Although our cards are totally different. I gave Bradley 1,4, 5, 6, 8, and 11.

4 was definitely a Bradley round, but 3 was definitely a Pacquiao round. After round 5 I thought the scoring was generally tougher though.

I do feel bad that this fight will like the last one be remembered as decisive and not the give-and-take that it was. 2 of the best 5 fighters in the world put on an outstanding fight, but only one guy gets credit and gets treated as a protagonist. I still am bothered that Lampley continued to reinforce that--fans can choose sides, whatever, but commentators shouldn't, plain and simple. Yes Pacquiao was excellent, but I think Bradley was proven right to degree--he probably had to gun for the KO. The fact that he fought that way and still held his own is really impressive to me.
