R1 – Good defense from both men, so little landed of note. Leaning Bradley through most of it, but Pacquiao steals it with some decent punches in final seconds. 10-9 Pac

R2 – The pace quickens here with Bradley looking to get into wild exchanges. It’s a good strategy for him, as he lands more when it’s moving at this pace. 10-9 Bradley

R3 – Close round. Pacquiao lands some good lefts, but a nice comeback from Bradley late. Not enough though. 10-9 Pacquiao

R4 – This is the one that shows the issues with scoring this fight. In the opening minutes, Bradley gets inside and gets some good body work going, winning the early stages. Then Pacquiao launches a huge flurry late, throwing tons of punches at Bradley. Trouble is, from my perspective, I don’t think that many of them connect. CompuBox gives him credit for way more punches than I see, and the announcers say it’s an obvious Pacquiao round. I still give it to him, but it’s not as clear as you think, simply because many of those punches miss. 10-9 Pacquiao

R5 – Bradley twisted his ankle in round 4 and is moving really slowly here, allowing Pac to land some pretty heavy shots. 10-9 Pacquiao

R6 – Not a ton of offense from either man here, but late in the round Pacquiao gets Bradley in the corner and connects. 10-9 Pacquiao

R7 – Close round again, as Pacquiao lands the round’s best punch, but Bradley has more success in those fast exchanges. His volume is enough to trump the one Pac shot. 10-9 Bradley

R8 – Not a ton landed by Pacquiao here, but he does stagger Bradley at one point, which is enough to take the round. 10-9 Pacquiao

R9 – Again, close, but this time it’s more due to inactivity. Both men moving slowly, and Bradley gets almost nothing in here. 10-9 Pacquiao

R10 – This time it’s Pacquiao taking the round off, as he gets in no notable offense, while Bradley lands some good shots straight up the middle. 10-9 Bradley

R11 – Bradley works off the jab nicely, but Pacquiao lands the harder shots late. This is a close one again. 10-9 Pacquiao

R12 – Bradley is in control here, with Pacquiao never getting going. He’s on cruise control here, and it shows. 10-9 Bradley

Final: 116 – 112 Manny Pacquiao.
