Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley Discussion Thread

I wonder how this is all going down in Vegas and other betting sources.

Bad judging is as old as combat sport itself. Don't act so surprised. Floyd would never let this happen because he doesn't give away rounds like Manny did with his half-effort.

And again, if I didn't hate Manny for stealing 2 fights from JMM I'd have more sympy for him. BUT HE ISN'T GETTING MY SYMPY :steiner:

It's Vegas. The place people go to settle disputes. The home of boxing. The fucking MSG of WWE. Two shitty calls will crush that rep. Judging has always sucked but not this hard. If you lose on a bad decision anywhere else that gets controversy, you settle it in Vegas. Not any more.

I wanna hear Dana's opinion lmao

Props to Manny for his class while getting robbed though. I don't hate him as a person, just hate that he's overrated by so many. He's great, extremely great, but he aint the best.

I'll re-watch the fight tomorrow with no commentary and lyk what I come up with. As I said throughout a lot of the rounds were close, and the commentators just assumed every close round went to Manny, as did I (especially since I assumed any close round the judges would award to manny as they generally did) But let's face it besides 2 or 3 rounds Manny really didn't do much dominating in this fight. Him trying to coast in the early stages of rounds and win them in the last minute didn't work. Manny gave away rounds by not throwing enough and Bradley had a solid workrate throughout.

Manny screwed manny

Dana has spoken

Dana White: Worst athletic commission in the country!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dana White: Nevada state athletic commission at its finest!!! Youve for to be fucking kidding me!! that is disgusting Nevada state athletic commission!!

Dana is a boss. Completely agreed.

The black legend said it's the worse decision he's seen in his life. It's all over Sky Sports. Interviews after interviews about the state of boxing.

All I can say is Manny gave those rounds away. He was clearly the better boxer, but he inactivity for the first 2/3 of rounds bit him in the ass. After football/before TNA I'll re-watch the fight and try and figure out what 7 rounds you possibly could have scored for Bradley.. you would have had to of been rooting for him either actively or subconsciously and giving him every single round that was close.

Thinking back I know the first 2 rounds were close, the 7th was Bradley's, and the last 4 were all fairly close with Manny pretty much coasting. The only rounds that Manny won fairly convincingly were 3-6.
