Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley Jr. RbR!!!

Don't ever underestimate GBP's influence in this. With all the doping allegations floating around, its own impropriety, the desperate dislike for TR and co, and its well-documented influence over Keith Kizer and the rest of the corrupt NSAC, I wouldn't be surprised if they had a nod and a wink.

 

Lets put it straight first, I think it was a bad decision. But there are some fights where you can't even find a reason that the judges went that way. But if you look to be forcing the fight (Williams-Lara?), which Bradley did for large parts, there is always a reason the judges may be swayed towards you. I don't like that, but it's the truth, and sometimes it's more important than landing the clean or hard shots. Like I say, I've read and heard judges say they divide a round into 3 one minute chunks. If you give away the first two, you will be having trouble. Then maybe you have the factor where one guy's doing better than you expected, that could be an influencing factor. The rounds Pacquiao dominated start to finish were minimal.

It's not a Helenius-Chisora type robbery IMO.
