[DominiBox]

I had it 117-111 Bradley.

Rounds 1, 4 and 10 were very close. Pick'em rounds. Draw? GTFOH...

[WilkinsOlajuwon]

114-114.....

Add Thomas Hauser to the list of people who had JMM winning, so much for his credibility..

[Boxing Goat]

Wow, what a landslide.

[WilkinsOlajuwon]

While fossilized judges are indeed the primary reason for the scorecard issues boxing faces...a lack of understanding by many many fans also contributes. Too many people think they are experts and far too many watch a fight and then decide who wins. Too many people listen to commentary and even more look at punch stats.

Judging is very complex and intricate. Its not for everyone.

What I came away with is that JMM is faded as ****. He put all he had in that one punch and that is all he had left to give the sport. It is all handshakes and checks from here on out.

I haven't seen the fight but from all accounts on the NSB this sounds about right. Whatever gas he had left in a long and great career probably ended with that monstrous right hand that sent manny to sleepy land. He has had a great career and is almost 40 right now is a good as time as any to hang them up.

i think you could have marquez winning, or maybe a draw

people might be blowing this out of proportion due to marquez being the favourite going in and bradley's performance being kind of suprising, atleast considering to his prior two outings




edit: meant "considering" not "compared"

no one ever said he was great at scoring fights..........

being a good writer and journalist =/= being good at scoring fights

Equally good at s*cking Bob Arum's as*... That's the main point, if you score a fight like that to JMM then we know who you want to win = no credibility.

Am not surprise with the way Bradley fought none am I surprise that he won. My only surprise was that JMM took this fight from the beginning, he didn't have to because even a win doesn't really do much for him. I knew Bradley would fight the same way Barrera did against Hamed. And JMM wouldn't be able to deal with that sort of style.
