It was effective in his survival, but not effective if he was also unable to land scoring punches himself. That is not controlling range. Controlling range is to keep one guy at bay while setting yourself up to land.

No, it was effective at keeping Manny from doing what he does. I don't know about "survival." He finished the stronger fighter. And what you just said is what he did--he controlled the range at a distance. He landed his fair shre of blows, please believe it. Not as hard as Manny's but they landed.

There not star struck huh?

They score weird?

Weird- Meaning they are not consistent in what they are looking for

Star Struck -Sometimes they will go against the so called Super Star house fighter.

I watched this fight 3x I scored it 115-113 pac I thought both fighters were ineffective as a lot of their shots were blocked. However, I thought pac had the clearer crisper shots but that's just my style of scoring. I thought this fight was a lot closer than hbo called.

compubox has the landed stats for rounds 1, 2 and 3 way out, too. no way did Manny land that many jabs or power punches.


manny missed so much in those rounds. he missed almost everything in round 3. all i can say to anyone who doesn't see that and is blinded by the handspeed, watch in slow motion and you'll see him miss that jab-straight combo over and over and over again.

[Ca$trO]

no...






nope

[Stigma]

I found the compubox numbers to be exaggerated so I picked a random round to analyze. I downloaded an HD 60fps version of the fight and I watched the round in extremely slow motion (please put the jokes aside). When it looked like a punch landed, I watched it frame by frame to make sure it did.

Here are the results of every punch landed with a short description of the punch. Only kept tract of the punches landed. Don't care about thrown.

In the end, Pacquiao landed 9 punches and Bradley landed 16. There were a few punches that were hard to call, but this is about right. Notice that Pacquiao only landed 1 punch in the first 2 minutes and 24 seconds of the fight. The punches landed after came from a flurry that didn't really land that cleanly. Bradley actually landed the cleaner punches in this round surprisingly. This is actually a pretty clear round that should go to Bradley after close scrutiny. Compubox somehow got 22 punches for Pac and 8 for Bradley. So yeah, lets stop paying attention to compubox numbers.

And listen to you instead? The unreliable narrator?

You list every punch, timestamped, and still have the nerve to say: "It's hard to tell, but this is ABOUT right"? If it was still difficult, and you're still not 100% sure of every punch, you still don't really have much to add, nothing that we should listen to, anyway. Just banking on the fact that no one is going to repeat your project just to argue. The only lesson here is that you're no better than Compubox since you can't accurately and confidently state you saw every punch land. Result: don't rely on compubox, or anyone else for that matter, to tell you who won a fight.

the only way you can have manny winning rounds 1 and 2, for instance, is to have him stealing them on pockets of success at the end and beginning of those rounds respectively. bradley's scoring work is distributed more evenly over those rounds and he controls the direction of the rounds and maneuvers pacquiao. also, you have to score his body-punching and the work he did inside when pac would fall in and tim would come up, tie up, hold the right arm of pac and whack from body to head on the left side of manny.


guys just aren't scoring his side of the fight. only manny's (and including missed blows, at that).

Right only in NV.

How do you really not see this as a rObbery what did Bradley do to win this fight in your mind

[Tamis!]

Manny seemed to have a problem with fighters as tall as him, he didn't have a prob with much taller guys who he tags relentlessly. And now those fighters as tall as him add movement, then Pac has more toubles chasing after them. You can sense him being frustrated ****ing his gloves at the later rounds.

Pac's never the same, a lot slower, seemed tentative.

It's hilarious that Bradley had both ankles swollen coz of these movements he had which was hardly seen in his last fights.

[SpeedKillz]

bradley lost, clear as day. you gotta take the belt from the champ. not only did bradley not do that, he didnt even look good good in the fight. pac won that fight
