I got feeling Bob Arum's doing all He can avoid the Mayweather fight... Espec after his comments:

'This is A death knell for boxing, and Im going to make A ton of money on the rematch'

Come on, the most popular champion on the planet, loses A fight on points that He won by landslide... Usually the challenger loses A dodgy decision to the champion, not the other way round!

No doubt in my mind Arum paid off the judges, he had the same mongy judge that gave Rios a 10-8 round against Abril, think his name is Roth.

I thought Bradley won the fight. I had it a draw (or maybe Bradley by one)... I pretty much watched the fight with the sound off which helped.

Ive been saying for a while that the fight was impossible to predict due to the "Arum" factor.

I said yesterday that Arum may well decide to back the '0'.... Judging by his post fight comments, it seems that was indeed the case.

I don't believe the commentators had it that wrong, going by what most ringsiders felt.

Even if the judges decisions were completely legit, it's fucked up that a judge that submits one of the worst scorecards of the year (Rios 116-112 Abril), then gets to vote on one of the biggest fights of the year.

Jerry Roth might have been the one judge that gave Pacquiao the fight, but him just being on the panel shows how corrupt it likely was.

this roth guy gonna have to do a eugenia williams and change his name for future bouts lol i pretty sure she judges under a different name now...

@ macho

i respect your opinion, but how on earth your saw bradley winning? haha

 

[NoMas]

just had a google, seems the internet is full people with the view that arum had this fixed... pac-mans old promoter must have a crystal ball, because he called this happening BEFORE the fight lol

Were you on the juice last night mate?

Why would he want Pac to lose? I don't think there will be much interest in a rematch, if Pac had won the fighting JMM again would have been a bigger PPV fight.

Yup, I called a draw. Hell of a lot of crowd cheering for punches that simply weren't landing on Bradley.

Pac had a purple patch through rounds 3 to 6, but seemed to lose steam as the fight wore on and I gave Bradley 3 consecutive rounds through 8 to 10. A lot of really close rounds elsewhere, I think a draw would have been the fair call.

 

[scrappylinks]

How long does Manny have left in his top rank deal? It'd be good if he could get out of it. He'd be able to fight Floyd without Arum there putting up road blocks and no one wants to see the Bradley rematch.

thats why, theres only floyd left for pac to fight... if pac won, then there would be interest in a rematch, and aslong bob arum can help it, there is not gonna be pac v mayweather fight... now that bradley has won, there has to be a rematch, bob owns both fighters, and pac who usually demands alot of money for his fights anyways, defo wont be getting as big a share of the proceeds as he usually does...

:lol: You wouldn't know that Arum is also meant to be Bradley's promoter..

 

[Teeto]

Huh?

You thought Bradley won the fight, you thought it was a draw AND you thought the decision was made by Arum?

Say whaaaaaaaa

what's he supposed to say? I thought Bradley won cos I'm his promoter too?

Haha,

I had it a draw, but there was a round (might be the 7th) that I was really unsure.... Kinda had it for Bradley but then kept changing my mind. Either way it was a draw or a narrow Bradley win.

Regarding Arum, I'm talking about pre-fight. I was certain it would go to points, and I was saying that the winner had already been predetermined by Arum

No mate. Scoring is subjective.

I watched the last half of the fight with pretty much zero commentary. I thought Pac switched off & allowed Bradley to nick the late rounds. When I watched the reply the commentators seem to ignore Bradleys work because he lacks pop... That's nonsense.

Early on, it seemed that PAC could hurt Bradley at will,(& stop him at any time.) - this is what I feel is skewing people's views of the fight. PAC totally switched off & started to cruise. It's as if he couldn't pull the trigger..... Just because he could have won the fight, doesn't mean he did.

 

[Nyanners :sad5]

Either way it was a draw or a narrow Bradley win.

...If those are the only conclusions you can draw, you are utterly, utterly, wrong.
