    i agree with him, i had it a close fight , this whole blowout pac won every rd is just not true not sure about pac landing that many power punchs either bradley didn't have much damage so either he didn't land that many or his power is overrated. I remember thinking as the fight went on that tim was making him miss alot

    People should feel a bit sorry for Bradley, as he’s not responsible for the official scoring of the bout. However, while he has every right to stand up for himself, it seems he wants to go to war against the majority view, rather than just say, “…the decision is made and any dispute will be resolved in the rematch. Until then, the belt stays with me.” Why not leave it at that?

    Bradley deserves credit for going the 12 rounds and making a fight of it but he might have wanted to position himself a little more favourably in the eyes of the media, boxers and fans, who feel that he lost.

    In some reports I’ve read and interviews I’ve heard, Bradley has been explicit about the rounds he thinks were close and those he won. He has also used the term “dominated” to describe his control of the fight from round seven onwards. Worse still, he has tried to justify the decision by using the pre-fight expectations as a benchmark, i.e. “[Pacquaio] was supposed to knock me out.”

    Every time he gives his own detailed account of the fight, with such detail, he’s providing the ‘majority’ with ammunition.

    Bradley telling the truth.
    He won the fight. I sent the dude an email telling him he is the champ, and he actually wrote me back saying thanks. Class dude all the way around and deserving champ.

    In the long run all this controversy will harm no one but Bradley, too much worldwide media has spread the news of his tainted victory.

    Athletes of all sports tweeted their views, which lead to basketball/baseball/football fans, who don't even watch Boxing, curious as to what happened. Rappers and Singers tweeted also, younger generation gets exposed to the situation of last Sat night. Even celebs and politicians have gone on record and video expressing their disbelief at the decision.

    "Manny Pacquiao was robbed!"
    "Conspiracy in Las Vegas!"
    "Bradley wins controversial bout!"
    "Investigation into Pacquiao/Bradley results is called for!"
    etc,etc,etc

    From kids to housewives to retirees, they've been exposed to those headlines. They know the situation. If the common reaction of "I am never watching boxing again!" is made into reality and boxing does fade away worse than it already is, who do you think will get blame for this? There's only 1 face the majority public see as the bad guy in all this. Too many people know for the world to ever forget.

    Till the day he dies Bradley will forever be haunted by this, that's his curse now.

    He has to deal with it.

    I never once mentioned the word "Watched" in my post, nor "Viewed" or "Saw" or anything about watching the fight.

    What does the PPV buys have anything to do with what people Tweeted on Twitter? Or posted on Facebook? Or gossiped in the break room? Or read in the newspaper?

    Learn what social media is.
    Learn to read before you post.

    I'm sorry, but this "watch it with the sound of" **** is ******ed and it needs to stop. Grown men don't need to turn the sound of.

    1) The almost unanimous verdict of writers ringside is that this was a robbery. They don't have the HBO commentary.

    2) The International Broadcast had Bradley winning. A huge number of people you are talking to watched that broadcast. They don't all think Bradley won because of the broadcast and their being adults and that.

    3) A lot of people who watched the stream were watching a Russian broadcast.

    Hiding behind "HBO did it" is stupid because HBO only broadcasts to Americans.

    But either way, putting the sound of is ******ed. Surely to god you don't think people are scoring rounds for Bradley then going "HBO says Pacquiao! I'll score the other way!" A tiny minority in a few rounds maybe, but no. Furthermore, the sound of punches going in is an assistance to scoring. Finally, HBO's panel is comprised of boxing people. You don't like their card, but the majority, the overwhelming majority, did.

    Maybe you need to be watching with the sound on.

    pac won clearly. people shouldn't be harassing tim though, the judging wasn't his fault. and yes, he'd be best to just act professional and move on with whatever transpires.
