    Hopefully nothing will come or else a new trend will start in boxing after dubious decisions have been taken. Commissions analysing judges scores and picked by the Athletic Commissions and reversing results.

    Wow, those ****ing judges were 74 and 71 yrs old! Would you drive your card next to a 74 yr old? Hahah. Now would you have them judge a critical match? Rofl.

    Nothing. Because that was a tough fight to score. If they had 10 competent judges score it, there would be all kinds of ****ed up scores. Nothing will come of this.

    A "NC"...on what grounds? Clearlly there was a contest, a contest that went all 12 rounds, and a contest that by the rules of boxing resulted in a winner. This would be the most idiotic **** imaginable.

    What's a "bad" decision, the very idea is relative to YOU and YOUR perspective...problem is you aren't a professional boxing judge, hence your opinion doesn't really mean **** in the grand scheme of things. So because I personally believe a decision sucks, then it should be reviewed? What about half the people feel the decision sucked...what percentage of people, who is polled, I mean this could go on and on. Bottom line its a stupid suggestion and overturning decisions in boxing would kill the sport period.

    I think the point everyone is missing is this is not Lara or some other boxing name known in the boxing world.

    What happened is unprecedented. You have one of the biggest stars in all of sports held up and robbed in broad daylight for the whole world to see. This looks horrible when you consider Pac (also Floyd) is the face of boxing to the general public not just hardcore boxing fans.

    Sure robberies happend regularly. They don't happen to guy like Pac without making the sport look absolutely pathetic. Is Boxing the WWE, where the winner is determined prior to the bout starting? Boxing through the WBO needs to step up and stop the disgrace.

    This won't set a precedent because most of the time it is just the boxing world following, this time the whole sports world is following and laughing at the disgusting corruption in the sport.

    I've said this many times now. I find it easier to judge fights in small venues where I'm closer to the action than on TV so I cut the judges as much slack as I can.

    Yeah, even though Pac should have won, somehow I don't want the decision to be reversed. It sets a bad precedent and you'll start having fighters claiming left and right that a decision should be reversed for them.

    A better solution would be to punish the judges IF the WBO decides it was fixed or that the judging truly was terrible. This at least would make the judges accountable and hopefully prevent them from doing something like this again.

    Not a "NC", a "ND" though uncommon these days, on the grounds that people seem to be claiming- that the decision result was bad and instead change it to no one being the winner. You're isolating a very minor point in my post that's not the point

    I go along with most of the members, TV viewers and even people that went there to the Garden have no powers and neither have these promoters and their attorneys to overturn a result how unfair it may look to have been. The WBO was not even considered some years ago and now that it has major titles, they can't vacate a title or take it after a man has fought twelve rounds and strectched himself in the championship rounds with a swollen ankle all fight long... What is taking place is a proof of how promotional groups and the media control this **** but they can't, they shouldn't be able to.

    Thats the most they can do is mandate a rematch, they can not over turn the decision.
    But we already have a rematch agreed to, and honestly I would like to see it simply to clear Bradleys name, with two healthy feet Bradley will be able to do much more than he was able to.

    as a fight fan I am disgusted at the Biased Commentary, the misleading of the fight by HBO. and the Biased Media who simply awarded Pacquiao rounds he really did not win.

    As a fight fan we love to see fighters over come adversity, Bradley could have quit with a broken left foot and a sprained right ankle but he didnt he found a way to win under those circumstances and yet because he didnt beat the breaks off Pacquiao everybody is crying Robbery.

    I am sorry but I do not see the fight that way, and I highley doubt many of you watched this fight on a regular PPV stream I am willing to bet that the majority of you here, saw this fight on an illegal stream with a choppy feed.

    and lets be honest Pacquiao fans cant score fights to save their ****ing lives.

    His foot wasn't broken. X-rays were negative. Dunkin was full of crap. He tried to claim there are OVER 700 bones in the human foot, some to small to see. Fact, an adult has 206/7 bones total. Bradley must have a triplets living in his feet. Dunkin also claimed the doctor said they would need an MRI. Again, lie. MRI is for soft tissue injury, not bones. X-rays are for bones and they were negative as I already said. Was his foot hurt? Yeah, we over heard the corner talk. Are they intentionally blowing it out of proportion? :yep

    It still looked like a fookin' grape fruit on the side of his foot Herm. :!::lol:

    That's a fairly serious handi-cap to fist fight for over 30 minutes with Manny Pac Man Pacquiao. :deal
