Judge Jerry Roth had it 115-113 for Pacquiao, but C.J. Ross and Duane Ford both scored it 115-113 for Bradley, a junior welterweight titlist who moved up to challenge Pacquiao in his fourth title defense.

 

ESPN.com had it 119-109 for Pacquiao. HBO's unofficial judge, Harold Lederman, also had it 119-109 for Pacquiao, meaning he gave Bradley only one round. Most ringside media also scored it clearly for Pacquiao.

 

Yahoo! Sports scored it 117-111 for Pacquiao, the same margin as Tim Dahlberg of the Associated Press and Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Dan Rafael of ESPN had it 118-110 for Pacquiao.

 

 

lol

 

even figure skating thinks this judging was shameful.

Boxing is on its last leg. Very few fighters left that are in their prime and have established a name for themselves. The few worth seeing won't/can't fight the most logical of opponents.

 

To turn around and make a mockery of everyone's PPV purchases isn't going to promote the sport in the slightest.

Boxing was only ever halfway watchable when there were dominant heavy weights. When the best the sport have to offer are 5'4" 130 pounders...YAAAAAAWWWWWNNNN

I don't know, some of those lighter weight classes have produced really watchable stuff, like Gatti / Ward & such.

 

I loved the great heavyweight era like just about everyone who enjoys boxing. I never really liked the idea of big-bash PPV events though. But I used to pay for them anyway. I can't remember what finally caused me to throw in the towel. Might have been Tyson/Holyfield II

Middleweight fights were awesome back in the day with Sugar Ray, Duran, Hearns, etc.

This. MMA has replaced the niche that boxing once filled.

Just can't get into it. Usually can't get through more than a few minutes & I'm reaching for the remote.

They need to find a way to mix boxing, and horseracing. Apart, they both suck. Together, they could be something spectacular!
