    Fighter died so they changed it from 15 to 12.

    I understand and R.I.P to Kim but that was a long time ago.. Today's standard Athletes are in way better condition with better technology/medicine then they were back in the 80s??? Bringing back the 15 round format would seriously stop all these bullsh!t scoring as of late...

    "what" seems to be scoring these rounds by taking note of how many punches were thrown "with purpose" without taking into account whether or not they landed or did any damage. It's a fighting sport, you're supposed to land punches that do damage. Why would you give points to someone for throwing purposeful punches at another's guard?

    what, you allege that Manny would unleash "flashy" combos that hit "nothing but air". If that's true, why do several sources concur on a higher percentage for Pac? How did Pac land more blows according to the stats? Why was Bradley's face swollen and his body broken on a wheelchair while Pacman was probably singing some karaoke after the fight?

    You're scoring these things according to your own standards. Standards that nobody else except teams Mayweather and Bradley are using.

    Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and yall are bashing What for his. The judges agree with him, and it's not like he's talking trash or parading around over his accurate scorecard. I give him credit for being right, and thank him for trying to explain why he scored it the way he did.

    And to the person who said he is an overall horrible human being because of his opinions on an Internet forum.... You are pathetic.

    The decision was bull**** but Bradley being in a wheelchair had nothing to do with what Pac did to him.

    I need to watch the fight again, but on mute. You'd be surprised how much crowd reaction and commentary can influence you.

    Timothy Bradley just didn't get very many good shots on Manny whether the sound is on or off.

    You're both idiots. We're bashing him because his reason for believing so is beyond all logic. It's stupid as hell. We entertained his explanation and find no reason to change our opinion.

    The name is YaosDirtyStache. I, sir, am many things but PATHETIC is not on that list.

    Let it be known, on this day the TENTH of JUNE year 2012 that Rick Smith has announced himself to be a WHAT LOVER.

    Most probably say they won't but if the time came they most likely would.

    Just like Deron Williams said he will never watch another boxing match. If Pacman and Mayweather fought I bet you he would watch.

    It's easy to insult people on the internet. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but anything you say on the internet, you should be abled to say in person. If you think I'm an idiot, I expect you to say that to me if we ever meet in person.

    You are pathetic if you think someone is a horrible overall human being because of their opinions on basketball and boxing.

    Which corner of this board do you frequent? If you go anywhere near the NBA Dish you would certainly see that this WHAT (your lover) is a charade, he is like DD except actually infuriating rather than annoying.

    You are either:
    A. His lover
    B. Unfamiliar with him.

    Im leaning with option A. Thus, as his lover I understand your disdain for me as blind hatred that someone finds your lover disagreeable.

    WHAT LOVER.
