So what is better than Lennox Lewis, George Forman, Oscar de la Hoya, Juan Manual Marquez, and every other boxer and athlete who watched the fight. Good for you what, good for you.
WOW! Well the Compubox numbers don't see it like that. Everyone I know who watched it on TV and all the "expert" commentators and tweets coming from fans around the world all don't see it like that. Every man is entitled to his/her opinion but how anyone could think Bradley won that fight is beyond me. Also, how can you say Bradley's shot's ALWAYS had purpose while Manny just threw flurries that didn't connect? Manny rocked Bradley numerous times during the fight (and even admitted so in the after-fight interviews) while I never recall Manny being in any real trouble. Anyways, couple the Compubox numbers with my owns eyes (and the eyes of everyone) I know who won the fight - and it wasn't close.
here’s the official stats: total punches, pacman (751), bradley (839) connected punches, pacman (253), bradley (159) PCT., Pacman 34%, Bradley 19% Jabs Thrown, Pacman (258), Bradley (449) Jabs Connected Pacman (63%), Bradley (51%) Pct. Pacman 24%, Bradley 11% * Pacquiao +82 in power punches landed not one shot from bradley was clean enough to hit and hurt him. lopsided all the way and bradley lied when he said he would stand toe to toe. he went back pedaling and throwing punches at pacmans gloves.
Maybe 1 and 9 and 10. Hell, give him the 12th too of you want. No way he won that fight. That decision was embarrassing.
2nd round? you know that was the round bradley got rocked hard and was spinning around and twisted his ankle. you just lost all credibility for me.
I haven't watched it again, but I clearly remember thinking round 1 was a lopsided win for Manny. Craziness.
Lol, how did this even happen?! I stopped watching in the 9th round because I thought the fight was over. What fight were the judges watching?
They need to bring back that 15 round format in boxing... I'm not sure if there was controversial decisions when the 15 round was in boxing but it needs to come back.. They are athletes performing at the highest level possible and you mean to tell me they can't withstand 15 rounds???
See. this is the fight everybody was watching. they disregarded what bradley was doing early and focused on what pac did in 15 seconds to "steal" the round.
Round 2 was the one round that could have gone to pac. I'd have to see a replay of it, but I do remember that it was extremely close round.
