    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
    This is not directed a you, but the problem with this argument is I've seen judges give this exact same fight to the other guy for the exact reasons you mentioned. So which one is it? It can't keep being inconsistent.

    I've heard, "well ringside you can see he was landing the bigger punches and hurting his opponent more often." Mosely De la Hoya comes to mind.

    I really hope they didn't award Bradley for all those pillow punches to Manny's back when they were tied up. Watching the fight, I kept saying the judge needs to separate them earlier because you can't let guys rack up points on those insignificant patty cake punches.

    Any doubt that some Mafioso types influencing the outcomes of these fights? What were the odds before the fight?

    Yeah, money was totally right. Honda is the same as Lexus.

    that was the most awful display of officiating/judging I have ever seen.
    Didnt catch this fight but I dont understand why you guys are acting like this is the first time this has happened in boxing. These examples go back a while to when I had more interest in boxing, but off the top of my head De La Hoyas win over Pernell Whitaker was shady as . Trinidads win over De La Hoya was shady too. This is old news tbh.

    Although honestly having Pac lose makes no sense financially. Thats like the NBA fixing games in favor of some modest team playing the Heates/Lakers.
