Who Won Pac-Bradley? Post fight discussion STOP MAKING NEW THREADS ABOUT THIS FIGHT.

First view was 3-4 rounds for Bradley. Didnt get a chance for a second view yet.

However for the people who decided it was closer for Bradley on the second view. Did you give Manny that benefit of the doubt during the Marquez fight?

Because i had it a clear victory for Marquez on fight night, and after reviewing 2 more times, it became a very close fight to me.

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 cant see giving bradley the first round. Nobody did anything the first 2 1/2 minutes of that round (if anything bradley won that part....but didnt do anything but stick his jab out). Pac's three hard lefts won him that round imo.

@paclan
0:50 right Jab Pacquiao
Again, didn't land. Bradley was moving back and it just missed.

0:31 Right Uppercut Pacquiao
The view was completely obscured. It's impossible to tell whether it landed or not.
0:22 Right Hook Pacquiao
I counted this.

The night of, it was an easy, coasting victory for Pacquiao. I score damage, for the most part, I guess. There were certain rounds where Bradley would land pitter-patter shots, but then get caught with something that shook him. I give rounds like that to the one who's hurting their opponent. The alternative would be to give Bradley rounds for the same kind of approach Manny seemed to take towards the ends of rounds: flurrying. They talked about Pac doing it at the end of the round, but that's ALL Tim did the entire night. The difference in the flurries is then that one clearly hurt the other. Bradley let shots go just because he was getting tagged. A lot were ineffective. He really only landed one shot the whole fight with anything on it (in the middle of being assaulted, to close out a losing round).

The second time I watched the fight, I gave Bradley four rounds, and thought for a nightmarish second that I could understand how they could score Bradley's ineffective aggression if they were sitting ringside. At times it looks as though Bradley is out working Pac, but it's just a senseless flailing. When the alternative to that is a dead-on straight left, which hit Tim every which way he ducked or dodged, you gotta go with the alternative. He lost regardless, I just didn't have it as big a blowout as the first time.

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.

I didn't really score it upon first watch but that's pretty much what I remember as well. I re-watched the first half yesterday and I can see rounds 5 or 6 going to Bradley. I think I split them between the fighters so I wouldn't feel bad

People only bring up compubox numbers when it fits their agenda. It's just another man pushing a button. Margin for error is very high.

Actually it's two men, 4 buttons, one for each fighter but yeah. COMPU is used wrong in the name, it's very human. I didn't know or cared until the Froch vs Dirrell fight. That was the first time i noticed Compubox was WAY off.

[Rolaz]

The Judges said Bradley won;

Most Boxing fans and boxing analyst sportswriters had Pacman winning;

But at the end of the fight, Bradley looks like a loser, sitting on wheelchair with foot injury...

Anyway, there is a need to upgrade Officiating/Judging Boxing Match.

[gingeralbino]

I don't understand CompuBox. There is a round (somewhere between 4-6) where Bradley lands about 10 straight body punches in a row. Literally. To go along with other good shots to the head and body throughout the round. I guess the CompuBox guys missed it.

is that the time the only comment from the HBO guys was why is the ref letting him do this? or something along those lines

Maybe compubox thought they were illegal blows. Maybe compubox is all done be Lederman and Lampley. That would answer a few wtfs

[b0ndsj0ns20]

First view thought Pac won a close fight. Second view thought Bradley won a close fight. Depends on if you believe flurrying at the end of rounds is enough to outweigh outboxing a guy for the first 2 minutes or so of every round. Not to mention people seem to have this notion that Bradley was ever really stunned or hurt, and I never saw it.

[tibbar]

I am not a big fan of the massive stadiums. Literally 30k people in those things can't actually see the live fight- they only see the large screen.

They are there yeah and part of the event, but it just seems silly to me to watch something from so far away and barely see it unless you are looking at a monitor.


Even at local events, anything in the upper decks of a big place is kind of a waste.

^^^^ this kinda killed this thread LOL!
