Just watched the fight thought it was pretty close, dont know if bradley won though.

I just watched it, really close fight. Bradley won the last 3 to take it from PAC. Floyd beats either of these guys easily. I doubt he drops a round.

Really close? Pacquiao dominated it wasn't close at all.

x2

I didn't get to see this live but have seen the fight since, and have agree it wasn't even close. Sometimes boxing really is wrong, still what can you do? Stop following?

I had Bradley 116-112 with the fight on mute and watched it live. In saying that there where 2 or 3 very hard rounds to score it was close. If PAC got the nod I wouldn't argue. I don't think it was the robbery some people are claiming.

114-114 - I gave TB rds 1,2,9,10,11,12

Can't argue with that.

Which 8 rounds did you score for Bradley?

I thought Bradley hit gloves a hell of a lot and Pacman landed the cleaner better shots. Would have been pretty tough to score but i thought Pacman did enough to get there.

THIS.
as well as air. he came in a lot, was much busier, however the fight i saw tim bradley was made to miss A LOT, and most of the highlights were of his head getting snapped back after air swings.
maybe its a bit like someone mentioned in the CS, arum bringing in a new guy cos he knows his main cash cow aint gonna be around much longer.
either way the decision stinks, and im not sure what they are trying for. does it now mean floyd is more or less likely to take on pac?
cos i honestly think he wipes the floor with bradley, so why would he risk taking on pac now that he can get an easy win over the guy that beat pac?
and in that case why would bradley take a rematch with pac when he can cash in with floyd?

I just can't say Bradley won, i watched live, and rewatched again, he was almost knocked out in 4 or 5 consecutive rounds, Pac outlanded him on Compubox, and he really should never take the last few rounds off, Oscar payed for this as well.

Bradley not in the same class, but a really good fighter....rematch please.

Well enjoyed another arvo at The Marion hotel. Loved the Bailey result(though the fight up till the KD/KO was dull and one way) but so happy for the guy. GEEZ he has power. Clearly he was genuinely overwhelmed at the end. Do think Jones has been exposed- Bradley didnt hit him much for the whole fight but the one time he threw a jab then a right Jones went down. Then the jab/UPPERCUT from hell. OUCH!!!!Why on earth Jones didnt listen to the corner and jab much more- as the fight went on he was landing it(singles,doubles even a triple) at will.

As for the topic well i would make these points.
1)Pac was the champ and therefore the challenger needs to take the title off him. Dont think Bradley did that. After he was hurt Manny dominated (aside from the last rounds where not much happened coz Bradley was running alot). I actually wonder whether Manny got frustrated that Bradley engaged so little at times.
2) Dont think any round was a 10-8. Bradley was clearly hurt though and showed good whiskers and heart to just stay in the fight. He was cagey at times after being hit with alot of odd angled movement(which i must admit thought would see him come unstuck via a big KO but Manny just missed a couple of times).
3) think some on CS need to learn that pitty patter punches or not the object is to land and if you land then you score. Manny was clearly never hurt.
4) Manny really is an offensive nightmare. Fast hard hands from many angles.Frightening stuff. But he didnt seem able to FINISH him.
5) At the time of the fight I had it 115-113 Manny though i think i was being very generous to Bradley( coz was a bit pissed off by the delay thing). Would love to rewatch it and rescore it. Reckon result be the same, the margin would be wider. I dont think wide enough to justify 119-109/118-110 though. In some rounds Manny did very little, though according to some the round by round punch stats showed Bradley only outlanded in 2 rounds!!!!
6) some exciting exchanges but as a rule Manny won nearly all of them. And won big.
7) a bit stinky. The thing that intrigued me was from quite early in th fight the commentators where already crapping on about a Bradley points win???

1,2,5,7,9,10,11,12 for Bradley
Round 7 and 9 could of went either way

most people think manny was well and truly the winner, and that bradley was getting a beating, but u think he won as few as 4 rounds?

hmm.

What most say isn't important what you see with your own 2 eyes is.

Arum won. Rematch will line his pockets

so u think their eyes don't work properly huh?

considering these people watched the same fight, i think it is pretty overwhelming tbh, but so be it.

Cant see how you had him winning by such a margin. Pacquiao completely outlanded him in most rounds. I had Bradley winning 3 and sharing 1.

Bob Arum by unanimous decision.... ha ha ..we are all suckers!

The fight was close, Most people that have it one sided watched the US feed that were severly biased. The fight was competitive.

You do realise how biased the feed was in the US. I watched it online and couldnt belive the crap they were spewing. Complete and utter favoritism.

doesn't mean squat what the commentators were saying, people can see for themselves u know, lol.

viewers weren't hynotised, pmsl.

7 rounds to 5 for Bradley. Pacquiao tried to win the fight by coming on strong at the end of several rounds after getting outboxed for a good 2 minutes in most.
Great win, and thoroughly deserved.
