I thought it would be unanimous here as to the fact that Pacquiao won, but I guess that's not the case. Regardless of how ludicruous it may seem, some people thought it was a close fight and that Bradley may have won.

But this just emphasizes the problem. Opinions are so far-ranging in major fights sometimes, that it makes for lousy, controversial decisions. The major network commentators are also becoming more and more vocal in their dislike of some of these decisions.

The fact is nobody wins here. Boxing is the ultimate loser. Who wants to continue following a sport where after 12 rounds of battle, we have to be subjected to the judges' whim? Where the possibility of incompetence and corruption is on everyone's mind? Who wants to continue to see fights after seeing something like tonight?

Attempts have been made to make judging more objective, such as the CompuBox numbers. Both even those are dependent on input based on human observation. And yet we continue to have extremely controversial decisions.

What irks me is that no one within the sport and with any power is doing a damn thing to try to rectify the situation. It's not like boxing is enjoying a huge amount of popularity right now. This sort of shit makes it worse.
