I remember that fight, wasn't a clear cut robbery. It was a controversial decision though because people can score it both ways. I watched that PPV, it was boring as fruck of a fight, Machida decided to run for 2 rounds and then turn it up in the third.
I'm too lazy to argue all his points but I want to say that he stands on a very small island. Do you fully endorse all his points, though, what?
That's the best I could do for Bradley too. Anyone that gave Bradley more than 4 rounds was pushing for him to win that fight. He was eating Pacman's left all night long. I'm no boxing expert, but it seemed to me that all Bradley did was a speed bag drill, tapping Manny on the torso for 12 rounds and that was because Manny let him. Any time Pacquiao wanted to hit Bradley, he did and with alot of force.
I was surprised by the lack of punching power Bradley had considering his physique. Dude looks ripped and rock solid. Manny looked like he lost muscle mass.
Watched the fight again with sound off. No way in hell that Bradley won.. Cannot even make an argument.
This. If those judges can't tell apart effective punches and taps, they should find another line of work. The WBO's actually conducting an investigation http://ringtv.craveonline.com/blog/...on-director-judges-to-review-pacquiao-bradley and that should find nothing less than that.

The WBO cannot reverse the decision nor can Bradley technically give back the belt. He can forfeit the belt and it would be vacant. You can't give a championship belt back to someone. Especially if the decision remains the same. Bradley already said on his twitter that he re-watched the fight and felt he won. Bradley will not be fighting on PPV again anytime soon, and I honestly see most people at 147 going after that belt now. I'm not sure who he is going to defend it against, considering he has almost no power for 147. He should move back down to 140 and fight Khan, Maidana, Garcia, Marquez, Guerrero etc. Plenty of fights he can win down there. At 147, he is gonna get eaten up.
Why are 74 year olds judging such a fast paced sport and not using the available extra monitors as tech has changed so much?
it's not about the belt anymore. majority of boxing fans know that Pacquiao won that fight. manny got his 25million. people wants justice, and that is to punish Nevada boxing, at least.
Well regardless, yes everyone except the two judges knows that Manny won, but that isn't going to change the decision. However, I do hope that these judges get fined or suspended or something. I'm tired of seeing this type of **** in boxing and the judges not even getting a slap on wrist. It makes me sick.
Paddy Power has refunded all bets made on Pacquiao to win. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...-site-refunds-money-after-outrageous-decision
Boxing is basically wrestling now right. I won't begrudge people who continue to pay money to watch something that's fixed, just as long as those people realize it's no longer a sport.
