Manny gets the shaft

[rlogan 2,036]

I watched the fight live and was shocked by the decision. I had at most three rounds to Bradley. Not that I'm an expert but I was a finalist in two different amateur state championships, so not exactly a #######. Lederman had one round to Bradley. So 115-113 Bradley on two cards was incredible to me.

But as always Manny was gracious, diplomatic, and humble. There's nobody like Manny Pacquiao.

late breaking news, Miami is not going to the NBA Finals. two judges scored the game 101-88 Boston.

even the commentators were schocked by the the decision. Seem like the fight was going this way the whole time as all the talk before the fight waiting on Manny to get his glove put on. The commentators also questioned the validity of the female judge. They commentators didn't think that they put together a good group of judges for this fight. I don't know how you can win a fight with less punches landed and being off balance the whole time?

I was angry as hell at it. Manny's such an excellent boxer. It was just #######.

Actually I thought I heard wrong when they said Bradley won. I am not an expert but my eyes saw the many punches that Bradley took from Pacman.

Bob Arum's TOP RANK promotes both Pacquiao and Bradley. http://www.toprank.com/fighters Bob says, "the judges are incompetent but the judges are honest".

Bob is not a very good actor or liar but he doesn't really need to be. Everyone in the industry knows what happened but there's nothing they can do about it. It's all a show. The fans are the losers here. As a long time boxing fan, I understand it and almost expect it. I'm sure I'll watch Manny fight again if he continues after this. I'm not going to stop watching boxing as many have said.

One thing I wonder is, how many people at Top Rank knew what was going to happen if the fight went to a decision. Did both corners know?

Everyone was shocked. The ESPN commentator after the fight, just came out and called in blatant corruption in the sport. No honest judge thought Bradley won. It was overheard that Bradley told his crew, I did my best I just could not beat the guy

Next time,,, they will generate even more interest (And more money).

Everyone likes a rematch with an air of vindication...

Should be a great rematch.

My wife visibly upset, was asking why Americans hate Jessica Sanches and the PACMAN / She said why they hate Pinoys ?

I agree -- more money to be made on the rematch. The folks that are shocked don't realize there's the sport of boxing and there's the business of boxing.

I mean really -- how do you beat a guy in boxing by hitting him less than he hit you?
