Fantastic trolling. Every sports fixture in the world could be fixed. Think they are? Gtfoh.

You're a moron. Didn't you read what he said. Even jabs that don't land count. Bradley threw more jabs. Therefore Bradley wins.

Boxing really is such a science that you should know these facts (jabbing to the air or your opponent's gloves score more points than solid straights to the face) or just STFU.

It was.

Honestly the round was close until Bradley spent the entire last minute in survival mode, after which I don't see how anyone could consider it his.

The round was not close until Pac turned it on in the last 45 seconds and Bradley closed the round with the best punch of the round.

Yeah, if only there was some way to profit from knowing the result of a fight before hand.:eek:

You would also have to know Pac wouldn't finish Bradley, meaning Pac would have to be in on it for no risk to be involved genius. :redface:
 
If we're throwing conspiracies out there, who saw the fight as the most one sided? Lampley and Lederman.

Who do they work for?

What network does Pac fight for and make tons of money for?

OMG! A conspiracy!

I think it wouldhave been better to leave the scorecard thread up. We know the majority think Pac won the fight, a poll will prove nothing. I'm personally more interested in how many saw a close fight.

The poll could be set up such that the options are the amount of rounds scored for each fighter/ or the 6 or so most likely scores. Granted that would be 6 or 7 options, but I think that's easily enough done.

A. 117-111 Pac (or higher)
B. 116-112 Pac
C. 115-113 Pac
D. 114-114 Draw
E. 115-113 Bradley
F. 116-112 Bradley (or higher)

I wouldn't bother, it'll get merged with this thread.

Look, I troll people a lot here but I'm serious as can be in fight RBR threads. I didn't pay attention to anyones score until around the 10th round other than Ledermans scorecard which I just thought was absurd.

At the end of 12 watching the live broadcast, I had a score of 114-114. At that point I noticed that people were quoting me, saying I didn't understand boxing, Pac won every round except maybe one. Suddenly the scores are read and all 3 officials judges have it within one point of my score. Do you think I could have known the judges would score it the way they did? Also from what I understand, other ppv feeds had different commentators who saw a close fight. Posters I know from this site who know boxing pretty well saw a close fight.

I watched the fight a second time and I had it exactly the same except I gave Bradley the 4th when I had given it to Pac on my first viewing.

You can say I'm conceited or whatever you like but I'm going to go ahead and say that people truly don't understand how to score a fight anymore. Compubox has nothing to do with judging. Punching "hard" is not something judges score. There is a difference between aggression and effective aggression. For example, Harold Lederman said Pac was winning the rounds because "he does too much damage with the left hand." What was he basing this on? Bradley was never knocked down. He had no swelling, no cuts. Manny did though.

Being visibly affected by a punch (staggering backward, losing balance, or desperate hugging are indicators) matters to me. A knockdown/cut is not necessary. You said somewhere that a punch that doesn't cause a KD "is just another punch". To me that is absurd. But if that's what's written in the rulebook (which I don't know about), perhaps Bradley did win.

Its not absurd and thats just how it is.


The judging is based on "clean effective punching." Not "hard" punching.

edit- if both guys landed one punch each and one took it and the other stumbled around, sure, I'd agree with you.

But more went on in that round. There was 2 minutes that Pac did almost nothing.

Lets say it is a fix, who would you say fixed it and why?

Arum.

Pac doesnt have much time left nor does he have any opponents to fight after Bradley because we all know the Mayweather fight wont be made.

Bradley is a top rank fighter so once again a big money fight will stay in house.

99% of the time a fighter who fights the way Pacquiao did against Bradley gets a decision. When he doesnt, then its an obvious fix.

I was equally upset when JMM got robbed against Pac. And compared to this fight, that was nothing. At least Pac won his fair share of rounds against JMM.

I just know bullshit when I see it. And this had fix written all over it.
