Bradley defeats Pacquiao

[SWC75]

115-113 on all three cards but Bradley won two of them.

Lampley, Steward and Lederman couldn't believe it. (Larry Merchant was absent for some reason- someone named Max Kellerman replaced him, not very ably).

I had it 118-111 for Pacquiano, who had a 190-108 advantage in "power shots" and 253-159 overall. ESPN had it 119-109 for Pacquiao, as did Lederman.

The question is: why did this happen? Pacquiao-Mayweather is the big money fight. This at least delays it while a rematch is set of of this fight. Maybe they wer ejsut running out of oppoents and had Bradley win to make things interesting until they can get the two camps together.

Twitter is on fire right now. People haven't been this worked up about something on there since Bin Laden was killed.

Seriously so rigged

I watched and was shocked. Thought it was probably 10-2 Manny.

Read something interesting about how some thought the announcers may have influenced what we think we saw and the fight was closer then we thought. Fwiw

Pacquiao landed more punches, a higher percentage and clearly hit harder. 113-115 means Bradley won 7 rounds. It would be very hard to find those seven rounds, even in a replay with the sound off.

Stunning verdict
