That's just it, Bradley threw more punches, landed fewer...
I mean, bradley threw a lot of "pawing" jabs, basically feeling manny out.
i know you can't just go by number of punches landed, you also have to include the power punches. the ones that can cause the most damage. which is why i included the power punches that were landed. If neither fighter gets knocked down, then all you really have are numbers. manny threw less punches, landed more punches overall and landed more power punches. So unless Bradley was able to knock pac down in a few rounds, he really shouldn't have won.
Also, the World Boxing Organisation (WBO) instigated a review.
Five international judges evaluated a video of the fight and they unanimously scored it in favour of Pacquiao.
But the original result stands as the WBO does not have the power to overturn it.
