http://www.boxing.com/banish_those_bradley_blues_five_reasons_to_smile.html Its been a hard weekyear? decade?to be a boxing fan, not least for Timothy Bradley himself. Rapidly and undeservedly becoming the villain in the piece due to his dogged but understandable determination to insist that he won a fight we all know he lost, the new WBO welterweight champion of the world is feeling it. I am sick of it. I just want to fight the best fights out there for me and my family and the fans out there. I am at the point where I am losing my love for boxing. Tim, we know how you feel. But it isnt all bad. Whats to love about a sport that has let down so many fans this week and perhaps worse than that, the fighters themselves? Plenty. Today, right now, this minute, we are in love with a sport awash with good news, good people, and plenty to look forwards to. So put your feet up, relax, and forget about the failed drugs tests, the cheats, the horrible decisions, the mismatches and, my favorite, the superfights that just wont happen. Here are five reasons to smile.
BRADLEY'S REAL COLORS FINALLY SHOWED AFTER THE FIGHT. FIRST HE TOLD ARUM THAT HE TRIED BUT COULDN'T BEAT MANNY. ONCE THE DECISION WAS ANNOUNCED, HE AND HIS TRAINER BEGAN PUTTING UP THIS FRONT, WHICH THEY KNOW DAMN WELL HE LOST THE FIGHT. HE COMES OUT ON SOME DAMN WHEELCHAIR, BUT HE FOUGHT FOR 12 ROUNDS, AND NO ONE NOTICED A THING. HE'S A FAKE ASS FOOL. HE HAD US ALL BELIEVE HE WAS AN HONEST, CARING, RESPECTFUL PERSON, BUT HE FOOLED US ALL. BRADLEY SHOULD GIVE THE BELT BACK AND LET PEOPLE KNOW HE DIDN'T FEEL HE WON THE FIGHT OR ELSE EVERYONE WILL CONTINUE TO LOSE RESPECT. HE DIDN'T EARN IT, THE JUDGES GAVE IT TO HIM. LOOK AT PACQUIAO, HE'S GETTING MORE FAN FARE AND LOVE FROM PEOPLE BECAUSE OF HIS CHARACTER AND HOW HEHANDLED THIS ATROCIOUS DECISION. MANNY IS A HUMBLE, RESPECTFUL, CARING AND HONEST PERSON THAT HAPPENS TO BE A GREAT BOXER. HE WILL BE LOVED FOR YEARS TO COME, AND HE CAN LIVE WITH HIMSELF. BRADLEY IS GOING TO ROT AWAY BECAUSE CARRYING THE GUILT OF THIS WRONGFUL DECISION WILL EAT HIM ALIVE. IS HE REALLY CELEBRATING THIS FAKE WIN? TOO BAD HE IS A DESPARATE MAN THAT HE HAS TO FOOL HIMSELF. MANNY PACQUIAO IS CLASS ALL THE WAY AROUND. CHAVEZ, LEONARD, WARD, DONAIRE, ARCE, FOREMAN, HOLMES, HAGLER AND OTHER GREAT FIGHTERS SAW THE SAME FIGHT AS THE GENERAL PUBLIC, AND THEY ALSO THOUGHT THAT MANNY WON. SO, WHO'S RIGHT? BRADLEY, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED AND EMBARRASSED FOR THE WAY YOU'RE ACTING. GROW UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING. YOUR REPUTATION IS SLOWLY BEING RUINED EVERY TIME YOU TRY AND TELL PEOPLE YOU WON THE FIGHT. MANNY HAS THE PEOPLES CHAMPION BELT. YOU HAVE NOTHING.:happy:happy:happy:happy:happy:happy:happy:happy:happy
