Time to open up a can of worms....has anyone seen this video yet?
Watch it tell me what you think
Well upon first viewing I thought manny dominated and was robbed, but dont think that at all anymore actually and see a legit case for bradley. Pac was given far to much credit and many times when I watched it the first time I thought punches were landing by pac and doing quality work but bradley was bobbing and weaving to miss the shots and not being moved by them. Bradley takes 1 2 3 for me, hell didnt think you could give him the 5th but a close round and then 3 of the last four could go to him. Pac just wasnt doing enough in some of these rounds...so no robbery here for me any longer.
But you have to believe in judges. At least they saw the truth beyond the setting. Pactards are just in agony because Pac couldn't reach Bradley's chin for the ko. You gotta admit that both didn't land any effective head-punches, but scored bigtime in the body-section. Bradley just did a perfect job by collecting those points.

"Are you sure you're a real person? " is a very philosophically loaded and complex, fascinating question. It could possibly be the greatest question I have been asked whilst contributing to this great forum. That it should be voiced by someone calling themselves GOAT just adds a whole new layer of unsettling gravitas to it.
It deserves a thread at least on another board and is much more interesting than the Bradley Pacquiao debacle now. I don't agree on the judges seeing the fight outside of the setting, because I still believe Bradley was even less effective than Pacquiao, and to skew it in his favour reveals a warped sense of impartiality. You are of course entitled to your opinion but I cannot agree. From a personal point of view I thought JMM beat Pacquiao more stylishly and beautifully, but Pacquiao styles aside, beat Bradley more demonstrably.
It has become quite clear that the Pac haters are a lot less subjective in judging the Bradley fight than what they claim the "Pactards" to be. Funny turn of events, if you ask me.
First, you've got 90% of the civilized world giving Pac the decision, from all sorts of differents forums. You've got the WBO, who went to the trouble of commissioning 5 pro boxing judges to "re-judge" the fight, with the results being completely in Pac's favor. These are not "Pactard" rantings. These are factual events.
But on the other hand, you've got these "so-called" objective fans on the forum, who are really Pac-haters masquerading as objective fans, who do nothing but bring up the Pac-Marquez fight(s). As if by some warped logic, their anger in seeing Pac getting those decisions translates into Bradley being the justified winner in THIS fight. Scary logic, if you ask me.
Then, in laughable fashion, they lash out at anyone and everyone who dares to think that Pac won..... labeling them "Pactards" and spewing insults and outlandish claims. Incredible.
Hey..... it it's really that important, then let's just say that Bradley won and the hell with it, ok?
(On a side note, and to show that I'M objective...... I don't dislike any of the fighters involved. I'm a huge JMM fan, so no story there. I also like Pac, but don't consider myself a "Pactard". I also like Bradley. He fought his heart out and gave 110%. What's not to like? Also, and for the record..... I'm totally against any notion that Bradley should give back the title given to him in the ring. It was a bad decision, but stripping Bradley makes for a dangerous precedent. I AM, however, in favor of an immediate rematch. I think Bradley himself would want it, just to clear his good name. Not that it was Bradley's fault. He only fought..... he didn't fuck up the decision.)
Carry on.
