Wow... I watched the fight and turned off the decision because it wasn't even close. Can't believe I'm reading this. Wack. As. Hell.
Doesn't matter, everybody who is upset will buy the PPV match and make more money for these guys. That's how Boxing has always made money. Just when you think the sport is dead - Promoters ensure that there's a controversy and plenty of "beef" between the champs.
Arum...
Something like this is so outlandish, it's a death knell for the sport. This is f------ nuts. I have both guys, and I'll make a lot of money in the rematch, but it's ridiculous.
Also who paid for this fight are the idiots. Wasting money watching PEDcquaio
the match has been set for the lost of manny pacquiao

Apparently Bob Arum handles both Pacquiao and Bradley. Manny loses, opportunity for a rematch. Quote from Arum after the fight, "I’m going to make a lot of money on the rematch, but this was outrageous"
But, all over the news today, Arum is demanding an investigation into the results and is denying a rematch unless there is one (as if that'll ever happen). Covering his tracks after the massive internet backlash, who knows (?)
Watched the fight, honestly, there were a few rounds early in where Bradley was physically shaken and dazed, sitting in the corner he looked drained and defeated. Pacquiao maintained his composure from beginning to end.
until someone uploads the full fight on youtube, here's a pretty good round by round recap: Timothy Bradley stuns Manny Pacquiao by split decision - latimes.com
Punch Stats...
Yup. I'd give points to Bradley on stamina and enduring it all.
Somewhere around round 3 he fractured his left foot and twisted his right ankle. Makes you wonder a little how/why Manny didn't finish him off by round 5.
Bradley's a good hugger thats for sure.
I use to live across the street from Tommy Hearns, and watching him fight in those days was the best I have ever seen. There were so many good fighters, and it just seemed like boxing was at it's best. I was to young to see Ali fight, but I sure it was great as well. I really like pac, and would love see him fight M.W., but by the time they fight if they do it will be to late. It's ashame the way boxing has turned out!
