Pacquiao/Bradley WOW

[Gardiner 1st MRB]

Don't know if anyone else is a boxing fan or just a fan of Pacquiao, was going to post this last night but forgot.

But I'm sure most of you heard, Pacquiao lost the fight and probably one of the biggest fixes and robberies in boxing history. Most people, including myself, who watched the fight live gave Bradley one or two rounds maybe, and yet Bradley won the fight.

Such a disgrace to the sport and this is probably the final nail for killing boxing.

Here are some tweets from other athletes and celeberties after the fight

its all because no one would fight Pacman. So they felt if he lost to someone like bradley someone, you know who, would stop being a little wussy and man up! Thats the only reason to throw him under the bus i see, because the ratings for that fight would be thru the roof!

Yeah. Pac-man won that. There is no doubt that this fight was rigged because Arum knows that boxing is in a slump, and there are no decent fights coming up that people want to see. So what does he do? Pay off the judges, and have a rematch that will make millions again. Mayweather isnt going to fight him, so he needs something to make him money coming up.

Almost word for word what Stephen A. Smith said on ESPN.

I've never really understood how something like boxing can have "judges".

If its a fight, either one guy wins, or the other one does. Seems to me that 2 guys go

into the ring, and they should keep fighting until one of them is knocked out, chickens

out, or dies.

There should be none of this "whoever has the most points after X rounds" nonsense,

or "lets take this to the judges" bullshit!

If a referee wants to end the fight, then he can maybe recommend it, but if they two

fighters both want to continue, then in my opinion its nothing to do with the ref.

Yes, it'd be more brutal that way, but when the sport is basically "men punching each

other very hard", what is the point in judges? Yes, it would probably result in more

fighters dying, but in my opinion the responsibilty lies entirely with the fighter... they

have made the choice to participate in a deadly sport, so who are we to stop them?

If people REALLY want judges, then the only fair way of doing it, is getting the judges

to line up in front of both fighters, who then proceed to smack each judge in the face

as hard as possible. At least then the judges would have a pretty good idea of who

the actual winner was!
