Go into the rounds, what rounds did you score and why?

And in that video you saw Manny's head rocked back a few times, so it had an effect. (you didnt watch the video)

[Kosher Ham]

I thought Pacquiao was landing the cleaner, harder shots all night and was backing Bradley was being back up constantly. When Bradley hit Pacquiao, his punches seemed tohave very little effect as opposed to Pacquiao who had Bradley hurt at least two times. And body language tells the story too.Starting in the middle rounds, Bradley just looked like a defeated fighter.

I am not taking credit away from Bradley at all. I just don't think it was a dominant performance from Pac that some seem to think.
Yet Bradley easily won 2 of the last 3 and perhaps all 3 of the late rounds.

Watch the video. He wasn't landing all the time. Bradley evaded many of Manny's punches.

Without the hype, it is a close fight. As both of us are saying we thought Pac won too. But it was not so outrageous that Bradley won.

[WALEOVECHKIN]

The thing that gets me is the picture of Bradley's face after absorbing 250 punches compared to Margarito, Cotto and Mosley all who either had around the same or less. Still have Pacquaio winning, still don't think it was a blow out or "the worst decision in the history of boxing"

5 Judge Panel WBO Comittee Says Pacquiao Won. Were They Too Influenced By The HBO Crew?

The decision stands just a waste of time, almost everybody says they think Pacquiao won but it was a closer fight than whats made out too be thats all. Stop trying too say we think Pac lost when we all said he won.

Let it go, the decision's not getting reversed.

Manny wants the rematch, Uncle Bob is trying to talk him into taking a 4th JMM fight. It will be telling to see who gets their way.

Don't put words in my mouth. I never said anyone thought Pacquiao lost. This WBO panel just happens to be a big deal, although that can't reverse the decision, they can request a rematch. I'd rather see a rematch than a 4th JMM fight.

And if you average in the 5 scorecards, I believe they had it 8-4. Hardly a close fight.

You all said you thought Pac won, but you also said you believed the fight was a lot closer and the main reason people thought it was lopsided was because of the "so-called" bias of the HBO crew. Am I wrong? Even though Kellerman predicted Bradley to win and Stewart seemed to be leaning toward Bradley.

[NoCalMike]

Even the guy who made the HBO Nuthuggery video said he thinks Pac won a close fight. He says it right there in the video description/explanation.
His point of the video was how biased commentating that is geared toward featuring one fighter over the other can really skew people's opinions on fights,

I still remember Pac/JMM 3 fight in which I swear the HBO telecast and the British Telecast must have been watching different fights. When Pac was announced the winner the Brits were besides themselves.

DM watch that video HBO commentary is a disgrace, i am all for Manny winning a close fight but this fight could have went either way. Millions of people believe what HBO served them when all reality this was a defensive genius type of fight Brady faught. I will give credit too Manny the man is lighting fast that can really be hard too see when he lands when he jumps in on you.

Bradley is not getting enough credit for the way he preformed, he countered, his defense was great and he shows courage all the signs minus power that wins you a championship fight.

Antonio Tarver escaped with a draw on June 2 in Carson, Calif., against Lateef Kayode, and now, he's got far bigger problems. The 43-year-old Tarver has tested positive for a banned substance in his post-fight drug tests administered by the California State Athletic Commission.

he was flabby and sick in that bout too.

[NoCalMike]

Of course Jim Lampley followed this all up with a rant/whine session after the Caesar Chavez Jr. fight.

Acting as if this is the first ever controversial decision ever happening or as if it sets some type of new precedence in boxing. It was ridiculous, and shameless.

Just let it go Lampley. The rematch is there for Pac if he wants it, where he will likely clobber Bradley and if he has him in trouble he will push on the gas pedal unlike the first fight.

[StillUnknown]

Tarver only got fined $2500, he made $1mil for that fight. That really shows him.

Worst of all, he's not being allowed to commentate tonight's fight between Victor Ortiz & Josesito Lopez. Never was a fan of Tarver the boxer, but he's the best color commentator in the business right now.
