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

[InTheNeutralCorner]

I had Pacquiao winning 9-3. Even before the decision was handed out, I knew that it's time for Manny to hang up the gloves. He isn't as dominating as he was before. A younger Manny would have gone for the kill. He doesn't have the intensity, the hunger and, it appears, also the stamina to be active every second of the fight. But still, Bradley in no way won that fight.

This statement by Pacquiao shows the kind of person he is. "I did my best. I guess my best wasn't good enough." He may have been screwed but he is magnanimous in defeat.

[Truth]

Yeah Both Manny and Floyd have lost their legs.

I had it 115-114 Bradley.

1st Even
2-6 Pac
7-12 Bradley

I remember 7,8,9 being pretty close rounds, so I can definitely see how people had Pac winning though. Plus with that 1st round being even im guessing a lot of people gave Pac that one too which is fine.

IMO generally people are getting bias scores due to the commentary, I hear HBO had it 11-1? Also I believe people are getting too caught up in what happens in the last portions of rounds. Pac in most rounds was doing his work late in rounds but its a 3 minute round.

Bradley's manager, Cameron Duncan, scored it 8-4 for Pac. When is the last time you heard of a fighter's manager admitting he had him losing a fight by 4 pts?

[Manos de Piedra]

At first I thought it was a robbery but after watching it on mute it's a lot closer than I first thought but I still had Manny winning 7-5. It was not a clear win for either one, Pac took off the first 2 minutes of too many rounds.

[Pugilistic]

Watching the fight last night i had Pacquiao winning 8-4.

I will have to give it a re watch though as i was very tired and combine that with the biased HBO commentary and the crowd cheering every time Pacquaio threw and it may of affected my scoring.

I was very disappointed with Pacquiao's effort. He went through the fight just going through the motions instead of taking the fight to Bradley. Every round he was taking the first two minutes off and then rallying the last minute. It's not an effective way of winning rounds that's for sure. He literally gave Bradley the last few rounds as well.

I'm not saying he deserved to lose because of that but he didn't put himself in the best position to dominate the fight, he settled and it ended up costing him.

Bradley never dominated any period where Pac wasn't doing much. The "close" rounds were basically tit-for-tat until Pac went through the gears and showed he's a different class.

I think the minority that scored it for Bradley (who are genuine fans not pathetic Pac haters) have done so through the sympathy vote (Pac didn't slaughter him in that round so Bradley must have won it?)

[Otley]

to be honest there were many rounds which were close...and commentary on the fight was utterly over biased for Manny....Khan whatever the true result gave it to Manny cause hes is gym boyfriend.....it was ridiculas....Manny coasted and should of kept pressing....Bradley sucked it up and made the fight tighter than what it should have been.

Ok, let's get this down in black and white. I'm seeing widely different opinions from people who watched the fight. So let's poll it. Who did you see winning the fight, and by what margin? Feel free to vote and to explain.

Thanks.

Pacquiao didn't "lose" a round until late in the fight, I had him winning at least 10 rounds and Bradley winning 2, which really weren't all that decisive.

[Tam Seddon]

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.

I need to watch it again no doubt,
But how manny didn't knock him out was beyond me. Pacquiao let him into the fight it was bullshit, no doubt the fight was fixed.

By way of anecdote, last night I was at a bar watching the fight in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. The crowd of approximately 75 people was predominantly African American, which as you may imagine, supported Tim Bradley. Pacquiao was booed during his entrance walk. At the end of the twelfth round, most people, including my party, began leaving the bar (some people even left before the end of the round). We didn't see any reason to stay because it appeared that a victory by Pacquiao was a foregone conclusion and we wanted to get an early start on the drive home. I was in the process of getting into my car in front of the bar and I could make out an audible gasp of disbelief work its way like a wave from inside the bar to the outside, and spilling out with the departing fight fans. People were visibly dismayed at the result--some people complaining loudly about the ineptitude of the judges and Bob Arum's corruptness, other people predicting the death of boxing. Coming from so many Bradley fans, it was a bit shocking.
