after re-watching the fight, muted, feed not from hbo
it's actually a lot closer than what 99% of people are thinking
HBO's compubox plus HBO's bias commentary (Lampley mainly) toward pacman didnt help either
If you watch each round closely, Bradley was more active throwing more punches in the ring than pacquiao which is a rare sight. Bradley's jab was active all night long and that turned the judges favour to bradley.
Did pacquiao hit the harder more effective punches? yes clearly, and pacquiao did not get hurt in this fight but Bradley throwing more overall punches (839 to 751) than pacman sort of deceived the judges
Yes, Bradley connected on 19% of his punches via compubox but maybe the judges felt he landed more
