I gave Pacquiao rounds 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 9.
I gave Bradley rounds 1, 5, 8, 10, 11 and 12.
114-114 Even.
How did Bradley win rounds 1, 5 and 8? Blocking punches with his face?
In order to have Bradley even or winning you're just giving him every remotely close round because Pac wins 6 or 7 rounds in that fight clear as day. Tim doesn't have a clear cut round in the fight until the Championship rounds when he had already lost so many rounds he couldn't come back with anything short of a KO.
That's always the fight I'm looking at when I see that bout.
I see a fight which was pretty close and competitive. I would either watch the Top Rank broadcast, or with the announcers on silent, which is what I usually do.
Pacquiao, by this point of his career, was already not as lethal as he had been in the late ‘08 to mid ‘11 period when he reached his peak. In my view, he lost the third Marquez fight narrowly and the first Bradley fight was one where while Pacquiao was winning more rounds for much of the fight, he wasn’t winning by the margin that he once may have. He was too frequently stuck on his spot and was having much more trouble than he once was. Bradley stole the last three rounds to level the fight on my card.
Fight is fixed that simple
Pac beat the breaks off him in rd 7 - even you saw that- and all judges gave it to Bradley

He was talking about the other Davey Moore it turns out. The one Bob Dylan wrote a song about.

Moore and Barkley weren't better than Bradley
That's not the Davey Moore that I am talking about. I am talking about the first Davey Moore, the World Featherweight Champion from 1958-63. He had an impressive career.
The other Davey Moore that fought Roberto Duran didn't had as many fights or wins to qualify him as a Hall of Famer.
You once called the featherweight Davey Moore "average".
When? A guy like Davey Moore, the former World Featherweight Champion from 1958 to '63 was a world class boxer. He had an impressive career.

Several years ago. The thread was about Sugar Ramos, who beat Moore. You were trying to say Ramos wasn't as good as someone else was saying he was.
