Soo...Technically Bradley is P4P number 1 or 2 right?
He did Beat Pacman..and just like Roach said....Judges are barely wrong when the Marquez scandal was going on.

I felt he won the first round also.
That's 4 rounds right there.
I thought Bradley decisively won rounds 8-9.
It's Pac's fault. He clearly had the fight won going into round 8.
Once Bradley adjusted and got Pac's timing down, that allowed Tim to counter Pac's first jab which normally set up Pac's straight left.
Fact of the matter is, once Bradley found out how to take away Pac's straight left (the only punch that hurt Tim), it was all downhill from there.
Pac couldn't even get off from rounds 8-12 because as soon as Pac would go to throw the double jab straight left combination, Bradley was throwing combo's after Pac's first jab.
Go back and watch the fight without the HBO commentary and listen to the crowd.
That was a pro Pac crowd last night. Why were they so quiet from rounds 7-12??? Bradley was obviously doing something right that's why.
It was a draw, I don't think Bradley won, but it was a draw.
What's bothering me the most is that the Pro-Bradley cards gave him round 5, which I felt was a decisive Pac round where he had Bradley stunned.

no. even if I was to give him somewhat credit for this win, he isnt jumping Ward, Klitschko, Martinez, Donaire & Marquez that easily in my book.

Even though Bradley did much better then 2nd half of the fight, I had Pac winning 117-111.
Round 1 was close. Bradley controlled most of the round with his jab, boxed Manny, and had some nice combo's. Pac landed 2 left hands at the end of the round though, which made it close.
Pac won rounds 2-6 very clearly, had some big rounds where he out landed Bradley at will. After rounds 2 and 3 where Bradley tried to exchange with Manny and got tagged, I'm not sure why he still decided to keep doing that until the last 3 rounds of the fight.
Pac also won rounds 7 and 8, though they seemed more competitive, I just don't think Bradley did enough to win those rounds, and Pac out landed him pretty significantly.
Round 9 was close. This was the most effective Bradley was at trading with Manny, though Manny still had his moments too. Very close round, could have gone either way.
Round 10 went to Bradley. This seemed, to me at least, was when Bradley really started to box more in the center of the ring, seemed less willing to trade with Manny, and countered like he should have all night long. Bradley won the 10th clearly.
Round 11 was close as well, didn't feel Bradley did enough to win it though. It seemed like this round was a prime example of Manny taking off the first 1:30-2:00 of the round, but closing the roung stronger. Round 11 went to Manny, though it was competitive and sort of close.
Round 12 was a bradley round. Again, he was less willing to trade with Pac like he did in rounds 2-9, and chose to box more like he did int he first round, and the two rounds prior to this one. Thought he out boxed Manny in the 12th.
I had it 117-111 giving Bradley rounds 1, 10, and 12. The 9th was really a close round, and the 11th was competitive but a Manny round. No one should have had it wider than 118-110, as Bradley clearly won 2 rounds, but no one should really have it closer than 116-112 for Pac. We'll see a rematch anyway, and Bob Arum is going to laugh all the way to the bank.
What really disgusted me aside from Pac getting "robbed" was the bias announcing from Jim Lampley. He made it sound like it was 11-1 or 12-0, and was all over Pac's nuts. When Cotto clearly won rounds 6 and 8, with round 9 being close, and having a competitive round 5, he straight up said Floyd lost 4 rounds in a row, which wasn't the case. And he acted like the fight was up in the air at the end. It's pretty clear that Lampley is Pro-Manny to the fullest, and that's fine, but at least try to hide it when being an announcer.

bradley gave a great account of himself, and i gave him 5 rounds, but i find it impossible to score the fight in his favour. the rounds pacquiao won in the middle of the fight were decisively won, bradley has no case for them at all.

Im not saying that he won the first 3 rounds, but I can understand why someof the judges and some people watching would have given him those rounds.
I think I would say it is 2-2 after 4.
