Pacquiao vs Bradley: rigged or not rigged?

[chuguman99]

I watched the fight just now, and the decision was total bulls**t! What the heck! seriously...it had to be totally rigged! Pacquiao literally won the whole time!!!! So, i don't agree with the judges, but we all know he won. So rigged or not rigged?

i just got home to a facebook flooded status of this lol... looks like everybody is in consent that he should've won?

Re: Pacquiao vs Bradley: rigged or not rigged?

i'm not willing to say "rigged" (although it's possible). i'm more willing to say that boxing judges have become completely incompetent over the last few years. i don't even know what fight they're watching half the time! SMH!!!!

Rigged and corrupt, as it's always been apparently.

I swear it seems like boxing can't go 2 events without something stupid happening.

Rigged!!! Bulls**t. Manny was feeding ol' dude straight lefts to the grill the whole damned fight. Boxing can kiss my black ***. I'm watching MMA only from now on when it comes to combat sports. The only boxing match I will watch from now on is IF Manny & Floyd fight. Other than that, boxing can eat a dick.

I didn't see the fight but there aren't this many people that love PacMan:

Fox Sports scored it 119-100 PacMan.
LA TIMES 117-111 PacMan
Dan Rafael ESPN, 119-109 PacMan
Harold Lederman has it 119-109 PacMan.

Emanuel Steward says he's "dumbfounded.",
Harold Lederman is incredulous, saying, "you can't miss this!"
USA TODAY Sports' Bob Velin calls the decision "unbelievable."

Pacquiao landed 253 total punches to Bradley's 159. In power punches, Pacquiao outlands Bradley 190-108.

it had to be rigged, all three judges scoring the fight that badly?

Re: Pacquiao vs Bradley: rigged or not rigged?

Is there a precedent for boxing's biggest name losing via terrible decision to a non-star?

This might be a first. Boxing now has as much credibility as WWF.

At least the WWE admits that it's fake... wtf boxing!

It's obvious to me that the Nevada State Boxing Commission got their scoring system from EA. I've seen some of these same results on Fight Night Champion!

This reminds me of when Sugar Ray got the decision over Hagler, except this fight was much more lopsided. Hard to take boxing seriously any more.

That was a close fight. This one was apparently not.

This is a huge shame, but now the inevitable rematch will do huge buys. I wouldn't be surprised if it was rigged.

My hope is that in that rematch, Manny would come out and do to Bradley what Roy JOnes did to Montell Griffin in their rematch.
