closest card was 115-113 Pac.

Should put a definitive close to that fight decision, now hopefully we see what's up with WHY it went down like that.

Watching this fight was grueling. Scoring it was too much like work. Pacquiao did not impress me, but Bradley just plain irritated me. He seemed content to throw jab-jab-right cross into Pac's gloves, but Pac seemed content to be in block mode until he decided he wanted to fight. Then Bradley would many times run into a good left cross.

Also, a tough fight to score, despite what the compu box stats say. I scored it 116-112 Pacquiao and had a headache afterwards.

You should probably go to the You Tube video's page and read the description. The guy says he has Manny winning the fight as well, the video was simply to point out HBO's biased coverage of Manny.

but he twists things around at the same time too. Letterman's comments for example that Manny was landing left hand's were made to seem incorrect. Manny drilled him with the left hand, he missed too (or course) ... Bradley got hit hard several times with big shots, is anyone here actually denying that???

Another thing I noticed, it was either the 9th or 11th round, but I think the 11th without going back and looking at it again - Pac was busier and connect more by large margin, which goes against some comments that pac lost ALL of the late rounds which I've seen online and via radio commentary.

Pac was the CLEAR winner, Bradley actually didn't do very much at all that fight...I'm not buying any of the "controlling" thoughts either.

Re: Pacquiao vs Bradley: rigged or not rigged?

This whole outrage over Pacquiao getting robbed is comical to me... Yes it was a bad decision and yes HBO commentating was horrendously bias like it always is for a Pacquiao fight...They don't even try to hide their bias anymore...Did you guys actually expect Jim "boom boom" Lampley and Harold "score every round for the HBO favorite" Lederman to give Bradley a fair shake? Come on now, they did the same biased crap during the Marquez fight...

Anyways there have been far worse robberies in this sport...In fact there was one just this past April (Rios vs Abril) and i saw no review for that highway robbery...Why didn't Abril get a review panel? He CLEARY won that fight by a wide margin yet i didn't hear anything near this loud of an outcry for Abril...I don't give a crap who Manny Pacquiao is, you don't go this far out of the way to right a wrong based on star power...Abril should of got the same treatment but this is boxing and this is yet another reason why this sport is on life support...
