MMA judging is inept.
Boxing judging is flat out fraudulent.

Dana is doing cartwheels right now.
yup, everyone here are complaining,
I dunno. It's not like Olympic boxing. Just tapping your opponent and not doing any damage shouldn't count for that much. Clearly Manny controlled the entire fight. Bradley didn't bother him, and Manny was able to do damage at will. One of these guys is waking up sore tomorrow, the other is Manny Pacquiao.
anything is possible at this point

I guess if Manny didn't want to fight Floyd the sneakiest way to get out of it would be to "lose".

This is why boxing sucks. The fight wasn't even close. I kept wondering why the fuck they were talking about 2 of the 3 referees being horrible. And once I heard the first score 115-112 I just had a bad feeling, because it was nowhere near that close.
Not looking forward to the ribbing from the uneducated among Floyd's fans. You'd think Pacquiao would have earned a little respect but then again this is boxing, lol. Nobody is gonna buy Bradley as a big sell after that fight.

Funny you should say this, my facebook feed is full of Filipinos saying it's time to burn shit. I live in Vegas.
Wouldn't it have been more efficient for him to actually 'lose' though?

Called it. Tbh I didn't score it for Pac but it serves him right for getting multiple gift decisions against Marquez. Karma's a bitch.
#RIPBoxing currently the #1 trending topic on Twitter. :jnc
Nah this reeks of Arum. He gave Bradley the decision even thought it was clear that Manny won. That's 1-2 more fights not against Mayweather.

You know, that's a good point. They talked about the judges too much early on.

The Marquez decisions were relatively close, this wasn't anywhere near close
lol. pretty much.
They have every right to complain, this was so blatant, Bob Arum is just having fun out there.
It's a work though!

Same here lol... I'm like even scared to even say shit. I'm like dead silent...
Oh and interesting https://twitter.com/sportsguy33/status/211687239913193473
I don't follow boxing lines, but i guess Bradley line change during the week. hmm......
don't follow boxing at all, or this match. But saw 10 minutes ago (as the fight was going on) and ESPN's unofficial score was Pac having a huge lead. Like winning every round besides the 1st type of lead.
Then I see this topic, and....sounds off!

Bullshit. There is no defense of what happened tonight
yep. shit was fixed in the beginning. i honestly wouldnt be surprised if the calf talk. and all that shit wasnt manufactured either as a fallback excuse
awful awful decision
the gods of our sport be lookin down from heaven like
Skipped the fight to watch the Stanley Cup Finals instead. Seems like I missed something.
Probably. On that note, I can't wait to check my Facebook and Twitter feeds.
I'm not even there, and I can feel the collective rage all the way here in Toronto. :lol

I had it 116:112 Pac. It wasn't the shutout the biased HBO crew wanted us to believe. I scored the last Pac v JMM wider than that btw.

That's not really that crazy. The big money fighters have their fight dates set up way ahead of time, before who they are fighting is even considered.
