'Bradley gave Pacquiao a boxing lesson' - Judge defends scoring Bradley win
by Dennis "D Source" Guillermo

Las Vegas, NV - Duane Ford, one of two judges who scored the bout 115-113 for Timothy Bradley over Manny Pacquiao Saturday night, defended his scorecard in speaking with Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

"I thought Bradley gave Pacquiao a boxing lesson,” said the 74-year-old boxing judge based in Las Vegas.

“This isn’t American Idol. If I judge for the people, I shouldn’t be a judge. I went in with a clear mind and judged each round,” Ford added in dismissing the massive backlash from the general public regarding Pacquiao's surprising loss.

Compubox statistics showed that Pacquiao landed 96 more punches, despite throwing less, connecting on more power punches and jabs at a more efficient rate. Unfortunately for Pacquiao, Ford does not care for such stats, nor were they available for the senior boxing judge while scoring the fight.

“I don’t look at the punch stats but I saw Manny miss a lot of punches and Bradley hit Manny and win a lot of the exchanges,” insisted Ford.

I gave Bradley the last three but I need to watch those rounds a second time.

fair enough. He didn't win four of the first nine for the win (or three for the draw). I think I noted you said initially you thought Pac won close. That's fair. I can see someone with 7-5.

I watched it 3 times already. First time I scored it 9-3 rounds for Pac. Second time I scored it 8-4 for Pac.

Last time I watched it I told myself to give every round for Bradley and be as biased as I could be and I still scored it 8-4 at the worst for Pac.

I mean I can't see any way where Bradley won this fight or it was even close. Pac had him hurt at least 3 times, 1 time I thought Bradley was going down and just out punched him 2 to 1 almost.

It wasn't close man, this was robbery in every sense of the word.

Yeah I had Pac winning close upon watching initially but didn't really score it. At this point what I cans ay for sure is that Bradley won two of the first three rounds. I actually rewatched it thru round six but those rounds are awfully difficult to score. I need to watch again.

i could understand it if tim had ever been grievously hurt by any of these pacquiao blows, but he was always good.

the legs were always strong, except for when his ankle would twist under him (the injury).

Well good for him.

i do think Pac won, but compubox is normally way off.

do the same for the Cotto- Floyd fight and you will see.

Well said Mr.Ford

[ianhunter]

Say whatever you want, no way in the world you can make me believe Bradley actually won the 3rd round. By the way, even the judges gave the 3rd to Pacquiao.

i don't have to say anything much, the blows i mentioned are all there on tape and the 'perfectly timed' left straights you mentioned both flew over tim's head.

i think we've established that there is a lot of potential variation of mileage in these rounds, so it doesn't mean much to me that the judges had the 3rd for pac.

I would have been cool with a draw.
Compubox needs to be revamped. Pacquaio did not land a 100 more punches than Bradley. A lot of those punches were misses or landed on Bradley arms.

For someone on PACMAN's level he is starting to look more like Amir Khan, very amateurish. He was missing a lot and his punching technique was horrible other than the straight left.

Bradley was missing punches badly also.

But down stretch Bradley looked like the Professional Fighter not PACMAN.

this is the best post fight post since the fight!
