by a long shot. I've been a fight fan for a lot of years now and I'm effing disgusted. Stunningly unbelievable. Boxing just keeps becoming more of a joke by the day...

I really want to hear how the judges justified their ruling. This one wasn't even close!

my buddy, who is the biggest pacman hater of all time to the point that he throws logic out of the window even had it 118-110 pacquiao

I watched the fight as well. The fix was in. Found out from another thread that Bill Simmons said a ton of late money starting at 2pm today for Bradley came in.

If the fight was closer such as when he fought Margurito last time then there wouldn't be such a big deal but the problem was that this fight was not even close. Pacquio won by at least 6 points and that is being generous to Bradley. That is why this fix is one of the worst jobs I have ever seen in American sports.

a fix is the only way to explain a reason behind those scorecards. I'm still jaw-droppingly stunned 2 hours later.

Absolutely ridiculous!

Arum is absolutely pissed off (can't really be too disappointed, though), and even Bradley seems a little unconvinced by the scorecards.

Looking forward to the rematch!

Arum represents both of the fighters and even admitted he is looking forward to a big payday for the rematch.

"I'll make a lot of money off the rematch, but this was outrageous," Arum said.

NO ONE SHOULD BUY THE PPV!

Whoever fixed this fight made a TON of money tonight.

I heard Sandusky is now trying to get his trial to take place in Vegas

This probably takes a big hit out OD the potential pac mayweather fight

Absolutely ridiculous!

Looking forward to the rematch!

I wonder why they keep fixing fights? Oh yeah! Cuz you'll still pay for it.

I don't think I've ever paid to watch a fight.

Big time fix! You knew it was going to be questionable when they put in that worthless female judge.

Joke

Boxing, Vegas, corruption. That's a first.

The conspiracy theorists say it was Arum/TopRank's way of sending a message to Pacman, whose contract will be ending soon.

Fresh losses, legit or not, will make it harder for him to negotiate a Mayweather fight in the future.

Worst I've ever seen was roy jones getting robbed at the olympics.

does anybody think there's anything to these conspiracy theories?

I'll never bet on a fight again, unless BIG money comes in late. I'll be on that side.

^ exactly.

The WBO announced Wednesday that it will review Timothy Bradley's controversial victory over Manny Pacquiao in Saturday's welterweight championship fight.

quote:

He said that the committee "will meet soon" and "will examine (the fight) with five recognized international judges to evaluate the video of the match and agree to what emerges."

"I want to clarify that in no way does this say we are doubting the capacity of these judges, which we consider as honest and competent judges," Valcarcel said.

Uuuummm??? okay!

Sign if you think this decision is a travesty and damaging to the sport

Just an update here. The WBO took a video review with 5 top judges, who all scored the bout dramatically to Pacman (one had it at 115-113 Pac, but all others had it big to Pac). They are requesting a rematch for the integrity of their WBO belt, but if Arum refuses, then they'll force one. I think this is unprecedented. Of course, both fighters could agree that they don't care about the WBO belt, but I don't see that happening.
