Who really WON...?

Unread postby Ambit_Energy on Fri Jun 22, 2012 5:41 pm

There are a lot of characters involved in this interesting story of drama and “controversy”. The key is to identify those that stand to gain and those that do not stand to gain from a rematch with Pacquiao and Bradley. People like Bob Arum, Tim Bradley, Manny Pacquiao and HBO stand to gain from the rematch. However, the people who do not stand to gain are the judges. I imagine that life will become more difficult for the judges due to ridicule and promoters using the decision to promote the rematch by leveraging “controversy”. This was a close fight and when fights are close, they can go either way.

I watched the fight very closely and I think PackMan was robbed and it wasn't that close to go either way...in my opinion.

boxing, at this point, is rigged nonsense. I did not think the fight was all that controversial but his last one sure was. They handed him that win in a fight he clearly lost.
