Pacquiao vs. Bradley

[Hawkeye32]

Honestly, this is why its hard to take any "sport" with an outcome essentially determined by a judge... etc seriously

Stats don't match the outcome.

What everyone with working eyes watched doesn't match the outcome.

Just saw a tweet: "I could neuter a dog and it would be less fixed than boxing is."

 

[Dillinger]

I was rooting for Bradley to win. I was ****** when that decision was read. Even a guy rooting for Bradley thinks this is BS.

 

[Hawkeye27]

Well, we now have confirmed evidence that Mayweather actually paid the judges off so he would not have to fight Pacquiao.

I figured Pacquiao would win and didn't watch this...now I want to see it.

If you want to see injustice, watch this fight, or Shawshank Redemption

I don't know much about boxing. I do watch Manny's fights though because my lady friend is filipino and obviously they are all crazy about him (not her so much, but her parents, and extended family who were all born in the Phillipines and immigrated here), so I like to watch him, and root for him. That said he was dominating and I kind of wanted to see Bradley get some shots in on him. Those shots never came. I tried to lean Bradley's way when I picked a winner for each round and still Manny with 9, Bradley 1, and two toss ups. Even with me giving Bradley the advantage it wasn't even close in my mind. It was clear who the winner was. I personally can't at this time recall a decision in any sport that was this far off base.

I'm in the same boat. Really don't like Manny at all but appreciate greatness. Was rooting for Bradley the whole way but I had the score at 119-109. Possibly giving Bradley 2 rounds at most making it 118-110. After hearing the first score of 115-113 for Manny sent me into shock. Just can't believe the scoring. One of the judges also scored Rios over Abril which was another lopsided match scored incorrectly. Wow I say!!!

Bob Arum: "I'm gonna make a lot of money on the rematch, but this was outrageous."
