Arum and the judges should all be put in the ring with Khan.
Khan gets the truth out of everyone.

People saying Bradley unanimously swept the last 3 rounds? I gave Bradley one of them out of pity because he somewhat came alive but he did not outright win them all...

I personally had the fight close, but still couldn't muster up to give Bradley more rounds than I did, so I voided my bets lol. I'ma start going with my own personal score-card from now on when it comes to betting, cuz I think fight fans know how to score fights (and analyze the match-ups tbh) better than the judges and insiders do. I had it 115-113 and I gave Bradley rounds 1/6/8/10/12. If I saw the fight again, maybe I'll have it further in Pac's favor, maybe not. But the feeling after I watched the fight was that Pacquiao put it enough work to get the victory. Pac did the same thing that Marquez got criticized for, he took his foot off the gas and it cost him. It's a robbery in the sense that Bradley didn't convince me that he deserved the victory, he simply didn't do enough. Just in the same way that I felt Marquez got robbed because Pacquiao didn't do enough to convince me he won. Bradley did enough for the judges, but I simply cannot agree with a couple of the rounds that he was given credit for. All 3 judges gave him round 7, and I thought that was a clear Pac round. Two judges gave Bradley the 5th, which I think was one of Pac's best rounds.
Bradley did well for his first shot at the BIG time, but he didn't fight the way I thought he needed to, to win the fight. Bradley started off well in the 1st, but then he started playing Russian roulette and traded with Pacquiao. He gave into the allure of playing the tit-for-tat game that Pac thrives on. He allowed Pac to dictate the pace and Bradley got zapped of his energy cuz he was movin so ****in much, the twisting of his ankle is cuz he was getting overwhelmed. I respect Bradley for finding some way to make it to the 12th when it was starting to look like he wasn't gonna make it. He started visibly fading around the 7th/8th (can't remember which one), but he bit down on his mouthpiece and swung it out. Even if he couldn't hurt/stun Pacquiao, he was trying to throw some of his shots with authority behind them. His shots were getting wider and wider, and a prime Pac would take advantage of that, but I knew that he wouldn't be able to pay for his mistakes as consistently as he would need to, to get the stoppage.
Bradley was moving pretty well, but he reminded me a little of Khan in there, filled with a lot of nervous energy.
Pacquiao had enough athleticism left to buzz-saw the hell outta Bradley, and he did do some intelligent **** in there, very good punch selection and he consistently found Bradley with the left. Bradley gave him a stationary target and Pac almost took him out a couple times. If anything, Bradley shows he got a solid chin. This was a decent fight with a highly controversial decision and I honestly wouldn't mind seeing it again. I wish the circumstances were different though, cuz a lost wouldn't have hurt Bradley in the slightest. He didn't fight with the composure needed to beat Pac, but he made the fight close enough to where some (albeit few) felt he won. **** happens i guess. Now casual fans are gonna tune in to see if Bradley can turn this into positive momentum, or they'll hate him so much for getting the decision that they'll pay to see him get beat.
I wonder how the Pac fanatics are gonna take this one. WTF is Bombs at? Put that guy on suicide watch or somethin lolLast edited by kiaba360; 06-10-2012, 10:50 AM.

I had it closer than the HBO commentary had it. Anytime Pacquiao would land something the HBO crew would go insane but when Bradley would land a good punch they would be quiet just like in the Marquez fight. Personally speaking there was some swing rounds and I would be comfortable calling it a draw.
