What a piece of unmitigated shit!! The two judges who scored the bout in favor of Bradley 115-113 should be taken to the front steps of the saloon and pistol-whipped. That the third judge scored it 115-113 for Manny incredulates me. What fight were THEY watching?? Fuck, when HBO gave the 6th or 7th round to Bradley (who up to that point had NOT won a round previously) I was surprised. But THAT round was close. The other rounds were NOT close. HBO scored the bout 119-109 to Manny (11 rounds to 1). Hence my chagrin and gritting of teeth big time.

Of course, now Manny has lost this fight, that arsewipe Mayweather may sidestep his bout with Manny by the excuse "he just lost his last fight." Is there a God??

HBO commentator was obviously incensed as he stated "I have never been as BEFUDDLED (now that's a major comment) by this decision and it is absolutely wrong." I anticipate a fire storm heaping scorn and ridicule on the Nevada Boxing Commission.

I understand the intricacies of scoring boxing bouts, but this was so totally obvious.

Whether Manny accepts the offered rematch in October remains to be seen. Boy, was Manny abundantly gracious in his post-fight interview. One ultra-classy cat.

$10 Mil each fighter in the re match in October.

Think a fix was in on this one?

Most corrupt sport in history and your Surprised. Until Don King Dies and a few other fight promoters punch their tickets. Boxing will continue to be corrupt.

I don't watch the sweet science anymore because of that. Even when It's so Fucking obvious that a fighter has won... the verdict now almost always goes in the opposite direction with everyone going WTF just happened!..
Its a toss up which is more corrupt. Olympic Figure Skating or Professional Boxing

Equally Bad, always have been especially in important, closely rated fights that mean millions to a few who would benefit with a rematch.

Yeah winning/losing by decision is always up for debate. Fight until KO is the way to go :) Too bads for Manny.

Just rewatched the fight. 6 rounds for Manny for sure. 2 rounds for Bradley. The other 4 are close, but I'd still say all for Manny.
Don't feel too bad for the man though, I am sure he will be able to get by.

I'm not sure that it matters Manny hasn't fought well in his last 3 fights I'm not sure he ever had the skills to beat Floyd but he sure doesn't have them now. I don't think it would be much of a fight if they do meet.

boxing is the only sport I can think of where you don't know(for sure) who is winning.

over the yrs there have been some incredulous decisions where you wonder if all the judges were watching
the same fight.

AP had it 117-111 for Manny,the judge that had Pacqiao 115-113 had it too close,but at least he had the right fighter ahead.
dunno the names of the 2 clowns who had it 115-113 for Bradley but they s/b prevented from judging any more fights,imo.

They did talk about posting the judges scorecards after every 3 rounds or so, but the idea never went anywhere. But every time I see a robbery (lewis -holyfield I)
for example, I think they should reconsider.

Simmer down people....these lousy decisions have been going on forever in boxing and also in the UFC. The Nevada State Athletic Commission is abosolutely pathetic and Keith Kaiser is an absolute Jack A*s!!! But what are you gonna do? He runs the show and he refuses to admit there is any problem (just a POS politician). The fact you have boxing judges who don't know MMA judging it, should tell you all you need to know.


*On a side note, Many has been on the other side of those bad decisions....just ask Juan Manuel Márquez :nod:

**On a further note....would it kill Manny to actually knock someone out? How about taking it out of the judges hands for a change? Lack of power in the Mini Me Divisions is why I don't like watching it, that goes for UFC too.
I Still think there's merit in having the scores posted after every round, or every 3 rounds, that way everyone knows where things stand. I think the reason they don't is because if one fighter is way up on the cards he could just start coasting, but that potential downfall beats the hell out of these crappy decisions which appear to come out of nowhere.

I didn't watch this fight. I stopped watching boxing a long time ago because of crap like this.

The Pacman wasn't in the mood after watching his favorite NBA team, the Boston Celtics, lose to Miami before the Big Fight last Saturday evening. :) :)

Anyways, Pacman will be back with a vengeance come rematch time October or November and Bradley will be lucky if his foot is the only thing broken during that time. Well, boxing needs something to keep it going while the King of PPV is in jail. ;)

The only person that robbed Manny was his promotion company Top Rank and Bob Arum. People have been telling Manny for years Arum will fuck him soon as retirement is talked. Arum and top rank own both Manny and Bradley so either way he makes off like a fat rat. What better way to keep fools buying ppv then a rematch. Floyd was smart enough to leave top rank many years ago hopefully now Manny will see how evil a person his promoter Arum truly can be.
