Based on tonight's decision, should probably just move it to French BBV.

Bradley: "I'll have to look at the tape to see if I won." Says it all, really.

I liked how Bradley said he would have to watch the tape to see if he won or not. I've never heard a winer say that. He knows he lost..

Did they just forget to play it close in the ring? Bradley already had Nov 10 booked, and the pre fight hijinx with Manny just reek of rigged.

What did you expect Bradley to do after the fight? Give the belt back to Manny? He instantly offered the rematch, and I thought he handled it well.

If he says smth like "manny won the fight" it makes the sport look ever worse, right?

No boxer in history has ever said "I'll have to rewatch the tape and see if I won the fight", it's as close to "I'm sorry, this fight was fixed" as we'll get.

Is that one of the judges, in your Avatar, marking the score sheet for the fight?

If you listened to HBO broadcast, 0% you think bradley was competitive.

But there were about 5 rounds that could've gone either way imo, and I had a feeling at least 1 judge would give pacquiao winning by 116-112 or 115-113. But there's NO WAY you could give bradley 7 rounds

It's boxing, the WBO (the authority issuing this title) and the Nevada Boxing Commission can do damn near whatever they want.

Unless they have hard evidence that the fight was rigged, then no, it won't be overturned.

There were about 5 rounds that could feasibly be scored for bradley, and if u listened to hbo broadcast u wouldn't recognize that. but having said that, theres no way you could find 7 rounds that could've gone either way. much less 7 rounds in which 2/3 judges decide to give all 7 borderline rounds to one guy.

Top Rank banking $ on the rematch

And on this day the WWE surpassed boxing as a credible sport.

The most significant blows Bradley landed were in the 1st round. It was a couple of body blows. Manny did more damage and still won the round. I'm not sure if Bradley landed a solid head shot the entire fight.

Giving Bradley 3 rounds is generous. 7 is a fix.

Lol bob arum's wiki is already updated. Under controversies: " It is believed that in the 2012 Pacquio-Bradley fight that Arum fixed the end results leading to a split decision victory for Bradley. The rumors and speculation being that with Pacquio's contract coming to an end, Arum needed to propel his other younger fighter Bradley to continue to bringing in money after Pacquio leaves.
