My embedded is better than A-wolf's.
He could be just acting, movie industry is big in Filipinas and there are tons of actor wannabes.
And pacfans should give up already, two wrongs don´t make one right but a correction would make everything look wrong. So just say farewell to that bogus stolen belt Pac had

Andre Ward: "Tim Bradley should give his belt back after Manny Pacquiao debacle"
Super middleweight boxing champion Andre Ward says that if he was Tim Bradley, he would give back the WBO welterweight title belt to Manny Pacquiao.
Bradley won a very controversial decision against Pacquiao on Saturday, and almost all of the reporters and fans in Las Vegas thought Pacquiao dominated the fight.
"It was a ridiculous decision," said Ward, who was at the fight. "Bradley lost the majority of the rounds. If it was me personally, I would admit defeat and say, 'Here's your belt back.'"
Bradley said after the fight that he would watch it again to see if he really won. But his comments got stronger later, saying he thought he "carried the fight with my jab" and that he was the "No. 2 pound-for-pound" best fighter behind Floyd Mayweather.
If Bradley did watch the fight over again, he would clearly see that he lost the fight, Ward said. Bradley didn't get one good punch in, Pacquiao said, and Ward agreed that Bradley's lack of power was evident.
"There was nothing there, nothing to suggest it was even close," Ward said. "If you were being generous, extremely generous, maybe you could give Tim four rounds and he loses 8-4. I love Tim, he is a friend of mine, but he has to know that he lost that fight."
And Bradley should say that and give the belt back to Pacquiao.
"It's the right thing to do," Ward said. "It's a tough situation, but you gotta make a stand and that will help make sure that this kind of thing doesn't happen again. He won't lose any stock - in fact, his reputation would be enhanced.
"It would help us put the reigns on this Wild Wild West situation that boxing has become."
Ironically, if Bradley had lost the fight he might be looked at more favorably by boxing fans.
"He has nothing to hang his head about," Ward said. "He hurt his foot early and he never gave up, took some good shots and hung in there."
Ward was at the Pacquiao-Bradley match to promote his Sept. 8 fight in his hometown of Oakland against light heavyweight champ Chad Dawson. Ward was stunned just like everyone else at the MGM Grand when the split-decision result was announced.
"My first reaction was shock, then anger and then sadness," Ward said. "I have dedicated half of my life to this sport and what happened Saturday is unacceptable. And it's going to continue to happen until there is a commission that starts to impose sanctions. There have to be investigations and punishments."

Comments like that annoy me, what Bradley got he earned through hardwork. Yes I think Pacquiao won but at the end of the day if Bradley didn't show heart to sweep the later rounds he wouldn't have walked out with the W on the judges scorecard.
People's reaction to this fight makes me laugh, it shows what star power does. I didn't read people saying ''Pacquiao should hand his title back to Marquez'' after losing the fight in the eyes of the majority.

Watch it a 2nd time, still the same core, 117-111. You can make it also 116-112, giving the 1st round to Bradley. First round could have gone either way but the late flurry by Pac gave him the round(just my opinion).
Round 2-5 Pac has more activity. But in the 6th, his activity decrease a little. Bradley wasn't doing much either except maybe a few more thrown punches. Bradley was mostly hitting gloves and elbows/arms. So their activity the first half of a round was almost the same. Only in the last 1:30 that Pac increase his activity. The Last 3 rounds, Pac didn't do much. That gives Bradley the last 3 rounds.
Like i said, 117-111 for Pac and it can be 116-112 also. Bradley only got 3-4 rounds.

Good man Ward. Bradley is a honourable soldier, and soldiers dont rob people and are upstanding citizens we can all look up to.
His win over Pac is like a victoria cross to a soldier, but a victoria cross a soldier earns. Hes puts his life on the line for his fellow soldiers lives. Bradley didnt earn that decison or victoria cross, so has to give it back.
He will do the honourable thing and he knows its right. Especially after how Pac has acted the gentleman as always. He could have kicked and screamed but hasnt and for that alone he needs his belts back.Last edited by hugh grant; 06-12-2012, 05:31 PM.
