Manny Pacquiao is the real champion.

Did anyone catch the Manny Pacquiao / Tim Bradley fight tonight? If you did, you might be scratching your head at this one. Manny obviously won tonight but was denied a rightful win by two of the three judges, who incredibly (and despite the stats that clearly showed Manny out-punching Bradley) gave the win to Bradley. I'm totally confused.

Pacman won! It's obvious! The rest of the world scored for Manny. Only the 2 judges didn't. But with the decision they had, we can not do anything about it anymore. I just hope no more rematch and that Pacquiao will retire from boxing. With this, Vegas and Arum would definitely loose more money! The lost of Pacman didn't hurt much to all Filipinos, It's the lost of the boxing industry for they lose credibility. It's just a belt and a record and we all know who truly deserves it! Go Pinoy! Pacman we're proud of you!

Yes, I think that Filipinos everywhere can be proud. Because it's very well known, and widely accepted by everyone (even Bradley himself), that Manny is the far superior fighter, and the fight last night proves it. What made me laugh last night was when Bradley said that he would have to review the tapes. Well, where the heck was he during the fight that he has to review the tapes? He is the best witness that Manny won the fight by a wide margin because he was on the receiving end of Manny's fists. Why review tapes? And if you want more proof (as if you needed it), just remember that Mayweather (who's a superior fighter in his own right) seems to be avoiding Manny.

I totally saw the whole stats posted by my friends in facebook. I'm also quite disappointed how the judges put a decision like that. Yeah, Bradley was fast and put up a good fight but then it is not enough to beat manny. But still manny is always the champ for me. I'm always waiting for pacquiao - mayweather fight. :)

In order for that to happen, Mayweather has to quit hiding behind his mommy's skirt. Thanks.

Like millions (or even billions) of people around the world, I was definitely upset by the decision made by the judges. Although it wasn't a unanimous one, I still believe Pacquiao won over Bradley. During the game, I observed that the referee seemed to favor Bradley. I said so, because every time Bradley caught Manny in his arms, the referee wouldn't go in between them. Relatively, when Manny caught Bradley in his arms, the referee was quick enough to discipline Manny. Well maybe, it was the mistake of my eyes. . . or maybe because Bradley and the referee are both American. This boxing fight reminded me of another American show, the American Idol in particular. Well, Jessica is absolutely great. . . but just like the final results in boxing - she only came in second. Was it because she wasn't purely American, or was it because she came from a Filipino race? And I thought there was no discrimination in America anymore. Sorry, I was just thinking aloud.

Yes, i was so shocked.. i could not believe it for a few minutes.. But Manny accepted the result, but he believed he won it. Even otehr boxers think so and even his coach Freddy. I wonder what happened.. I hope this can be cleared up somehow.

Yes, i doubt it will ever be cleared up.. Bob Arum said the judges were too old and incompetent to judge, then why were they till there. All we can have is a rematch.. i hope Manny can knock him out then.

When you know you have won, you can accept the farce for what it is. And I don't think it will be cleared up.

I am expecting another Seventh Mystery that will happen on the Rematch of Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley, and to take a note too that if Manny didn't boxed with Bradley, instead, its Pacquiao versus Mayweather, the same thing will happen, Mayweather will win against Pacquiao, but it so happened that he goes to jail, so Mayweather will finally analyze that if he only faced Pacquiao, Mayweather will surely win for a wrong decision. Manny should go for a brutal knockout three times (3x) in order for those 2 judges not to doctorate the result scoring sheets....

Yes, I did. Boxing is more of a business than a sport nowadays. My personal thoughts on this one is that, there is a rematch clause on the fight contract. If Bradley losses badly, there will be no rematch because fight fans might not buy PPV or spend a dime to see it live. To gain more money than their 1st fight, Bradley must win. Pacquiao is boxing's cash cow and there is no other boxer who can fight Pacquiao except for Mayweather who still refuses fight him.

That could be true. Las Vegas probably has more greed than anywhere else and I wouldn't put it past them.
