I don't know, man. Take it up with the boss. He voted "wide" also.

I'm sure there's some of that in there, Miles. But even beyond this forum, I think other numbers are pretty similar in nature. Check out fightscorecollector's numbers. I think they're pretty wide also. I don't know, honestly. Maybe some of it was the announcers themselves. I mean, we're all human and probably subconsciously subject to some influence from the audio portion of the telecast. But I think most of us try to really, objectively observe the fight and all its details. People here love to dump on CompuBox, but it's easy to sit back and say that something doesn't work, when you yourself (not you, Miles) don't have a suggestion on how to improve what we have. On a fast-paced fight such as this one, CompuBox is the only tool available that attempts to count # of punches thrown and landed. THAT, in conjunction with our own interpretation of what we're seeing, is the best we can do.
That being said, it IS a little odd that "Pac by narrow margin" actually had LESS votes than "Bradley by narrow margin." With the avalanche of voters for "Pac by wide margin", it's statistically a little odd that "Pac by narrow margin" didn't have more votes.
I've always perceived people as being of lesser forms. For instance, most people are less intelligent than me when put to the test. A boxing fight allows too many lesser forms to come out and so they win the poll with all their emotional pride intact.
I mean people who are fanboys, who had money vested and in the audience who could see nothing itself. Most people voting Manny won by a margin are frauds.
No, people are idiots and the Manny fan sterotype fits it big time. They are winning these polls, but they are wrong.
It was a close fight. Anyone can see that. You just have to learn to score a fight minus HBO.
I remember that you insisted that the Pacquiao-Marquez III is a robbery based on the polls and the number of people who believed that Marquez won. Now you are discrediting these polls and those very same people. What gives? And it's obvious that more people thinks that this Pacquiao-Bradley fight is a robbery.
Like what I said before. the scores of only three people matters in a fight and it was given to Bradley. Timothy Bradley, therefore, is the winner. But the perception of this significant number of people can not be ignored. Quite a number of people loss their bets in an obviously unfair decision. And boxing's image has been tarnished further.

Oh fuck off with your bizarre talk about tits and arses.
On a positive note it seems a lot of people are seeing the fight much closer after the replay. Some lower forms only need a second viewing and a couple of fingers in the ears to start seeing sense.
It was a close fight and no robbery.
How many points did you take off Manny for his views on gay marriage?
Au contraire, my extraterrestial friend. After last night's replay, a lot of those "lower life forms" apparently voted in favor of a Pac victory by over 90%, mirroring pretty much the results of this poll.... and also on par with other polls taken after the event itself last Saturday.
