The funny thing is.......a few months ago when Marquez got robbed *******s were celebrating and ignoring the fact that Bob Arum is scum. They were so focused on believing that Mayweather is evil that they couldn't see the real devil was standing beside Manny all along. Im glad Bradley won because some people need a dose of reality every now and then and lets hope this will make enough people start to demand better conditions for this dying sport.

^^^^^^ this!

I'm a Pacquiao fan, and I can't say I'm too disappointed with the scoring. I mean, I was getting nervous when, after round 8, Manny just stopped working. I wanted him to win, because it's a great addition to his legacy: beat a prime, undefeated and legitimate champion instead of a used-to-be as he and Mayweather tend to do.

Bradley arguably won rounds 1-3, then Pac won the next 4 or 5. After that? Manny was content to cover up and follow Bradley around, all the while taking clean punches. He tried to get away with only working hard for 5 rounds while riding on the laurels of his credentials.

This wasn't a disgrace from the judges: it was a poor effort by Manny Pacquaio.

He only threw a handful of punches at a time, towards the end of a round, and while that worked for Leonard against Hagler, the judges remembered the entirety of each round for this one.

I'm sad to see that this will basically eliminate the Mayweather fight for good (as Pac really had a shot to take his "0"), but honest eyes would have been okay with this fight scored as-is.

I was frustrated too. After he hurt Bradley, it seemed he didn't go for the kill. I don't know why. I felt something was stopping him, he slowed down. I don't know if the cramping legs came up again. At one point in time, it looked like he was dragging his one feet, and at one point he was shaking his legs. I don't know what the problem is.

We've all been played! You go Arum and Pac. Pac was in on the fix! They were building excuse all day with Pac's actions and his new found religion. I'll never support another Pac fight he's in on the fix as well.

What??? PAC WAS ON THE FIX??? What are you saying? You don't know how it was hard for Manny Pacquiao to lose. He was teary-eyed during the interview with the Philippine Media and he is not a cry-baby.

Not a huge Pacquiao fan by any stretch, was LOOKING for rounds to score to Bradley. Bradley was thoroughly dominated and won no more than 2 maybe 3 rounds being generous.

Arum is such a POS.

Really? I thought Bradley swept the 10th, 11th and 12th. Manny just stared at him in those rds and i also thought he picked up a couple early rds. Then again i was watching at the pub, so i really can't be sure. Need to download in HD and watch again. Manny was def chopping him in the middle rds though. In those mid rds Bradley was hitting nothing but elbows and gloves.

[check hook]

Watching at the pub i thought Braley fairly clearly won rds 10, 11 and 12 and prob the first round. That's four rds right there. I need to rewatch the entire fight. At the end of it my perception was that Manny had won because he dominated the middle rounds and was cleaner but i thought he didn't look that great and that it was close.

Unfortunately even pro judges are swayed by how many punches a fighter throws whether they are landing or not. Bradley def got points just for throwing and for the jab.

Disgusting worst desicion I'm more disgusted with this desicion than with the desicion with pac-marquez just disgusting this will harm the sport for sure does anybody really believe bradley deserved this? Even bradley fans have to disagree with this.

[komodo]

I could only give Bradley 4 rounds and that's being generous. Shocking

[Lostlinka]

Bad, bad decision. Will this really harm the sport? I doubt it.
At the end of the day the real losers are us the fight fans, yet we keep lapping crap like this up and coming back for more.

I wonder if we will ever truely get sick of the corruption or just have this type of fresh rage and then get pumped up for another let-down.

On a personal note, I have never liked Pac-Man, whether it be because of his association with the criminal Bob Arum or his disingenuous interviews. I would feel gutted had it been any other fighter but in a sence this is karma coming back to bite. I find it hard to pity him given the Marquez fiasco where everyone knew he lost 2 of the 3 fights.

Another aspect to Pac that makes me feel less sorry for him is his sorry connection with Arum. This man is a disgrace and a great fighter like Pac should have been shot of him years ago. It just shows how weak Pacs 'team' really is.

Oh and one more thing, quit promoting religious crap in your pre-fight hype Pac. I have nothing against a man believing in what he feels right but when you spew it our multiple times you look like a evangelical recruiter. I don't want to hear your reliigous buddy chattin about how you're going to hit with the power of 15.000 angels, I want to hear about your tactics and god damn fighting spirit.

[sofreshhh]

I don't I'm watching any more boxing.

Who gives a f@ck. The sport doesn't need you. You should have known as soon as your idol got into the ring with a live dog, he was going to be exposed. Pacquiao had a good run beating up on old weight drained, fighters coming off brutal beating. But everything comes to a end. Great job Timmy!!!
