Very good video. People should boycott the HBO announcers until they are replaced because to say that they are a joke would be a gross understatement. They are far worse than that and I stopped listening to them a long time ago. They don't have any credibility with me. The sad part is that Jim Lampley actually knows boxing very well, but for some reason he just chooses to be a cheerleading idiot in a desperate attempt to influence the viewer to believe that something is happening when it isn't, and of course that the people he is biased towards are much better than is actually the case.
Two things stood out while I was watching the video.
First of all that the commentators are completely 100% biased towards Manny Pacquiao and against his opponent. So much so that when he throws punches and misses them all, they go crazy like he is putting a serious hurting on Bradley. But when Bradley lands 4-5 clean punches that push Manny back, they completely ignore it like nothing happened. They're not just biased. They are flat out liars who will ignore the truth and come up with myths to influence you.
The second thing is how sloppy Manny Pacquiao is in the ring. The slow motion replays really illustrate that this guy is nothing more than a wild brawler with great stamina but very poor technique and zero defence. And what's funny is that he gets made to look like an amatuer and miss like crazy by people who have never been known for having good defence (like Shane Mosley). People say things like "Well how can you be happy? This ruined the Mayweather fight!" but we all know that Manny's decision makers weren't going to make that fight happen, and if it did happen, I think we would all look back on it and think "How did I get tricked into thinking that this guy was on Mayweather's level?". People laughed when Floyd said it would be easier than the Marquez fight but I think it would be easier. Pacquiao is so sloppy, one dimensional and lacking in ring intelligence that Floyd would just counter the **** out of him and probably stop him in 8 rounds or less. It wouldn't be competitive at all.
The Pacquiao-Bradley fight was not a robbery by any stretch of the imagination. It was a close fight with close rounds. I think more than anything people are just shocked that Manny didn't get another gift after the Marquez robbery but what goes around comes around and in my opinion that decision was a far worse one than this so nobody should be feeling sorry for him.
