    Do not depend on Compubox. HBO in their non brilliance does though for some reason.

    When you watch the fight, there are many factors in scoring, not just "landed" punches. they do not tell the whole story.

    There are many factors on scoring a round, I am not going to list them because you all already know them, but in the end they mean this: The fighter who lays more hurt and controls the round.

    Now for the pro Bradley crowd, they are giving Bradley a lot of credit at the times he was on his bicycle and sometimes when he was on it was was doing OK and actually keeping Manny at bay with punches. Most of the time though he was not boxing, but retreating without throwing hardly anything at all that had intent. Pacquiao was not doing anything either, but he was the one pressing for action and was getting credit for it.

    When you box, you still have to make someone pay. Negating their offense with movement is simply not enough. You still have to show intent and you still have to dish out hurt.

      118-110 on first view, with a crappy stream and HBO commentary talking rubbish.

      116-112 on replay, HD quality and no HBO.

          That's the part I don't get. You don't earn points for ineffective aggression. And it seemed to be Bradley was in control of the pace and distance, whether backing up or coming forward.

            I've seen it a couple of times and Pacquiao got jobbed, just like Marquez did.

            What goes around, comes around.

            AND THE NEW!!!!!!!!

              I haven't rewatched yet, but initially i gave Bradley 2 of the first 3 rds and rds 10-12, giving him 5 rds total.

                1, 10, 12 and toss up for 11. 11 not much was done on either side but both have claim at it. 10-10 neither stole the round or did anything substantial.

                I think too many people are looking at Bradley's punches closer to look for reasons to give him rounds. Most shots from our view atleast show Pac blocking them. So i can't count those even if I try to be generous.

                      I've made a thread about this before, can't remember what fight it is, judges needs to be in some sort of elevated position where they will have a clearer view of the fight.
