed and at points in 1/4 speed, in HD.

If you do the same, you will see that Pacquiao does not land a punch for the first 2:24 of that round. He throws a left hand around 1:53 (not 1:47 as that site states) and Jim Lampley says "Boom, another left hand." But Bradley actually slips the punch completely.

During that first 2½ minutes, while Pacquiao is reportedly "stalking" Bradley (translation: walking around doing nothing) Bradley is repeatedly touching his jab to Pacquiao's face. Most of the time it's caught on the gloves, but it connects at least a half-dozen times, sometimes stiffly. Definitely more than the Compubox figure of 2, which is clearly wrong.

Around the :50 mark, Pacquiao jumps in, misses a bunch of wild shots, and Lampley says, "More trading" even through nothing actually lands. Bradley then purposefully re-establishes his position from where he has been peppering Pacquiao with his jab all round, and Lampley says "more retreating." His commentary is just ignorant of what's actually happening.

At :36 (not :34), Pacquiao stuns Bradley with an lefty uppercut from an awkward angle. Lampley and Steward comment on Pacquiao's "power," but clearly Bradley was caught off balance because he didn't see the punch coming. Pacquiao tried to take advantage, but Bradley recovers quickly and all of Pacquiao's follow-up punches miss or are deflected.

After that they exchange some ineffective combinations, with Pacquiao landing a couple slap-punches to the head and Bradley getting some partly-deflected body shots.

On my initial watch, I gave the round to Pacquiao, because of that left hand, which was the single most impactful punch of the round. But on re-watching, I would've scored it for Bradley, because that punch didn't actually hurt him, and Bradley did much more to score points and control the action for the other 2:59 of the round.

So instead of it being a "smoking gun" for the conspiracy theorists, I saw the round as further supporting the judge's scoring.
