Comments Thread For: Timothy Bradley's Victory Smeared With Wide Controversy

[edgarg]

I see that about 50% of the posters are openly accusing Arum for fixing the fight. This is not only completely crazy-and I mean CRAZY- but is also very frightening. To see people with irrational hatred of another, and to know that thay are walking areound free(presumably) and able to procreate, and get jobs just like normal people, seems to me that the world is well on the downside=and downslide.

[WESS]

That may be called "Karma" but writing (as you did in your just previous post, "last final" is called "creative" English. Of course you would sight in on Arum, you can't help it, I suppose you look under your little beddy evey night to see if he's hiding there, and you scare your big brother and sisters with the Bogey Arum Man.........

I had the fight 116-112 and could easily have had it 117-111, but decided to be a bit generous. Every single round=by-round site I looked at had the fight a landslide for MannyP and the howls of hundreds of posters must have been heard in Canada. Unfortunately I didn't her the after-fight interviews because my damned station cuts out to ads and the following programme immediately the decision is announced.

How's life eddy? You mad that I was right about Bob?

Btw, I had it 119 - 109 for Pac. Bob now has a "legit" excuse to make Pac vs Bradley II and then Pac vs JMM IV before being forced to answer to Mayweather, in which he will cash out on Manny.

Anyway at the end of the day, I know that you know I was right about ol' Bob and it's killing you, which is why you felt the need to respond here.

Carry on lil eddy...

In the end, who loses with this bull****? The true supporters and fans of boxing. To put it simply, there is absolutely no credibility anymore. For those wondering, the rematch has already been set: November 10th -- and apparently the third match to complete the trilogy is in the works as well.

Pacman never Peak i was suprise at how smart pac has gotten from the JMM3 fight he never got wild he never forced punches just let the fight come to him not a pacman fan but worse decision i have ever seen this fight wasnt even close

Still needs to cut off the ring better and stop letting "boxers" take his left away by just circling him. I do agree he didn't get too wild though.

Welcome to the world of Bob Arum.

Hearing the decision, I was disgusted.

I did not understand how Bradley could of won
this fight.

I definitely assumed robbery, like the most of you.

Me and my brother decided to watch it one more
time.

This time we would watch it on mute. On flurries
we would slow down speed to see punches actually
landed.

As we got deeper into the middle rounds we realized
what a sucky a*s fight it was. Yes there were flurries
from both, but in most of those flurries nobody landed
a single punch that was not a nip or a sc****. The fight
was just terrible.

Were there close rounds?
Yes. There were.
Sorry close rounds. Only close
because nobody did anything.

Close rounds that I would consider a missing fest.
Jesus Christ, after reviewing this fight it seemed as if they
were not even trying to hurt each other.

There was plenty of action. Yes. INEFFECTIVE action.

This fight was just overall sorry. Both of these fighters
just blew.

Point being, once we got done watching the fight again
we understood that if the close rounds were awarded to
Bradley, then he came out with a marginal win. Same thing
with Pacman. Do not argue that there were not any close
rounds, there were! ONLY BECAUSE NEITHER DID ANYTHING
EFFECTIVE.

This was analyzing the fight clear punch by clear punch.
In real time speed, then in slow motion.
The commentary completely muted. The only time we did
turn on the volume was to listen in case of landed punches.

Pacquiao did not school Bradley, he did not do nearly enough.
Bradley did not beat Pacman, he did not do nearly enough.
Both ****** a*s to be completely honest!

I am not a Bradley fan, I am not a Pacman fan.

I URGE YOU. WATCH IT HOW I DID. BE COMPLETELY UNBIASED.
YOU WILL SEE THAT THIS FIGHT WAS TERRIBLE.

Cotto VS Mayweather was two times this fight was.
That is just the truth.

What do I think?

I think Pacman won a close fight. A terrible and boring close fight.
Pacman had a few bigger shots. Thats it though. They both
were useless for most of the fight.

Do not give me that compubox bull**** either. Come on,
being honest, how many big shots did either of these guys
land? There was nothing remarkable.

Schooling is what Devon Alexander did to Marcos Maidana.
What Pacquaio did to Mosley. What Pacquiao did to Cotto.
This was not a wipe out. Look at their faces. This was nothing.

You are in denial friend. This fight has Bob's fingerprints all over it. The only thing worse than an in-house fight is an in-house fight with a greedy promoter pulling the strings. Consider the following: Bob controls both fighters and gets all the promotional money. If Pac wins this fight he probably retires without fighting Mayweather leaving Bob with a lot less money and a Bradley without his undefeated record. Even if Pac wins and fights Mayweather who is his own agent, Floyd makes more money than Bob or Pac plus a chunk out of Bob's ego. Bob's take: a retired Pac and a blemished Bradly.

Is it hard to fix a pro fight? Of course it it is, unless your a guy who been in the game for ages, has a ton of money and does only in-house fights where there is no dissent about who the judges are. No one is complaining about the decision louder than Bob but he is a happy man. Why? The rematch which is already set will make more money than this fight. if Pac fights Mayweather fine, thats more money. If not he still has an undefeated Bradley with a win over Pac on his resume.

He's just a troll.. He knows that Bob has an agenda. I think he's just a little upset and needs some kind of support system. Poor lil guy..

Was this actually the worst decision in years? I was just watching ESPN with Dan Rafael at the post fight presser saying that Lampley had called it the single worst decision in his 30-plus career calling fights. I understand that sometimes people might say stuff in the heat of the moment but was it THAT atrocious.

Keep in mind:

Paul Williams vs. Erislandy Lara
Brandon Rios vs. Abril
Lewis vs. Holyfield I
Joel Casamayor vs. Santa Cruz (this was the worst one I've ever watched live on the Cotto-Mosley undercard)
Juan Diaz-Malignaggi I
Felix Trinidad vs. Oscar de la Hoya

Keep in mind, I haven't seen the fight (Bradley/Pacquiao). Isn't it astonishing, though? In Ray Leonard's autobiography, he says that he's ran into Hagler a few times years after they fought. They had just witnessed a strange decision in a boxing match and Leonard went, "Can you believe that, Marvin?" and Marvin responded with, "It's Vegas, Ray. It's Vegas." alluding to their match that had its slight controversy as well.
