    Surely this result cannot stand, it's beyond a believe tbh, are they blind or something?

    Letterman had it 10 rounds to 2 in favour of Pacman

    I had it 8-4 to Pacman.

    I'd agree with the 8-4.

    Marquez result was the same, Manny was well beaten.....


    Crazy split-decision though

    The very most you could have given Bradley was two rounds. Utterly bizarre.

    Simply astonishing. Grotesque. A complete mockery of whatever standing the sport still had.

    I just don't understand boxing anymore... It's almost like NSAC felt guilty for Pacquaio winning a tight match by making him losing a clear win.
    I give up.

    Jesus ****ing Christ I'm shaken up. Was watching this in a bar, came back after the final round and they announced Bradley as the winner - nearly collapsed!

    Bradley shouldn't have celebrated. I was fairly cut watching the fight but as far as I could see MP was a clear winner. He was frustrating at times and faded a bit but overall he was dominating.

    Oh lord. I suppose I better watch it again tomorrow

    I could have watched it on Al Jazeera with the world-feed commentary on it - I'm kind of sorry that I didn't now tbh.

    Manny won 8 of those rounds with ease, Mental calling from them jokers.

    Scandalous if there is not. When do we find out what the breakdown of the scores was?

    by logic now a rematch has to happen. Keeping the money in house for Top Rank. Probably some type of swerve on Arum's part.

    Theres nowhere else for Manny to go after Bradley but to Mayweather.

    And quite frankly Arum probably doesn't want to line PBF's pockets.

    I'm not going to watch this kind of rubbish again, might aswell watch WWE Wrestling.

    Contract already in place for the re-match & the fight will go ahead in November..... If Manny wins then he has to fight Floyd or hang his gloves up imo.

    That result was a disgrace. I thought Bradley won 3 rounds, 4 at best, and even at that he was lucky manny didnt finish him in the middle rounds. Fair enough manny took his foot off the gas a bit after the halfway point but he won it by a long way.
    Before the fight I thought Bradley had a fair chance, if manny didnt bring his A game. But Manny definitely won the fight. Thats the worst decision ive seen in a long time.

    I feel this story is going to run and run. If anything at all, the judges should be made explain how they awarded the fight to Bradley. Manny had 80 more landed punches compared to Bradley.

    Why would there be a rematch? So we could watch Pac kicking the crap out of Bradley again? Yes MP will naturally want to prove himself, but he needs to just move on. And we all know who we want him to move on to.

    Wow just wow really. Arum fuming? Like **** he is, if you ask me he was behind all of this if the rumours are true that Manny was leaving him after this fight.

    As for the fight itself, being generous i gave Bradley the first, and i have to say i could see how he would have got 4 out of the last 6 rounds because i really thought Manny was very poor in the 2nd half of the fight. But for Bradley to get a decision against a P4P superstar has absolutely floored me, especially after seeing Marquez not get the decision last November, i would have thought Bradley would have needed to win at least 9 rounds to get the nod from the judges over Manny.

    And how Jerry ****ing Roth (who was one of the judges to give that decision to Bradley, along with a female judge) got to judge another fight after the Rios/Abril debacle is in itself a crime.

    Wow.

    And dont be surprised if we never see Floyd Mayweather fight again after this result.

    Well let's face it, this was Bob Arum cashing out on Manny Pacquiao. Manny is almost at the point of retiring and Top Rank needs a new star. It's the only explanation that makes any sense.

    Have to laugh at Arum telling the media "They're trying to kill boxing".

    'They' :D

    If I were Manny I wouldn't bother with a rematch. Everyone bar two judges know he won.
