[RINGG]

They tried this before but I hope they reform boxing.

How about all the Boxing experts and fans all throughout the world (Even in the Phillipines) that had Marquez winning? What do you have to say about that estupido? Face it. Pacquiao lost his last two fights. He's done.


I say you hop on the Donaire bandwagon before you miss it.

You didn't watch the Bradley fight, it's obvious!

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is using boxer Manny Pacquiao's controversial defeat over the weekend to push for long-stalled legislation to more strictly regulate the sport.

The second sentence says everything you need to know about the article and the situation.

"The Nevada Democrat, who knows Pacquiao well and has enjoyed the famous boxer's political support in the past,".

No I meant he lost one officially (Bradley) and he lost another unofficially (Marquez). Deal with it!

in competance cant be an excuse of bad decisions. THe decsion should be reversed as the judges seemed to make a decison on being a bradley fan. No other basis for their decision.

Judges are suppose to judge without any bias. As are referees suppose to ref as well. That obviously will never change since we see refs like Russell Mora and Joe Cortez. This is something the State Athletic Commissions are whoever assigns these people for the gig need to change. No promoter or matchmaker or boxer can stop this. Well unless they refuse to fight but then they lose out on a paycheck.

I hate Harry Reid but this is BADLY needed, just make some sort of American Boxing League or some ****, you can still have promoters but drug testing, champions and judging oversighted with this group involved.

Its needed, but cotdamn, our country is in a mess. Id like to think there are more pressing issues that our senators and country would like to spend their time, money and resources on.

This is a glimmer of hope for the sport. Boxing needs to clean house BAD!!! Hope it happens.
