Boxing is this art of too hit, and not be hit, I think Brad did that better. Pac looked amatuer and wild at times and only fought for the last minute of every round.

While everyone seems to have Bradley winning between 1 and 5 rounds, which shows how close some of the round were (and I can see a point for any score between that, I give him 3 maybe 4), the disgrace is the fact that not a single person I have seen can come up with Bradley winning 7 rounds, because he simply didn't, not even near.

A few things annoyed me - firstly after about 3/4 rounds I started thinking to myself "why is Pacquiao carrying this guy?" Just get him out of there, shut up the doubters and go home early. The Pacquiao of old would have knocked him clean out ala Ricky Hatton. Instead he decided to take no risks and just cruise, even letting Bradley win the late rounds. He could have quite easily pitched a shut out. In the later rounds which Bradley took, Bradley did next to nothing, but Pacquiao somehow managed to do less. He obviously thought (like everyone else) the fight was wrapped up.

The other thing that annoyed me was post fight. The way Bradley went from limping around, playing on his foot injury (I actually thought there was another "toe" excuse coming up!) to running and jumping on the ring post celebrating like he was never in doubt he'd won, was just plain embarrassing.

Lastly, I was so sure of the result I wasn't even going to stay up to watch the decision. But intrigue of by how many rounds they would score it for Manny (off the back of the Marquez debacle) took over me and I watched. After seeing that and being so shocked/disgusted I couldn't go back to sleep, and didn't until last night, so this morning I am officially fvcked

Thanks boxing!

First time round I had it roughly 117-111 but on second viewing I think 115-113 was probably a fairer reflection.
Still a robbery though...

How on earth you get a a split decison win for Bradley, i do not know. There is a case for saying that Bradley won the 11th and 12th rounds and possibly, just possibly drew the 10th and definately won the 9th, but that's it. It took him seven rounds to realise and deal with Pacquaio's power and only in the last three rounds did he start to use tactics that should have been used from the opening bell. Most of Bradley's shots were landing on Pacquaio's gloves and when Bradley did have some success, he was equalled by Pacquaio, but most of all Bradley was out gunned for 75% of the fight. I have watched fights and seen bad decisions so often now, that it has totally spoiled my interest in the sport. The last bad one was Marquez being denied a victory over Pacquaio, so maybe they tried to equal that up with this fight. Even if you did have the fight closer than say Harold Letterman and had it by say two or three rounds, then i'm pretty sure most people would have given the fight to Pacquaio. When i heard that first 115-113, i thought " Oh dear......." and then when Bradley got a 115-113 i was shaking my head, because i just knew that the decision was going to go to Bradley. Having witnessed this type of thing so many times in recent years and with my interest in the sport waining anyway, this fight was the last straw for me. The sport is bent, pure and simple, whether you want to blame incompeteant judges or not, the sport stinks to high heaven. I didn't even want Pacquaio to win, but i am a fair judge when it comes to scoring fights and this was another travesty. That's it for me, i'm done, just totally fed up of watching arseholes fuk up a sport i once loved........Goodnight !!

Ps For what it's worth Mayweather will beat both Bradley and Pacquaio with ease.

Roger and OUT
