  • Pacquiao-Bradley the new "WORST/BIGGEST robbery results in Sports History

    No doubt, the worst robbery results in sports history.


    Manny Pacquiao won the June 9 fight with Timothy Bradley, a 5-member panel of judges convened by World Boxing Organization president Francisco "Paco" Valcarel has ruled, according to www.ring.tv on Thursday (Manila time), June 21.

    All the 5 judges voted unanimously in favor of Pacquiao after watching the video of the fight.

    Valcarcel informed RingTV.com that his judges all had the matchup for Pacauiao, by scores of 117-111, 117-111, 118-110, 116-112, and115-113.

    Pacquiao said he was elated by the decision, describing it as proof of "justice." He told ANC, the ABS-CBN News Channel: "Nandiyan ang katarungan."

    He expressed the hope that the decision would bring back boxing fans' faith in the sport. He also thanked his fans for supporting him all throughout.

    Ringtv quoted Top Rank CEO Bob Arum as saying, "That's a Solomon-like conclusion. Paco is a good man, he really is. I have great respect for him and what he says... It's appropriate for him to make that final conclusion."

    On the night of the fight, Bradley (29-0, 12 knockouts) defeated Pacquiao (54-4-2, 38 KOs) by scores of 115-113 on the cards of official judges C.J. Ross and Duane Ford, while Jerry Roth had it the same way for Pacquiao.

    Valcarcel however conceded that the fight ended in a controversial result, and eventually decided to convene a panel of 5 judges to review the fight.

    Pacquiao and Bradley’s fight contract contains a rematch clause, scheduled for November 10. But Arum and other Top Rank officials have said that they will most likely not push through with it.

    It appears that Pacquiao may fight Mexican rival Juan Manuel Marquez for a fourth time this November, according to reports.
    According to fightnews.com, the Nevada State Attorney General has completed the probe of the judges that rendered the verdict in the Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley fight, and they “No evidence of wrong doing” from the judges. The results of their probe are being sent to Top Rank Promotions.


    Well, there it is. Pacquiao lost to Bradley and the results are going to stand. I guess all Pacquiao can do now is suck it up and accept the loss like most fighters do when they get beaten. Pacquiao can always try and avenge the defeat if he can talk his promoter Bob Arum into letting him take the rematch. Somehow I don’t see that happening. I figured this was going to be the results when Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum decided to have the fight results investigated. The fact of the matter is Pacquiao failed to fight hard enough through major portions of each round and would then come alive with 30 seconds left to try and win the round with a flurry.
    It’s an old veteran trick that aging fighters often use when they can no longer fight hard for the full three minutes of every round. This wasn’t lost on Bradley, who then focused on outworking Pacquiao like he’d been doing and then staying away from him in the last 30 seconds when Pacquiao would try and come on to win the round. It’s too bad Pacquiao didn’t make any adjustments by putting forth more of an effort in the earlier and middle parts of the round because he would have done a lot better had he done that.

    I'm a bit confused. Were the score by those 5 judges symbolic, will the official result stand(meaning the decision won't be revoked)?
