It was a pathetic decision, and almost everyone agrees with that. The thing that makes me laugh is that MMA fans seem to think they're somehow immune to this sort of thing. I've watched a lot of MMA as well and seen some terrible/questionable decisions there as well. The one difference here is that its Manny Pacquiao and a clear superstar in the sport.
A few years ago there was talk of showing the judges scorecards after each round. I would love to see that. It would definitely change a lot, but it would also help eliminate garbage like this.
