What this proves is that whoever you are you can be robbed at any time for any reason, it's a shame but that's just the way it is nothing is sacred in this sport anymore
I wanted Bradly to win, I favor him more. He landed some good punchnes early but that was about it and by the end of the 12th round, I was nearly 100% sure that Manny had it in the bag. When I heard he won it, me and everyone I was with went crazy. I have no idea how the hell he got that victory. As said, I'm a fan of Bradly but it was clear on all spectrumxs that he lost. Another thing that's killing me slowly, is the HBO staff. There intereviewers, commentators, judges, etc and whatever. There all annoying, biased, and bug me. I'd really like to see some people in that business who know what there talking about and aren't pest during commentary, etc.
To be fair, a lot of the rounds were closer than the HBO punchstats or the commentators let on.
Your a Fuc*kin IDIOT if you actually think that. That **** was nowhere near close!!!!!! We should have known the fix was in as soon as Bradley was talking about a rematch on an exact date.
This was probably one of the most blatant robberies I have ever seen and I have been watching boxing for over 20yrs. I honestly may be done with boxing!!!! This was shameful!!!!!!!
