The HBO crew was probably at their worst ever. They commented on punches that didn't even land. Lampley was the biggest cry baby of them all.

I think everyone is pissed because of how lopsided it was. There are somewhat close fights that go the wrong way, but this one could very well be the worst in boxing history. There is no conceivable way to score the fight for Bradley without being a complete fool.
The reason people are hating on Bradley is because he won't admit to losing the fight. Let's be real though, we all know Bradley lost the fight - and Bradley as well as anyone knows he lost the fight. But what if you were in Bradley's shoes? Are you going to give the belt back and miss out on another multi-million dollar payday? HELL NO you wouldn't. You'd milk it for everything it's worth. So don't be pissed that Bradley isn't doing the noble thing and giving the belt back. He's doing what's best for his career.
The boxing world has exploded over this, everyone knows that Tim Bradley lost. The only thing we can hope to do now is make a strong push towards cleaning up the sport. The guys over at ESPN boxing have some great ideas for it.
The first step is overturning this GARBAGE decision, but I don't believe that will happen.
And just to be extra clear to the world: if you had Bradley WINNING, you are a complete fool.

Originally posted by Iron Boatok so Pac lost the WBO title, big deal, he was going to fight Marquez next whether he won or loss so what difference does it make? Does everybody now go from being angry that he got a gift against Marquez to sad cause he got robbed by Bradley? Arum is a smart man, now Pac is a martyr who got robbed rather than the guy who got a gift against a 40 year old lightweight
Bradley got the ultimate gift decision against Pacquiao in which pretty much NO ONE had Bradley winning. If Pacquiao had gotten the decision, pretty much no one would be standing up saying BRADLEY GOT ROBBED.
p.s. even if what you are saying was the case, trying to "equalize" ****ty decisions in boxing with more ****ty decisions is NOT the answer.

I think that Mexican fighters and fighters like Manny has changed the way people look at a boxing match. They usually give you toe to toe action every round. They put more into their power punches than they do in defense. It usually leads to a well pleasing fight. The truth is, with todays boxing fan, fighters like Muhammed Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Pernell Whitaker, Ray Robinson, and Roy Jones would always get booed. These guys actually boxed. Its not about going toe to toe. Its about hitting and not getting hit. Its suppose to be the sweet science, not the backyard brawl. So of coarse most people thought Manny won. He's an action figher.
Now in saying that, I watched the fight only once and thought Manny won. But I was drunk and heavily influenced by the commentating and fans cheering. But I'm almost certain that when I watch the replay this Saturday, I will change my mind. I do remember Tim taking alot of shots, but I also remember him slipping and bobbing alot of Manny's bombs as well. There were times when Tim would look a little akward when throwing his punches, but there were also times when he looked good. The punches just didn't affect Manny as much as Manny affected him. But Tim still did a great job and I think he could outbox Manny easily in a rematch. Just how dominate was Manny if he couldn't KO a feather fisted champion with 2 bad wheels? Maybe he did win but it still wasn't impressive.
