Article on the Pac-Brad fight...In the past 100 years what decision was the worse tha

"It's not Tim's fault the judges gave him the decision," said Joel Diaz, Bradley's trainer. "All he did was get in there and fight."
The CompuBox punch count favored Pacquiao by a wide margin. CompuBox had Pacquiao connecting on 253 total punches – nearly 100 more than Bradley's 159. Pacquiao also landed 190 power punches to Bradley's 108.
"I did my best tonight, but my best wasn't good enough," said Pacquiao, who, according to Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, congratulated both Bradley and his father, Tim Sr., afterward and told them Bradley will make a great champion.
"Tonight, he never hurt me. I don't know what happened."
Bradley, asked if he was confident after the final bell that he won, didn't hesitate.
"Yeah, I told you I can," he said. "I was going into the last round and my corner was telling me I had to win the last couple of rounds to win the fight.
"Plain and simple. My corner felt like I was winning the fight, I was controlling the action. Manny fought in spurts, regardless of the punch stats. He missed a lot of shots, and a lot of shots everyone thought he was hitting me with. And he wasn't touching me. Look at my face. I'm still pretty clean."
Arum, the fight's promoter, came over to media row after the decision and said he had scored it 10 rounds to 2 for Pacquiao, and said even Bradley's manager, Cameron Dunkin, had it 8-4 for Pacquiao.

"We'll make a lot of money on the rematch, but this is (expletive) nuts. People don't even know what they're watching anymore. They're trying to kill boxing," the 80-year-old Arum said. "I don't think anything was happening here except these people don't know how to score. They really don't."
He said later that the "outcry worldwide, about this decision, will not be good for boxing."
Arum went on to say the decision was "not disgraceful, but ridiculous."
But he added that "The one thing I refuse to believe is that anything 'funny' is going on here. Betting, or anything like that. I don't believe it."
Arum did say he thought at least two of the judges were around his age (80) and said he speaks from experience when he says that's too old to be judging fights because their attention spans as they get older are not as good as they once were.
Diaz said after Bradley hurt his left ankle in the second round. he gave his fighter two options – either stop the fight immediately or continue. Bradley chose to soldier on.
He took a lot of punches, despite what his trainer said, and said he was hurt a couple times by Pacquiao's straight left hands.
"I didn't go down," Bradley said. "Most of his opponents go down or get hurt. I got hurt once in there where he came with a barrage of punches, but hey, I survived."
Pacquiao said he would have no problem agreeing to a rematch.
"No doubt," he said, adding that he would prefer to have the rematch in Las Vegas.
For Pacquiao, it was his first fight since his religious rebirth. After narrowly defeating Juan Manuel Marquez in November in a fight many in the media felt Marquez had won, Pacquiao said he gave up his vices and turned to the Bible.
He sold his casino in Manila, as well as his vast cockfighting operation. He said he had stopped drinking and womanizing.
Those closest to Pacquiao, 33, praised the first-term Filipino congressman for growing much closer to his wife and four children. Pacquiao even began to do daily Bible study with his wife, Jinkee, and others. Those in his entourage who disapproved of his conversion soon were gone.
This time, Jinkee and their children accompanied Pacquiao to the postfight press conference for the first time in recent memory.
Perhaps as a bad omen Saturday night, Pacquiao's favorite basketball team, the Boston Celtics, were eliminated by the Miami Heat from the NBA playoffs. Pacquiao watched the game before his fight.
Bradley earned the biggest payday of his career at $5 million, while Pacquiao was guaranteed $26 million, plus an upside from the pay-per-view revenue.
Bradley, 28, said all week he was going to shock the world. He even unveiled an oversized ticket during the final press conference that had Bradley-Pacquiao II written on it, a reference to a rematch after a Bradley victory. That was brought in during the postfight presser.
It appears that ticket is now worth holding on to.

 

Seamus, Ive been watching the sport since I was 5-6 yrs old and always loved it but I think I have to agree, I don't know what will draw my interest back into it but this was the worst I can remember and I have seen quite a few bad ones. I have to honestly say I liked and like Bradley but he was dominated. Bradley hung in there gamely but even in the 2 rds he may have won they were close. I don't think I can shell out 65 bucks anymore to watch this or listen to the BS.

I think anyone who cares should contact the Nevada State Boxing Commission, call or write...this one went just too far

You can watch a total domination these days and not know who the judges will pick....this fight was not a too close to call fight this was a respectable domination

 

Well Bradley has youth on his side and will be in a better position from the experience of this fight but by the way he was dominated I can not see him winning but I don't think I will pay for it because the judges may rob Pac again and Pac has so many other options he may Pac" it in
