    Bradley should have given the belt and announce victory to paquiao right after the decision.

    PAc Bradley is a worse decision than DLH Sturm.

    Sturm made a career out of winning decisions he didn't deserve. He owes DLH for teaching him that :yep

    Exactly, last nights farce wasn't even close. Bradley got schooled.

    Both fights were close IMO. Bradley won at least four rounds. In some rounds Manny only came on late. Judges who really like ring generalship may have got the impression from ringside that Bradley took some of those rounds.

    Saying that, giving the 5th to Tim is ******ed beyond belief.

    This should not take away from the fact Manny's best attribute: punch output down the stretch, isn't there anymore. He's past his best, and regardless of whether or not he deserved the decision, he just isn't hitting top form anymore, he's sloppier whilst trying to be more controlled IMO. He doesn't let his hands go enough.

    He's had a fair few fights by the standards of quite a few era's. He cut a lot of weight throughout his career, took a lot of shots and has faced the best level of opposition of the modern era (post-Oscar fighters anyway) and he just isn't there anymore. It happens. The Internet era will make more of it than probably should be, but they'll figure it out in the end.

    I can at most give Bradley four rounds. I actually thought Pac looked good though I agree he seemed to tire down the stretch but then he didn't look as cut as he normally does either.
