Luckily for me I'm able to see things with my own eyes instead of relying on commentators for their so called expert analysis. It was a close fight, no blow out like people are saying and if anyone's scorecard should be investigated its Lederman's. Before any wise cracks I know Lederman's scorecard is unofficial and can't be investigated lol

Yeah...good video there...Bradley boxed well and deserves respect....imagine how much better he would have done/looked without the injuries, a neutral crowd, and objective commentary...
Before this fight...Pacquiao was #4 on my P4P list, and Bradley was 7th...with no one fighting near their weight in between...I thought that ranking would translate to their performances and the result...
Which meant I expected a close, competitive fight with Pacquiao winning or "getting" any Decisions....I also said that if Pacquiao slipped at all, and Bradley peaked, Bradley would beat him...
Which is basically what happened....IF you're under the assumption everything was on the up and up...
and the problem is...it wasn't...Top Rank Team Pacquiao has been shamelessly creating set ups and fixing fights dead in our face the past few years...in MY opinion, this was nothing more than a well orchestrated, but poorly executed, switcheroo...
Pacquiao, who was in on it, tried a little too hard in the middle rounds...he should have found a happy medium between that activity, and how Clottey laid down against him...
They also didn't know Bradley would get injured and discouraged in said middle rounds....yep...a little more high guard and less combinations thrown would have done the trick...
...take away the atrocious, Pro-Pacquiao commentary and Arum's glowing approval of Bradley in the ring, and there you have it...a Perfect Storm...instead of a Jackassed Backlash.

Fight wasnt even close.
Bradley did fark all in the fight.
Only reason they gave the win to Bradley cause Pacman is running out of good opponents with Chicken man getting locked up.
So rematch will sell more tickets.

Everyone knows it was no domination, unless they are blind or completely jaded. The fact that Lederman had it 119-109 is proof of that, same goes for Dan Rafael. Still thought watching live that Pac won 117-111. Could see 116-112, but watching live it did look like Manny landed some of those punhces that we see missed. I knew that 253 punches landed was way way way more than what actually landed. And really only Emmanuel Steward seemed to be able to admit that both fighters were rolling or catching a lot of the punches on their shoulders or gloves.
It's hard to take Lederman's scoring seriously. He had Floyd-Hatton close going into the 10th round, and Hatton had won one round clearly, the 5th. You could maybe give him one more round, maybe. But he had it close in rounds, which was laughable.Last edited by 4Corners; 06-19-2012, 09:29 AM.

The best for Pac now is to fight Bradley again and set aside the JMM fight. Just so that he can regain back the official loss that he had in his last fight. For the record I had it 8-4 for Pac.. While that video might look like Pac didnt land any shots (though I do think it was selectively edited), Bradley did a lot less.. But in any case, its all under the bridge.. There's already an overwhelming consensus that Pac should have won that fight.. And hardly diminished his standing in the sport... But Top Rank is making a big mistake of fighting JMM first before Bradley...

no one is that ******...well maybe some are, but we at NSB know Lampley talks a bunch of bull**** (did the same **** in the mayweather-ortiz fight but no one wants to talk about it cause there was a sucker punch at hand) and that slow motion never lies (unless your arguing for Pacquiao in the Marquez fight...then it doesn't count)...I still had pac winning but we all seen those missed shots...it was a close fight nonetheless, cause Bradley didn't do enough to Pac. He boxed well in spots, but he himself just didn't land enough shots imo. The rematch is very interesting to me, but much of the public just won't be sold on it.
