All of my filipino friends that were watching the fight are silent. I think they all committed mass suicide.

I said from the fights I've witnessed this ranks up there as one of the worst. There probably have been worse, but I haven't seen a lot of them.

If that means I'm naive because I haven't seen ones that are worse, I guess I am.

And lol at you thinking this is why the Floyd/Pac fight won't finally happen.

It's certainly not helping it.

You seem to be arguing a point nobody is disagreeing with.

You said it's a bad decision, but not as bad I'm making it out to be. I think it's safe to say "robbery" is as bad as it gets, and others seems to agree with that sentiment.

It's naive to think this being the worst decision you've ever seen actually means anything.

You compared it to Jones/Park, which is laughable, none of the quotes listed make the decision out to be as bad you did. They say it was a robbery, and that Manny should have won a wide decision, which is what basically everybody else has been saying.

Like I said before, it's not even the worst decision this year.

And how exactly is this making Floyd/Manny less likely?

[mls]

If anything made Floyd/Manny fight less likely to happen it was the Marquez fight.

Scored it 117-111 for Manny

And official scorecards

There is alot of theories running around, one is that Manny is getting close to the end of his deal with Arum so Arum set this up so he could make even more money on the rematch.

Another theory is that Manny is getting to the end of his career so Arum was looking to setup a new golden faucet for his top rank in Bradley....I think that theory sucks though, nobody believed Bradley won that fight and think this did more for Manny if anything.

So what is everyone's theory hear? It hard to pinpoint, I want to say incompetance but I've been watching boxing far too long to not say fix.

Somewhere, Marquez is laughing his ass off.

lol same here.

what a fucking parody that sport has become.

[Brad.Taschuk]

Can't believe all three judges gave round 7 to Bradley. Most of the other ones on there you can at least make a case for, but not 7.

[Punch Me]

Wtf how did Bradley do enough to win this fight, I hardly saw any real connecting power punches during the fight and he was in trouble a couple of times.

I'm not scoring round by round while watching but come on, Pacquiao was the attacker, in control, never in trouble etc etc.

Boxing today is just a bunch of divas, filthy managers and weird-ass scoring. "Prize" fighters/whores, not athletes. It's all about the hype, the statistics and the records.
