Pacquiao Robbed! Judges Hand Bradley Split Decision Jun 10th 2012, 04:08 There is no question in my mind that Manny Pacquiao outpointed Timothy Bradley by a wide margin. HBO's announcing team thought Pacquiao won. Harold Lederman scored the fight 119-109 for Pacquiao. ESPN.com had it 119-109 for Pacquiao. The Associated Press had Pacquiao winning 117-111. Punch stats favored Pacquiao by a wide margin (253-159 in total punches landed; 190-108 in power shots). The crowd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas thought Pacquiao. Promoter Bob Arum - who promotes both fighters - scored it 118-110 for Pacquiao. Unfortunately, only three scorecards mattered and two of the judges were watching a different fight than everyone else. Judge Jerry Roth had it too close at 115-113 but at least he scored it for Pacquiao. The other two judges - Duane Ford and C.J. Ross - scored the fight 115-113 for Bradley. There were no knockdowns in the fight so Ford and Ross somehow each found seven rounds to give to Bradley. Unbelievable. Unconscionable. How did you score the fight? Vote in our poll.
