He fought his ass off, possibly injured for much of the fight, and was given the decision. I thought he clearly lost, but to hold it against him for not saying as much is just being spiteful and childish. Bradley getting the nod has nothing to do with him as a fighter or a person, nor does the rematch not happening as seems likely now. I say let him get on with his next fight and prove himself that way, for christs sake.
I think that Bradley is not getting any recognition for this fight due to the controversy, it is not his fault. If Pacquiao had won i wouldn't have been fussed either. IMO it was a close fight and i saw a very different Pacman to the one i have seen pre Marquez 3. The rematch should be made, but i believe Pacquiao is more than a little worried about a similar result next time around? If he fights Marquez and loses he can always say 3 out of 4 ain't bad and a Mayweather bout could still happen! He loses to Bradley again and the retirement village awaits. Bradley V Khan should be on the agenda if the Pacman wimps out on a rematch.
