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

[blegit]

When I originally watched the fight I watched as a fan and guessed it a 7-5 or 8-4 Pac. I rewatched the fight as a judge instead of a spectator. I also looked at it from a biased standpoint for both fighters. Not a ridiculous bias but just leaning/favoring one over the other. My results are when I favored Pac I could give him 7 rounds I felt good about and 3 more that made me feel uneasy. When I favored Bradley I saw 3 that I felt good about but I couldn't give him more than 5 total rounds.

[Howlin Mad Missy]

119-109 Pacquiao, gave Bradley one round somewhere between 8 and 12. Here's what happened Round 1 was a feel out round Pac flurries late and wins it, Pacquiao dominates 2-7 landing the most effective blows. 8-12 Bradley Circles Pacquiao but doesn't land effective blows, Pacquiao flurries late to win it. To have Bradley winning this fight is just criminal. All Bradley did was throw a jab into Pacquiao's gloves rush in and throw wide ineffective punches and eat hard left hands.

you should never be let near a boxing scorecard!

[GAME]

I should have kept a running scorecard but prefer to just sit back and enjoy it. I think Tim worked his way back into it in the 2nd half but not sure if that was enough. No doubt he figured out Pac by the end and was outboxing him. If his ankle injury is legit next time his movement should be even better.

[Violent Demise]

I had it a draw. But I can see it for either fighter. Seems like Bradley's body work is being ignored. Which is what I think kept him in the fight. Based on Pac little diva act about wanting to wait for the end of the NBA game I have no problem with the verdict

[Howlin Mad Missy]

I can't believe people have mentioned anything about Bradley's constant clinching.
I saw him running without doing much but spoiling the fight.
The way I saw it is Bradley stepping his foot of the gas, and Manny not being able to find any openings (Mosley, Marquez).

Whenever Bradley decided to open up Manny quickly got the upper-hand.

As soon as Bradley started feeling Manny's shot around the middle of the fight he began clinching and backpeddling, including circling around Manny.

how fucking dare he!!

clean punching, effective aggressiveness, ring generalship, and defense.

[Fenster]

11-1 for Pac.

That's one the worst decisions in history. At the most I can see Bradley winning 3 rounds.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I had 1&2 even. Then 3 to 7 for Pacquiao unfortunately I missed round 8 cause my son woke up! (i didn't think it would matter THIS much!) and quite shockingly 9 to 12 for Bradley.

It was weird how spent Bradley looked at the end of round 6, Pacquiao really should have ended it somewhere between rounds 4 and 7... Only has himself to blame.

HOWEVER , I assumed Pacquiao would still get the win assuming the judges gave him 1,2 and 8 but I guess they didn't.

[THE THIRD MAN]

Bradley 115-113 Pacquaio missed a lot and looked old. He's done, he was out boxed in this fight. He will get a rematch, but i doubt he wins it.

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.

My wife gave birth 2 days ago and is still in the ward so I decided to visit her over watching the fight live at the club. Kinda wish I chose the latter though because all I can get my hands on are shitty vids on youtube where its just too blurry to do the fight any justice From what I've seen though Bradley didn't seem as dominated as I'd read up on but alot of that seems to stem from how negatively he was fighting at times. I think the whole "bend at the waist below the belt when I see an exchange coming that I haven't initiated" needs to be phased out of the sport. Either that or you flat out rabbit punch the guy as soon he does it (but your not allowed to punch a guy in the back who is deliberately presenting it ) I don't mind if its done to set up a counter uppercut or blended into a weave to set up a left-hook but when a fighter does it to simply set up a clinch he should at least be warned. Hate to say it but I'd pay to see a boxer try that one too many times and get straight up kicked in the face. It just slows down the fight down to such a tedious pace and makes a guy nervous not to throw because he will be countered but because its just a waste of time. Anyway, back to trawling through the shit before HBO nets even that up...

Yup. Im done here Pare.

[Themantonio]

Watching it for the first time I had a draw or a close win for either guy. I thought Bradley showed grit, and tuffness but I never really thought "he beat" or took the title away from the champ hence the closeness. I also blame Pacquiao for the decision. I thought there were several opportunities Pacquiao had to take Bradley out but to Bradley's credit his upper body and head movement kept him in the fight. In this instance Pac just wasn't busy enuff and even gave away a potentially pivitol 12th round. I do think Bradley's hand speed and footwork especially is ridiculously overated.

Just watched it again on mute and this time the result was different. I had Pacquiao winning by a wide margin due to more accurate punching but also power punches. I do give credit to Bradley's body shots but they were far and in between in my opnion and I thought Manny landed his own which were harder. I don't give any credit to Bradley's jabs or combinations to the bpdy or head as I saw Pac block most of these.

I had Bradley winning round 1 (which was close). I had Pac rounds 2-9. Bradley round 10, Pac round 11, Bradley round 12. Pacquiao 9rounds-Bradley's 3. Pacquiao 117-Bradley 111

[jahmez]

^Agree with you alot of the blame can be put on Pacquiao. I don't why he didn't even try to walk Bradley to a corner when they clinched and when broken by the ref he'd just let Bradley slip out of range again
