I hate manny for being a punk, but what a freaking disgrace. Horrific scoring.

Agreed. Unbelievable really, Bradley's corner didn't even celebrate after the result knowing that he didn't deserve to win.

What a crappy night in the sporting world.

PeteLFan · 06-09-2012, 11:08 PM

I don't know how he could have won in any way shape or form. How the hell did they let this happen.

Bertuzzied · 06-09-2012, 11:09 PM

Boxing is EFFFING dead. How much money did those judges get paid off??

terrible. No one is going to watch this crap anymore.

Joborule · 06-09-2012, 11:19 PM

How the hell did they get their decision when general consensus is that the fight wasn't even close?

The Yen Man · 06-09-2012, 11:23 PM

What's crazy is that EVERY live blog I read had Pacquiao winning EVERY round except maybe the first. This is such an obvious fix by the judges. I dont think I have ever seen it so blatantly done before.

PeteLFan · 06-09-2012, 11:24 PM

At best I'd give Bradley 2 rounds and that's still iffy. I don't even know how the explanation of where they sat made a difference. From all angles it wasn't even close. Even Bradley was not ahem back and said he would have to review tape.

PeteLFan · 06-09-2012, 11:28 PM

This was obviously rigged, Bradley already have the date for the rematch. Hopefully everyone protests. I was pulling for Bradley too, but you don't do that to someone's career and record. Boxing has become a complete joke.

Cheerio · 06-09-2012, 11:30 PM

Apparently even Bradley's manager had it scored 8-4 for Pacquio, how does that happen?

trublmaker · 06-09-2012, 11:31 PM

unless you really beat the champ you don't take his title, terrible decision.

FiftyBelow · 06-09-2012, 11:32 PM

Interestingly, Pacquiao probably shouldn't have "won" the fight against Marquez last time around... This time he "loses" one that he probably won. Very strange.

The Yen Man · 06-09-2012, 11:33 PM

Didn't see the fight, but reading some posts online, apparently even Bradley was hesitant to accept the win since he knew he should have lost as well. That pretty much sums it up IMO. Terrible night for boxing s already tattered reputation.

Lots of people were pissed about this decision.

trublmaker · 06-09-2012, 11:35 PM

Watched the fight and it reminded me of when they gave the title to Leonard over Hagler

ResAlien · 06-09-2012, 11:36 PM

It's far more believable that it was just terrible judging that cost Pacquiao the fight. The idea that someone paid off the judges to screw over the biggest boxing name on the planet in the event that the fight went to the scorecards is ridiculous.

Terrible judging was 115-113 score for pacquio. Awarding Bradley the win, I just don't know what to say.

bluejays · 06-09-2012, 11:50 PM

Well, I watched the fight as well, and to me Pacquiao won as well, but I didn't see a dominating win by any stretch. I'm somewhat glad he didn't win though, simply because I'm really tired of seeing boxers nowadays coming in for the win-for-decision approach as opposed to the knockout. Maybe Pacquiao's corner will go the the gym and work on finishing a fight in the first 6 rounds instead of relying on that decision.

As for judging and reffing in boxing, well that's been messed up for awhile. Mind you in person, the sport is a lot quicker and easier to miss stuff, judging has been pretty bad the past few years. Even the undercard fight before the main event tonight had a controveral missed set of calls which ended a pretty good fight to a no-decision for either fighter, because the one boxer couldn't continue after the ref missed at least 1 blatent below the belt hit. Stuff happens, but these misses shouldn't happen at this level.

Agreed on that point. Knock the guy out and leave no doubt. Bradley was just hanging around the whole fight. He was completely outmatched, but you never know what a judge sees.

Garbage decision. #RIPBoxing is trending on Twitter.

No way. they got paid and they got paid big time.

I've been a huge boxing fan since 89, but i'm done with this sport. At least 4 highway robberies in judging this year. Terrible sport. Kellerman and HBO should interview the judges at the end of the fights.
