Re: Pacquiao vs Bradley: rigged or not rigged?
Sir, you do know the post you quoted had nothing to do with Mayweather correct? Does not liking Manny automatically enroll me into the Mayweather camp? I am a Mayweather fan but saying Manny is on roids doesn't only come from PBF fans, it comes from quite a few fans across boxing. What Manny does with fluctuating his weight and keeping that speed and power is unheard of -- you can thank other sports but when these 'unicorns' pop up most people are thinking steriods. Thats the nature of the beast my friend.
Well, I heard Manny eats malunggay (known as moringa). It's his favorite and old folks say they're more effective than any steroids available. That maybe his poor man's equivalent to Popeye's spinach.Last edited by Control-X; 06-11-2012, 09:46 AM.

Those talking about judging in MMA, at times it's just as bad. It just hasn't happened in a championship fight, I believe.
Dana tweets about horrible judges and how he doesn't pick them, all the time.
It also helps that MMA isn't under suspicion of being rigged.Originally posted by MoJust once I'd like to be the one they call a jerk off.Originally posted by MoYou underestimate my lazinessOriginally posted by Mo**** ya

Re: Pacquiao vs Bradley: rigged or not rigged?
Pacquiao has stayed at this weight class since De La Hoya so I don't understand this whole "he's been going up and down in weight for years! Must be taking 'roids" talk.
Fact is, nothing's been proven against Pacquiao. I'm not an expert on steroids, but I would suspect he'd be knocking more people out than he has been lately if he were on it.Comment

Touching on the 'unicorn' nonsense, you may find this interesting-
Mayweather at 16 years old was fighting at 106 lbs, and has fought as high as 154lbs — and Pacquaio at 16 years old was fighting at 106lbs and now fights at 147. There are minor differences regarding when the weight gains happen- but they have essentially done the same thing. The only difference is that Mayweather was in the amateurs when he was 16 and Pacquaio was a professional, for some reason that makes a difference.

Re: Pacquiao vs Bradley: rigged or not rigged?
Scrap the whole Commission. Nothing to do with them being up in age.
I don't even like Pacquiao and I felt he dominated the fight. I felt he slaughtered him. Early in the fight I actually started feeling sorry for Bradley as he was clearly in over his head.
I think Max said mid-fight, "this is the difference between a good fighter and a great fighter".
Pacquiao was throwing wildly? Yes. He always does.
The punches that Bradley threw were just slaps to the gloves. I only counted 2 clean hits that Bradley landed in the whole fight. One was a sharp right counterpunch.
They need to completely change the way boxing matches are judged.. I really had not seen a decision that bad since Roy Jones Jr got screwed in the Olympics some time ago. I thought the fight was that one-sided.
I've been hoping for years that boxing employ former boxing pros, trainers, boxing sportswriters as judges-Primarily those that were able to hold on to their cash upon retirement meaning they can't be touched by outside influences. Guys like Leonard, Hagler, Foreman, Roy Jones, Teddy Atlas, Lennox Lewis, etc. This would probably never happen but it would be cool to see..At the very least for fights of this magnitude if not across the board.Last edited by NINJAK2; 06-11-2012, 05:32 PM.EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.Comment

Re: Pacquiao vs Bradley: rigged or not rigged?
I agree. I watched this fight for free at Buffalo Wild Wings and the place was standing room only. When they announced the decision the whole place shouted "WTF" and put their hands in the air in unison like a damn flash mob. No one in that place thought Bradley came close to winning. I personally thought Manny won 9 or 10 out of the 12 rounds and when they annonced that 1st score I became a little concerned about the judges ability to score a fight. I really had not seen a decision that bad since Roy Jones Jr got screwed in the Olympics some time ago. I thought the fight was that one-sided.

Now I wouldn't mind a revolving door of boxing sportswriters.
I also feel that there should be some sort of post-fight review by a second set of judges.
Hold up the purse until the average score is in range with the fight score.
Sounds weird but there definitely needs to be a secondary review IMO.Comment
