Well in my scorecard I gave all the close rounds to Pac. Clearly that has to do with my bias opinion of Bradley. My unbiased opinion though is of course it was competitive but in no way shape or form could anyone have a case for Bradley winning that fight. At most, even if you gave all the close rounds to Bradley it would be a draw and even that is stretching it. It was competitive though, no doubt about it.
That's where your wrong, I like how many are changing their stance. First it was "I only gave Tim 3 rounds, and I was being generous" then it was "At max Bradley won 4 rounds, no more than that". Fact of the matter is this fight could have gone either way and Pacquiao didn't get the decision, all there is to it. I had Bradley winning 5 decisive rounds 1,2,10,11,12, when you consider how close rounds 7,8 and 9 were...one could conceivably give the fight to Tim. The whole robbery thing was way overblown, comical to say the least.

I agree..I thought the fight in a whole was close,hell damn near every rd..Damn shame that people let the decision because they did not agree with it(or it was not what they wanted)effect the fact that this was a really good fight...
Same shit, different day. Wahhh wahhhh, why are they nuthugging Pac so much?!?!?!?!
Ever listen to the commentary during a Floyd fight? They do the exact same thing with Floyd (except for Merchant, of course).
I've not seen Floyd in a close fight since Hoya..Hatton came to fight but that fight was not close at all..So when have they done this same thing for Floyd??What fight??
That round seven commentary and accompanying CompuBox numbers are disgraceful. With seconds left to go in the round, Lampley says, "Bradley has landed more punches this round." Then seconds later (after seeing the CompuBox #'s), says "Bradley has not landed more punches this round." Unbelievable.

They'll continue to point out popular opinion, while I'll instead continue to re-analyze the evidence. I expect this one to boil over sooner than I expected.

I'm not writing about the fight being close. I'm writing about the nuthugging. HBO does it with both Manny and Floyd. They do it with Donaire to a lesser extent. Surprisingly, Martinez's fights are commentated objectively most of the time. BTW, Floyd's fight with Oscar wasn't close at all. Floyd gave Oscar a boxing masterclass.
