WHY was Bradley AWARDED the decision you ask? It's quite SIMPLE.

You know these kind of threads will be more respectable if you leave your bogus scoresheet out of it.
I stopped reading at 115-113 in favor of Bradley really.

 

Wow, are you naive.

Seriously, dude, wake up already.

 

Las Vegas Mafia is working properly. Its all business and money.

Remember Pac-Morales and Pac-JMM trilogies?

It could also happen to Pac-Bradley.

 

"A lot" translates to less than 10% of the general boxing population right now. A 115-113 decision of a close fight is a "gift", like what Pac had in Pac-JMM 2, a 115-113 decision for a fight where the best the "winning" fighter can do is a draw is nothing less than a robbery.

Good choice with the edit. :good
And now we reply:

Can't agree more. Nailed them all right there.

One thing Arum might have done wrong is have an overly high expectation of Bradley.
It was clearly shown in the bout against Pac that "he's not there yet" or worse, will never be on the same level as Pac or May.
I still consider him a B class fighter as of now, at least in the JrWW and WW divisions.
Sucks to be honest, considering his the top dog in JrWW and officially a champion in WW.

Now back to my point, pretty soon, Arum will realize that Bradley doesn't have the skills to be "his next PPV star".
ODLH had both A-class skills and charisma.
Mayweather has both A-class skills and intriguing persona (fake I suppose, but he carries it oh so well)
Pacquiao has that A-class athleticism and a style that's easily pleasing to the mass, a true rags to riches back story and that humble and classy aura that is rarely seen but immensely appreciated by the mass.

In short, this might backfire on Bob, and it might backfire really bad.
Pac may play the sheep role right now, but I'm sure there are tons of people speaking to him right now that Arum is behind all these, and I'm confident he's leaving Arum for good next year, hopefully even before that.

The only good thing that may come out of this is with Arum out of the picture, Pac-May can finally happen, albeit 2 years too late.

 

Let's hear your take or STFU genius:deal

 

This is the first time this minute that I read that exact conspiracy theory.

 

your "original" theory has been posted too many times to count, but congrats on your epiphany. :good

 

Why because Pac slacked off after round 9. He should have stopped paying attention to basketball and trying to knock this kid out.

 

:deal

Pacquiao fought a lazy fight. Not the first time he does it against a fighter who isn't "big" enough for Pacquiao to rise to the occasion..His fight against Oscar Larios comes to mind...It was unnecessarily competitive because Manny didn't have that fire to win big combined with his inability to cut off the ring. I think Manny had a chance to put him away in the 3-5 round but never really put his foot on the gas...In the end (in the judges eyes) he was out hustled by a guy he out fought. Not the first time that happens, not the last.

 

I agree 100%.

 

Saying Pac fought a lazy fight simply takes credit from what Bradley did and is simply an excuse. We get plenty of these anytime Pac doesn't perform as "expected".

 

Na. I have never said this before. Other than that what did Bradley do? Oh right he threw a lot of punches in between getting smacked around by Pac's left...I forgot. atsch
