You have got to be kidding me! Pacquaio had Bradley's number! I think this is going to go down as one of the worst decisions in boxing history.
What a disaster Boxing has become. The Boxing commission has to reverse that decision and ****can those judges.
+1, Bradley maybe, and that's a big maybe, won 4 rounds, somebody got paid big time for this one, IMO. That's the only way I can think of the judges giving Bradley this fight.
I assumed Manny won until I saw the above posts. I didn't watch the fight but followed it via ESPN, http://espn.go.com/sports/boxing/feature/video/_/page/fight-credential-pacquiao-bradley/fight-credential, who scored it 119-109 Manny. WTF happened?
I'm not a boxing fan but headed to a sports bar to watch the fight tonight and paid $15 to be there. After hearing the decision I'm convinced I haven't missed anything by not following boxing and will now revert back to not watching or paying for any bouts in the future.

Uh Bradley won one round #10. The judges decisions even the 115-113 for pacman were a joke and shows how corrupt boxing is. I thought I wasted $57 watching another pacman beatdown, scoring fight 11 rounds to 1 for manny. Boy was I wrong. He should have knocked out Bradley like hatton but Tim wouldn't go down after eating straight lefts all night. Travesty.
Glad I didn't buy it! It just seems to keep getting worse in this sport. Time to call it a day maybe.
Well, it was not a bad fight. That's the sad part. Pacman out-classed him, but Bradley really impressed me by hanging in there going the distance. He was a tough customer with great conditioning for this fight. Probably what saved him from going down mid-fight. Pac lost the last few rounds IMO as he stopped putting the pressure on, but he should have won on points easily. He was robbed, it was a joke and I can't believe Bradley actually thinks he won and claims "I didn't think he was as good as everyone says he was. I didn't feel his power," Full story here. http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/8032414/timothy-bradley-beats-manny-pacquiao-controversial-split-decision
Lol, apparently he wasn't allowed to watch it. But I am pretty sure he would have found out what the decision was 5 mins after it was over.
I am sooooo done with boxing! I will never pay to watch another fight (boxing) again. Not even Mayweather / pacman. Not only does 99% of boxing suck, it's fixed! UFC is so much better, no duckin, no fixed fights, no bull****.

I actually live in Bradley's city, Cathedral City. Everyone here wanted him to win but not like this. No one around here is all that happy, everyone is pretty disgusted. He did jack up his foot though, they showed it on the news, his ankle is huge. Crappy
I just got back from Vegas, but I wasn't there for the fight, but for the Electric Daisy Carnival which provided much more entertainment. I did stay at the MGM Grand and got to see Max Kellerman and company. I walked behind them/the ring display in the lobby at the MGM so maybe I came out on TV! As for PacMan losing, I don't one bit sorry for him. Same thing that happened with JMM at LEAST once. Anyways, as I was leaving Vegas, there was a huge billboard sign with Mayweather's picture with just a "43-0" next to it.
That's good to hear and after watching some pre-fight videos hyping the fight up, you could tell Bradley is actually a really nice family man and I bet deep down he didn't want to win this way also. After watching the replay the next day, I am sure even HE knows he didn't win the fight fair and square. But, it's done now. I hope several heads roll for this poor/fixed decision and bring on November 10. I reckon Bradley will work A LOT harder and put on a better show next time. He will certainly make Pacman work for his next win. The Pacman will have to come out a little stronger next time and finish him off in style to really prove to the world that he is the better fighter...................again. Lol, that's interesting. Las Vegas's long lost son perhaps?
I just saw the fight for the first time, and I have to say I don't see what all the fuss is about. The fight was close. I scored it 115-113 for Pacquiao, but I can see a draw or maybe a Bradley win. It certainly wasn't a blow out. Bradley was very active, and although he might not have landed as much, if he throws five jabs and Pac doesn't fire back he wins the exchange. I think the media and fans are too blinded by Pacquiao's fame. Official scoring aside, he lost the last Marquez fight, and maybe this one too. He's clearly slipping. Punch statistics don't mean anything if you don't use them to score. I never pay any attention to them.
I agree with you. I thought it was close and I would have given the win to Pacquiao, but only just. I also thought he lost his last fight to Marquez. That was a poor decision IMO to give him the win. I don't know if he is slipping. I am wondering though if he thought he was winning at the end of the fight easily and backed off. **I thought he was doing it quite easily till the last few when he didn't do much** Slacking off in the last few rounds really let Bradley catch up on the scorecards, but not enough to get the win IMO. This one was Pacman's, but he was 'screwed' if you ask me. As was Marquez last time. Perhaps this loss will really have Pacquiao step up his game. Do you think winning every fight for the last 7 years would make a fighter bored of fighting? I am not a fighter, I wouldn't know. But I know I get bored when I keep beating my friends at guitar hero on the Sony Playstation.
Good Showtime Card! Never a dull moment with Ortiz. Very good fight, and the Soto/Matthysse was too. Instead of just bashing fight cards, which boxing does deserve, It's only right to call'em good when their good.
