    The truth is an elusive thing to some. Even when they are smacked in the face with it.

    The more i watch of this vid the more suspect it gets. Take 3.35 and that straight left that he says misses, if u turn up the volumn on ur speakers and listen, it sounds like that punch lands and even if u disagree, i dont think u can say for sure it didnt land, in fact manny steward was confirming a lot of these shots

    I look forward to watching the rest of it later, unfortunately work calls

    I just do not understand it, I mean you can see this clear here I mean he even freezes it to show you the shots are blocked or slipped and some people, I just am at a loss for words here....:verysad

    You want to know whats wrong with boxing? Saturday HBO did a poll, 97% for Pac 7% for Bradley and 2% a Draw, the problem is the 91%

    Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
    And think of you
    Caught up in circles confusion--
    Is nothing new
    Flashback--warm nights--
    Almost left behind
    Suitcases of memories,
    Time after--

    Sometimes you picture me--
    I'm walking too far ahead
    You're calling to me, I can't hear
    What you've said--
    Then you say--go slow--
    I fall behind--
    The second hand unwinds

    [Chorus:]
    If you're lost you can look--and you will find me
    Time after time
    If you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting
    Time after time

    After my picture fades and darkness has
    Turned to gray
    Watching through windows--you're wondering
    If I'm OK
    Secrets stolen from deep inside
    The drum beats out of time--

    [Chorus:]

    You said go slow--
    I fall behind
    The second hand unwinds--

    [Chorus:]

    Time after time...
    Time after time...
    Time after time...
    Time after time...

    The Iraqis learned that the hard way, Our own President lied to the American Public and convinced them Iraq was behind 9-11, Iraq had a direct link to Bin Ladin and Iraq had WMDs.

    The people believed it so much they agreed to this illegal war only to find out there was never a connection to the attacks or Bin Ladin nor was there any WMDs we killed thousands of innocent people behind perception.

    The Media is a very powerful tool when used right

    Well, at the end of the day, Bradley gets the win. And the people who want to be blind, stay blind.

    I'm cool with Tim getting the gift.... He's a good guy. I just wish he was able to enjoy it. Unfortunately since Tim faced Manny EVERYONE saw what took place. A small percentage of fans saw a completely different fight than the over whelming majority.

    Crazy people have some of the same problem as the 7% who called the fight for Timmy....."Everyone else is wrong..... why can't anyone else see things my way".:think Not that I'm calling anyone crazy......but there are similarities.

    The overwhelming majority refuses to look at facts they rather live in a lie for them its a more comforting place to be rather than to look at the truth.

    Nobody is saying Pacquiao does not have a case here, what we have been saying is that this was a close very close fight and there is an argument here for Tim Bradley.

    those who reject that notion are simply not fans of Boxing, they are fans of Manny Pacquiao especially those who come here and say "I was routing for Tim Bradley But"
