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.
