Pacquiao/Bradley - a counterpoint

[armyash]

Interesting article. Surely if most of the rounds were that close then there's really no problem with giving most of them to Manny letting Bradley have 1 maybe two??

I watched the fight Sunday afternoon, I didn't score it but Manny appeared to land the most effective punches. Bradley did have some success but appeared to be on the receiving end in most exchanges. Manny was the harder hitter, he landed more also.

Bradleys footwork was good but so Pacs. Neither fighter looked outstanding and it wasn't the most exciting fight. Not in a rush to sit through it again to score it but to me Pac looked to have won a pretty uneventful fight. I was surprised by the decision but for some reason I wasn't disgusted even though I thought I should be perhaps just getting used to dodgy decisions.

Nothing to discuss there. Bradley deserved the win. All that anger because Pactards going berzerk again.

A couple of the points I brought up in my last post got me thinking about the influence of social media on the public perception of this decision.

I adapted them into a new blog post, criticising in particular the HBO team and Dan Rafael, who I think have been very unyielding in their views.

Let me know what you guys think...
