Boxing 06/06 - 06/08

[THE_THONG]

there was a CORRECTION

like getting an A when you failed :facepalm:

 

[fastfrank]

DUH, rematch?

 

[Buck Swope]

Bad Left Hook (whose scores I generally like) had it 9-3 PAC

HBO had it 10-2 (I am told....was watching a different stream)

Neither Bradley nor his corner thought he won

 

[Buck Swope]

Just as a fun fact, after RD4 I checked live betting on 5dimes

Pac -5000
Bradley +2000

I would love to know what that looked like around R9

 

[The Sponge]

My initial thought was Bradley +350 had some value. But that was based on 1) Pac's last performance against Marquez, which shows a decline in his ability 2) Pac's numerous distractions outside the ring, which shows a decline in his dedication.

However, after further review, I think Pac is fully prepared for this fight. And Bradley is a completely different fighter than Marquez. Marquez is a counterpuncher with enough power to keep Pac honest. Bradley leads while coming straight at you, but doesn't have enough power to keep Pac from trading with him.

Bradley will not stop Pac, no chance, so he will have to get a decision to win the fight. Due to the powers that be and the politics involved in this fight (Pac vs May) I don't see that happening. Marquez should've got the decision against Pac, but it didn't happen, for a reason. I can't see Bradley doing that much better than Marquez, or enough to buck the odds that are against him tonight

How could u be so wrong :mj07: Seriously i hope u didn't lose anything on that wonderful decision. The last thing i would ever think is Bradley winning by decision. Those two fuks get to judge every big fight that comes down the pike and can put down any decision Vegas wants.

duane ford and jerry roth

"company men"

beenn saying for years those two pieces of shit should be hanged from the highest rafter. Sure enuf they will be marched right back out for the next big fight.

Sponge thinks everything is fixed.

In this case.......he is correct.

 

[Destructor D]

Glad to be on the right side of a clearly fixed fight! Whew! Vegas SB's probably cleaned up with the huge amount wager on Manny

 

[Habecki]

What on earth happened here? Considering who was involved this is the most shocking decision I've ever witnessed. Obviously fixed but I'm not quite sure why.

As a dejected Bradley backer turned my computer off prematurely midway through the final round (gawd knows why I watched that long) not thinking for a nano second the decision would be anything but a wide UD.

When I left Betfair the live odds were around 30-1 for Bradley and I'm guessing they got better after he failed to knock the Pac Man out in the final round.

Absolutely crazy decision.

 

[fastfrank]

Water under the bridge. Real question is who wins the rematch and what would the odds be? I say Bradley wins again but Manny will still be favored in the opening line. I think Marquez should fight Bradley and whip his butt.

???

Bradley "wins" again?
Line will be almost the same, if anything higher for Pacquaio. Bradley is a clear level below Pacquaio.

And I read Pac Man was about to leave Arum so this makes a ton of sense.

Sponge you have a way with words

Box was pretty dead on with what he said. I was being sarcastic. In the world of gambling u can handicap something perfectly and then a few guys step in and take it away from u.

 

[THE KOD]

If I was Floyd Meriweather I would run not walk to sign a fight with Pac after that performance.

oh wait


Floyd is in Jail !

Floyd is in Jail !

What are u talking about? I thought in the first half of the fight Manny looked terrific. His speed is 2nd to no one. Stop basin fights off a two cent free feed that is so chopped up u don't know who is hitting who :mj07:

 

[Zerwas]

crazy fight!!

incredible scoring!!

I knew that boxing is corrupted, but until today it was at least predictable....now one of the best most marketably fighters got robbed!!!

Nothing seems to be sure anymore!!

I have got to rewatch the fight and score it one more time without any distractions!

To me it seemed as though pacman fought a very good fight from a technical and tactiacal point of view early on.....he was hitting bradley at will, he didnt get hit as much and he seemed on his way of getting a stoppage in rounds 5 or 6 (before he slowed down biiiiiiiiig time)

But in his last two fight somethings seemed to be seriously wrong with his stamina!

Pacman used to be much more active!!

I wonder why...(maybe he stopped juicing)....

I won some money, so I'm not depressed! ;-)

But this just goes to show you that we live in a crazy world and nothing is ever sure....


BTW, I'm sure that you have heard the rumours that Arum has signed with Bradley and his contract with manny was about to expire....

 

[THE_THONG]

you have to add fluke and dubious possibilities into your fight logic

pac 16 fight curse in FULL EFFECT

 

[Zerwas]

yeah apparently you have to add chance and fluke and whatever.....

sometimes the writers come up with these kind of analogies!

the wrote something like "Rahman evokes memories of Buster Douglas" and they were right..


I scored this fight 118:112

8 rounds for pac

2 rounds for bradley

2 even

3 of the pacman rounds were somewhat competetive, so if you try eeeveryghing possible you might find 7 bradley rounds, but that would be incredibly biased.

on the other hand there was maybe one round that was clear for bradley.....

:facepalm:

 

[THE_THONG]

the fight wasnt close and i was picking bradley

it was a whitewash

im not the kind of person who will quit watching boxing, but sucks with these type of decisions trying to grow the sport and KEEP fans :facepalm:
