This videographer attempts to show one.

I think he makes great points...i had it a draw but maybe some will see where they thought Pac was beating Bradley he didnt even land at all...

HBO, ESPN, Showtime, FOX, NBC Sports Network, whoever....




Pac whipped Bradley with the exception of 3-4 rounds. There were only 1 or 2 rounds that were clearly Bradley's. About 2 more were even rounds that could have went to either fighter. Pac took the other 8 with ease.

Sure did. Didn't change my opinion at all. There were a couple of rounds that were closer than I originally thought. But, overall I thought Pacquiao dominated that fight.

Jim Lampley is horrible during Pac fights. Especially when he goes full retard on his BOOMS. But He is pretty fair calling non Pac fights.

Makes me wonder what the hell is discussed during fighter meetings the week of the fight.

Fair enough we can agree to disagree. That being said I didnt domination from either fighter. Glad you are giving Bradley the benefit of the doubt that the rounds were closer the second time you watched.

Lampley and Steward are both bad. I remember all of 30 seconds into the fight he was already talking about how tough the fight was going to be based on what he was seeing.


I'm thinking....it's only been 30 fricking seconds.

I dont think they discuss that sort of thing. Jim Lampley is just bias toward Freddie Roach. Hell he was a producer of Roach's series On Freddie Roach.

Originally I had it 11-1 Pacquiao. After watching the replay, I had it 9-3.

Yeah i think Steward over analyze fights too much. I like Max for the most part. He keeps it real. They are still better than the bland Showtime crew other than Gus.

I dont think Tarver is all that bad. What i do like from Showtime is the scorecards they show from press row. Better than just having lederman...
