One of the biggest robberies of all time


Shocking scoring by the judges!!!

Maybe should not be that surprised considering some of the calls by the judges though.

Pacquiao dominated the early and mid round, Bradley came back at the end when Manny took his foot of the gas but you would still struggle to give Bradley more than 3 round in this fight.

But the judges had it 115-113 for Pacquiao, 115-113 for Bradley and 115-113 for Bradley.


Bradley looked as shocked as anyone else when he was announced the winner and was still in shock when given the interviews.

Pacquiao landed more punches got hit less, landed the cleaner punches, the harder punches, was more accurate, controlled the ring more.

Bradley was hurt several times in the fight was on shaky legs, Pacquiao never hurt never troubled.


Some of the scores from Press row

Associated Press: 117-111 Pac
SB Nation: 117 -111 Pac
LA Times: 117-111 Pac
USA Today: 118-110 Pac

Some quotes

"It's either corruption or incompetence." - ESPN's Teddy Atlas [Not Pacquiao's biggest fan]
HBO's Jim Lampley referred to it as the "worst scoring he has every seen."
"People, a great sport is now on a respirator. Boxing is presently a polluted playing field in every respect. Tonight was PAR FIR THE COURSE." - Lou DiBella
"Okay well maybe not worse than my draw with Holyfield but still bad nonetheless!" - Lennox Lewis
"Bradley by split decision. I AM SHOCKED. I dont even know what to say." - ESPN's Dan Rafael [Tipped Bradley to win on Points]

Rafael, who tipped Bradley to win on pts, had Pacquiao winning 119-109


Bradley 159/839
Pacquiao 253/751

Pacquiao landing nearly 100 more punches and a lot higher connect percentage.

Best post I've seen from you.

Hang those judges.

This fight was complete domination from MannyP.

Now we waste time on a BS rematch, zero talks of a Floyd fight....

[WESS]

Bob Arum is a Boxing Promoter not a Sith Lord.

But in Boxing he does has he pleases. He's been making fights for decades. Not even Floyd himself can stop Bob from doing what Bob wants to do. Sorry, you're just giving Floyd too much credit.. You should really stop that.

[Kagami Taiga]

If Arum plans on replacing Pacquiao with Bradley then he's an idiot. Bradley will never be a popular superstar imo.

thats not his plan. he wants pac to become sympathetic again, he wants to create a new rivalry for him. and he just did.

[GRUSTLER]

People need to stop blaming Arum, they are making fools of themselves.


Did anyone at all have Bradley winning this fight?

Think Pacquiao sweep press row, convincingly as well.

Is this guy serious?

[Evol]

The PAC vs jmm 3 was close this fight with Bradley wasn't even close. I give rd 10 to Bradley if anything and that's it!

Which is what has been on Bob's agenda for a long time now. Just wait until it's pac's last fight. Bob will make the fight like he has been making fights for decades. Bob does as he pleases. No fighter stops him.

No wonder why bradley was so overly confident in 24/7 and at the press conferences etc, arum gave him the green light that the judges are set and ready to go. all bradley had to do was not get KO'd and the win was his.

probably, arum wants to build up a new "star" but i dont see how this will help bradley build a fanbase most people say pac got robbed and your avatar is badass
