re: bradley won that fight

The only close rounds were the 10th and maybe the 12th besides that Pacquiao landed the 5 most significant punches in each round and out landed him overall.

The absolute very worst I could have seen scoring this fight for Pacquiao was Bradley taking 1, 2, 10, 12; Pacquiao taking 6 rounds, with two ties. I can't remember one of the rounds I had as a possible 10-10, but the other was 11.

At the very worst:
Bradley -- 114
Pacquiao -- 116

I thought Pacquiao dominated the fight physically, but I can see how someone would've had it close on the scorecard--just with Pacquiao still winning.

And I watched the fight in a bar with no sound.

I think he means where the bets were going, not the odds. For every 150 bets to Pac, 1 went to Bradley.

I'm honestly surprised it was that close. I was in a bar with 150+ people, and I would've called anyone in there willing to lay a bet on Bradley going into the 12th round a complete idiot. I don't think there was anyone in there that would've thought that though.

Edit: K, maybe not, haha.

I tell people all the time its boxing not street fighting. They dont call it the sweet science for nothing.

---

Total punches:

Pacquiao - 253/751...34%
Bradley - 159/839...19%




and for the record, Power punches:

Pacquiao - 190/493...39%
Bradley - 108/390...28%




Tell me again about that sweet science and how it won Bradley the fight

WTF were you watching?

150-1 basically means you were betting on Pacquiao breaking his leg or a freak cut.

---

No. 150-1 is an underdog odds not a favorite odds.
I think you mean 1-150. If he really was 150-1 that means that bookie already knew he was gonna lose.

I respect your fight knowledge from prior boxing post you made on here. Watch the fight again and you'll see a different outcome. You know boxing.

I agree w/ Louisianimal about you Marciano....However i watched the fight twice, and to the casual fan i can see how they think Pacquaio got rob. But true boxing fans who understand the sport can see that this was a close fight.

If folks should be mad at anyone it should be Pacquaio. If he had fought every minute of every round with the same tenacity as he did in the last minute of every round then we would be talking of a different result. This wasnt the first fight Pac has fought like this; he dit it against Mosely and Marquez last year. This time it caught up with him.


And I agree with you about Jim Lampley, Louisianimal83. Watch rd1 again. Bradley clearly outpaced PAC and landed flush shots, none of which was mentioned by HBO annoucers. PAC a straight left in the last minute of the round and Lampley almost jumped out of his seat in excitement and then stated PAC won the round

I'm a grown man, so i'm not into the namecalling because it's easy to sit behind a computer and call a man an idiot without having to face the consequences of doing so. However I will argue my point with merit.

I had Bradley winning Rds 1,2,9,10,11,12. That's six rounds. I had Pac winning 3,4,5,6,7,8. That's six rounds which would equal my 114-114 draw. In rounds 3-8 PAC did dominate Bradley....it is also the meat of the fight with most people viewing. At the end of the eigth PAC shoulda been up 6-2. In the minds of many folks Pac should have already won the fight because he throughly won those rounds. However, if you just look at the last four rounds of the fight PAC did nothing in the first 2 minutes (except the 11th when he did nothing at all) and rallied at the end with flurries and most of the punches didnt even land.

PAC left a lot on the table. If he would have pressed the issue in the end of the fight he would have won by a wide margin. He took rounds off, and put the fight in the hands of the judges.

What's your arguement instead of claiming for a fix that you said was "clearly on" (a fix you have yet to offer proof of...or as we say on TD Link?)

PAC dominated that fight

Yeah he did if each round was only 40 seconds. But their are 3 minute rounds. And he was inactive and uneffective for 80% of it. It's not trolling if its true. Pac gave the fight away. Watch the fight again objectively and you could see that too. You cant discount Bradley's jab, counter punching and body work just because he doesnt have any power and it wasnt flashy. Points are points, it doesnt matter how soft or hard the punch comes.
