    My apologies. I didn't realize you were on an iphone.

    But my point remains.

    Bradley lost the fight, plain and simple. Among the experts at ringside, 121 scored the bout for Pacquiao, 1 scored the bout a draw, and 1 scored the bout for Bradley.

    Timothy Bradley stated after the fight that he would go home and watch it to see if he'd won .

    Andre Ward, Tm's close friend and Olympic team-mate:

    "It was a ridiculous decision, Bradley lost the majority of the rounds. If it was me personally, I would admit defeat and say, 'Here's your belt back."

    There was nothing there, nothing to suggest it was even close," Ward said. "If you were being generous, extremely generous, maybe you could give Tim four rounds and he loses 8-4. I love Tim, he is a friend of mine, but he has to know that he lost that fight."

    And numerous other boxers and experts said similar.



    There was simply no need for a rematch.

    JMM, on the other hand, clearly deserved another kick at the cat. And there was far more money to be made off a JMM bout.

    And so that's what happened, and it was the best fight so far of the Pac-JMM 'quadrology.'

    Fair enough I'm actually mad i spent this much time defending Bradley because I've said a number of time i don't think either deserved to be called a winner in that fight.

    As far as marquez is concerned I'm not questioning he was most deserving, out of the three fighter mentioned i actually like marquez an was happy he got the result he wanted but if it was about marquez deserving a fight it wouldn't have been 5 years between the first two fights and another 4 years between the second and third.

    Last thing Pacquiao and top rank were going on all last year about not rematching Bradley but after seeing him look bad in his last fight now they want him next, which was interesting to me when I heard it because it falls right in line with Pacquiao fighting guys coming of shitty performances.

    he already toyed with bradley and pretty much stopped boxing as he knew the fight was in the books unless he were to get knocked out...was rigged all together

    fighting jmm is the way to go...its always a good fight and he toyed with bradley despite bradley getting the rigged decision
