Man I am the biggest Bradley fan, but I can't see how he got the decision. Here's how I saw it.....
Round 1 could have gone either way. Pac landed 2 left hands at the end but Bradley controlled much of round with his jab and had some good combo's.
Pac took rounds 2-8, yes there was some competitive exchanges, but Pac landed more often.
Round 9 could have gone either way. It was the best Bradley did at exchanging punches with Pac, both had their moments.
Bradley took round 10, and the last 3 rounds he chose to straight up counter 90% of the time, what he should have done the whole fight, and out boxed Pac.
Round 11 was fairly close, but I thought Pac edged it and landed more.
Round 12 was a Bradley round to me, as he moved well and otu boxed Manny most of the round.
120-108 and 119-109 are too wide for me, but 115-113 is too close for sure, and no way Bradley won or got a draw. 118-110 if you favored Pac a the couple close rounds, 117-111 being the most fair, and 116-112 if you favored Bradley in rounds 1 and 9, the two closest rounds.
I had it 117-111 Pacquiao. It is ironic that Marquez more or less got "robbed" or was on the wrong end of a decision against Pac last November, and than this happened.
HBO was all over Pac's nuts though, and it was getting sickening to listen to Lampley. When Cotto won rounds 6 and 8 clearly, and had some close rounds in 5 and 9, he was saying Floyd lost 4 rounds in a row and that the fight was up in the air, but was acting like this fight was a shutout or something. It's painfully obvious Lampley is Pro-Pacquiao to the fullest.
Pac won the fight, 117-111 to me. No more than 118-110 and no closer than 116-112.
There will be a rematch, yes Arum already said he'll make a crap load of money on the rematch, and Bradley will love abother 5 million dollar payday on top of PPV revenue. But in the rematch, Bradley should fight the whole fight like he fought round 1 and rounds 9-12, and he'll win rightfully so. He tried to exchange far to often early and in the middle rounds, and it cost him getting tagged. If he boxes and counters, pressures a little here and there, he beats Pac. Fight him in the rematch just how you fought him in rounds 1 and 9-12.
