Round by Round: Pacquiao vs Bradley

Arum trying to reign Pac back in...

 

::

 

Maybe Pacquiao will kO him...or MAYBE he does the same thing he did today only difference being the REF get it RIGHT this time....


I have no problem not buying Pacquiao PPV..I didn't buy Pac vs. marquez III.

 

:l1:

 

Instead of expressing indignation and given his new-found religion, Pac probably and stupidly thought of saying that "I respect the decision" nonsense so as to look humble, nice and not to offend. Which is utter shit.

 

The only sense I can make of this is the following:

Manny bypasses on the rematch...Floyd fights Bradley and wins Manny's title...then Floyd and Manny get together and the storyline is the fight but Manny gunning to get the title wrongfully taken from him.

Mayweather and Floyd dicked around too long and the fight lost steam...that's my guess.

Teddy Atlas was on ESPN saying he thought this was Manny's last fight with Arum and the decision was/is corrupt.

Honestly...I'm loving this. Fuck Manny and his bullshit idea that he's somehow a prophet and fuck Floyd...let him rot where he is.

this was garbage, is there even 1 single person in this board who legitimately thinks Bradley won ? In fact, I expected the fight to be more competitive than it was, I was surprised by the way Pac alway's seemed one step ahead. Sure Bradley fought well the last four rounds ( Pac seemed to coast a bit and, once again, it shows why you should never ever do that in a sposrt as corrupted as boxing. For all the people who likes to piss on open scoring, it would have made the fight much more compelling in this case ) but it's not like he swept all four or was espcially dominant

 

Good point, I guess it's possible open scoring could cut down on complete robberies.

 

Steve Kim tweeted that Thomas Hauser had Bradley winning by one point.

There's your one person.

:l1:

 

nah, it's only the 11 and 12 which are the championship rounds

 

Unbelievable...I left the spot where I was watching because I saw it as pretty one-sided in Pacquiao's favor - I thought maybe Bradley won 1 round, if even...then I come here to get the reaction of you guys to the fight and find out Bradley got the decision. I'll just consider this a Pacquiao win and move on with that understanding - not a chance I'll watch the sequel. Very clearly the worst decision I've ever seen in a high level fight.

 

same here, at best for Bradley would have been 7-5 Pac, and that's being very very generous. I thought he lost all the first eight and won maybe 3 of the last 4. Hell, I wouldn't have aruged to much with 10-2 Pac

 

"I'm going to make a lot of money on the rematch, but this was outrageous." Arum said (espn.com)

 

same... I gave him the second and 3 of the last 4 (only 2 with any certainty), I wouldn't think 10-2 was outrageous or anything

 

You know what could be ironic? that after this, Floyd offers more money to Bradley to fight him, leaving Arum and Manny with no lucrative immediate rematch and then Floyd starches Bradley in four rounds!::

 

I had it 8-4, 9-3. Something along those lines

 

I heard Freddie was so shocked when he heard the decision he stopped shaking.

 

same here, PBF works hard enough on his own to sabotage the fight that I highly doubt Arum would kil Pac bargaining power in what would be for him the highest earning one in Top Rank history. Especially considering it's pretty much a give Pac will retire soon so Arum will want to make the more money possible out of him and that is by far the Floytd fight.

 

::::

 

that's the only logical explaination I can think of

 

Man from the whole calf tightness from the beginning of this fight I knew some shit was off. This is whack! I'll Holla 5000

 

Bradley is probably pissed off that he was preparing his bad ankle excuse, then didn't get to use it. I wonder if he'll recycle it for the rematch...?

 

From AP:
"This is a death knell for boxing, and I'm going to make a ton of money on the rematch," Arum said

 

:laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:

 

the worst part of it is that the boxing industrie basically blacked out Don king becasue he was too corrupted and shady yet, G and Top Rank are both worse than he ever was. At least King gave us solid undercards

 

This is the only part that matters.

Ole crooked fuck!

All I want for Christmas is Oscar, Arum, and Shaefer locked in a room with 5 Hatians on bath salts.

 

Word. I miss Don Kings cards.

 

I actually think the angle here was to create another star. Manny and his Jesus bullshit is threatening retirement. They did the same to Oscar when Cowardly Shane cried and sulked in corner and gave him the fight. Manny will win the rematch and the have a new "name." I was kind of cheering for Tim. I like him. He is a good honest pug, I just can't see how Timmy won.

 

LMAO! They're saying Timmy broke his ankle.

Oh Lord. This fight just REEKS of corruption.

"Pacquiao was the victim of a controversial decision loss, however Bradley was able to win the fight with one leg."

You don't fuckin fluidly dance around with a broken ankle!

What a crock this entire fight was..........

We SHOULDA FUCKIN KNOWN! The moment Bradley starting discussing the rematch, should have been a GIANT warning sign.

 

I agree, it didn't seemed to me that Bradley ankle was hurt in any way
