Pacquiao vs Bradley the rematch [April 12th]

great fight, Bradley was taking it the Pacquaio the first half for that ko. he got winded at the end. Manny will fight Marquez again. maybe Alverado. boxing needs to force a Mayweather vs pacquiao fight imo. Arum needs to push his issues to the side and make this shit happen

So I finally got a chance to watch it. I scored it 10-2 in favorite of Pac BUT...I have asterisk by several rounds (1,5,6,11 and 12.) Below is what I typed as I watched the fight.

1. B*
2. P
3. P (Bradley looks gassed)
4. B
5. P*
6. P*
7. P (WHAT THE FUCK WAS BRADLEY DOING?)
8. P " "
9. P
10. P
11. P*
12. P*


So if all those questionable rounds were scored for Bradley I could see how someone could score it a draw.

It could be bias but then again it could be the person was looking at different things. I didn't have that many close rounds in the first fight but in this fight there were much more close ones. But if you toss out all the close rounds Pac still wins 6-1. Also, I don't think Bradley did ANYTHING to win the fight.

Because I can't give 10-10 rounds and I have to give it to someone. The rounds I had asterisks by were also rounds that the commentators had questions about as well or may have scored for Bradley. So yeah, it is a wide margin on my end but I can see how someone else would score it that way. It is not that Pac just dominated Bradley, it's that Bradley didn't do much to win. When I was on one of the forums that had it 114 I was shocked and asked if anyone here had it that way. Now maybe that played a part in how close I saw rounds, and a second viewing may help, but ultimately I have Pac winning, no draw or win for Bradley.

Ring magazine scored it a draw.

great fight that lived up to the hype, both fighters came out tryna knocc each others heads off. pac outclassed and tim gassed plain and simple. I didn't like the way pac kept charging in leaving his hands down, if Bradley had power pac would've tasted canvas at least once. I actually thought tho that both guys were gassing around rd. 3 or 4. with all that said pac may have lost a step but still likes to push the pace and overwhelm you with punches. guess hell see Alvarado/Marquez winner...

I'm alive bruh. It was a very close fight. Much respect to Manny Pacquiao for the victory.

Pacquiao showed me something I never saw with him before...patience in the eye of the storm...because somewhere around the 4th round Bradley was controlling the space and pushing Pac backward with some heavy shots...it was something to see as Manny realized that he couldn't just bowl over Bradley...Bradley hurt Manny with a couple body shots and I thought Bradley might get the stoppage after mid fight...but he gassed out do to his "PANICK DEFENSE" to much wasted motion when he dodges punches...he abandoned his jab due to exhaustion and near the end he was just looking for the fight to end...Manny on the other hand had determination on his side and eventually wore Tim done with a battle if attrition...first half Bradley...second half Manny...close fight but Manny FINISHED STRONGER. From what I saw it made me realize even further that Pacquiao, Bradley and Marquez are a class below Mayweather, Canelo and Lara. At 35 years old Manny pulled off his version of Ali's "rope a dope" that was fantastic.

I agree with Heresy.... not because of how he scored the fight but because how he could see some of the rounds being scored in Bradley's favor.

I just caught the reply and again, I scored it 7-5 in favor of Bradley.

Pacquiao had some good moments but a lot of his shots were missing, the crowd would go wild even when Bradley would slip Pac's punches and make him miss.

Bradley was still catching Pacquiao with good counter punches, in particular the lead right hand. He even caught him so good that he Pacquiao got lifted off of his feet.

WOW...
