    Also helps that it leads fans to resent the fighter, meaning they will watch with the hope that the fighter loses

    This and then come up with a BS theory on why that fighter deserved the stolen 'W' anyway.

    Tim Bradley was gifted a decision against Pac & that didnt really do him any favours. Most observers remember how that fight went down!!!

    This / thread.

    That's why Floyd carries himself as undefeated but Castillo clearly tapped that ass in the first fight.

    Same as Bradley, vs Pac / povod. Both pushed his **** in and sent him home in an ambulance but man still carries on undefeated.

    It's about money baby!

    Do you think they'd be able to sell "Journeyman Broner v Journeyman Vincente Rodriguez" as a world title bout? :think

    Exactly. After a week it turns into a real win.

    Why wouldn't you score the first round 10-8.

    Bradley was floored in the first round hard!

    I scored for Bradley btw.
