Who knows, maybe Pacquiao "lost" on purpose so that the matchup between him and Mayweather will now be possible.
The announcers were saying that this would actually be tougher now for some reason that eluded me. I believe they also said Mayweather would now fight Bradley.
I'm a complete novice to how boxing works, and from a novice's perspective, it wasn't absolutely clear to me that pacman dominated the fight. I could see how he had stronger hits on Bradley, and MAYBE how he had cleaner shots. But overall, just from the lay person's view, Bradley was definitely taking more shots at pacman.
HBO's announcers also clearly favored pacman in the announcing, always highlighting his hits while downplaying Bradley's hits. They clearly had a bias for pacman.
I dunno how the punch scoring works (software or human tallying) but if the stats that HBO put up were accurate, then I don't see how the judges could have voted for Bradley. And if that tally is accurate, why rely on judges at all? Why not just use those numbers to determine the outcome, especially if it is by software.
Anyways, personally a pacman fan and didn't even know who Bradley was before this fight. Just giving my 2 cents. Also not well versed enough to say whether or not pacman was robbed.
They should just go to sudden death like in Hockey and have a punch-out. Last man standing wins.
