Boxing: A Tale of HBO Nuthuggery

Read the description, lest you chance making a fool of yourself commenting.

This video IS NOT about who won the fight, nor is it really about the fight. Read the title.

In order to keep the video within 15 minutes, I had to cut corners. If you feel the action moves too fast, pause, rewind, replay. Much of what I wanted to include had to be scrapped as well.

I'd like you to pay attention not just to the action, but what the commentators say. When HBO constantly repeated "Pacquiao", and they did that A LOT, they made some viewers subconsciously favor Manny and concentrate on the things that Pacquiao is doing. Note how they keep talking about Pacquiao's power, his musculature or status, oftentimes when Bradley is doing good work. Then, they also degrade Bradley's work by either ignoring it or straight talking shit. Throw in all the bogus shot calls, Ledderman scorecards, crowd reaction, and what you have is an attempt to sway the viewer. If you don't believe TV got people mind controlled, then you also probably still think you live in a free country or that you are doing something noble by joining the military. For example...

The point is not to show that all of Bradley's shots were clean and powerful, although some were. The point is to show how the HBO team would call Pacquiao's complete misses as scoring and even hurtful shots, all the while ignoring Bradley's partial shots and clean connects. Isn't a partially blocked jab from Bradley a more effective shot than some of Pacquiao's "straight left hands"? But I guess if you call Pacquiao's misses as clean shots, your goal is not to be fair or truthful, is it?

Lastly, how is it that Pacquiao supposedly landed all these quality shots, yet Bradley's face looked almost untouched? Wouldn't all these straight left hands show like they did on every other opponent? Anyone?

If you disagree and believe that Pacquiao did land a lot of clean shots and HBO was fair, please submit a video response. If want your argument to be more than mere OPINION, I guess you're gonna have to do some work, huh? Talk is cheap.

And for the record, I had Pacquiao winning a close fight that could've gone either way.

Thanks for watching.

dont get offended by my comment bro lol I really do think you live up to your screen name im just saying what I feel from what boxing fanatic to another

[PrecisePuncher]

Not offended. Manny did land a lot of good shots. But this vid is not about that. It's about him getting credit for shots he didn't land and how the commentators ignored Bradley's good work.

I still think Pacquiao won the fight, btw. Peace.

It was even worse in Marquez vs PAC 3!!! Marquez absolutely conquered PAC and the commentators and judges were somewhere else. Pac's head looked like it was hanged by a swivel but Marquez was never credited for winning.

[PrecisePuncher]

That's interesting because the broadcast that I saw (Khan+Colonel), they were swinging off Marquez's nuts acting as if he dominated Pacquiao when he got his ass beat pretty badly. Sure, he landed some clean shots and won quite a few rounds legitimately. You can even say he won the fight, if you felt generous. I thought he came close. No cigar, though.

Pacquiao made Marquez look like the elephant man. Again...

Wicked video man. I don't normally read into conspiracy, but I think you may be onto something. At the end of the fight I reckon you can hear that the commentators feel very embarrassed and perhaps a little bit exposed when Bradley gets the decision.

[PrecisePuncher]

Glad you like, thank you. I'm not sure about a conspiracy, although anything is possible. I think it's a case of seeing what you wanna see. Mainly dollars from the continued success of the mega star that is Pacquiao.

sky sports is where it's at...i grew tired of this bullshit for a long time. glad mayweather moved on!

[rojojr]

This video id BS !!

[Hem3fiction]

expose? This vid is more biased than the commentators.

[Hem3fiction]

A little closer. You could see where Harold got his 119-109 score for Pacquiao but it does seem a generous to his favour. But this vid is still quite biased. I don't want to give it any credit.

[marlo999]

Great video. I'm a longtime boxing fan, and I've had it with HBO's bias and cheerleading for their house fighters. This just helped me own some idiots on a forum I post on.

Thanks for taking the time to make it.

HBO Boxing is the FOX news of the sports world. All bullshit, all the time.

Real fans dismiss HBO for boxing analysis - they are just too biased and prejudiced.

[stevewilliams369]

Man, I know it takes you a lot of time to analyze these fools and their biased BS but I want to let you know that your hard work is much appreciated by all of us out here that have been seeing this crap for years but couldn't call HBO out on this. HBO is PATHETIC. I am so glad you took the time to EXPOSE these guys for who they really are!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS!!! THEY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED!!!
