    Finally there will be a Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight, lol.

    Seriously, there is no way that Bradley won. Pacquiao dominated.

    Pacquiao let too many rounds be close. He would put in a hard round and win it, then coast for the next until the last 30s. The judges were scoring 3m rounds not 30s rounds. I thought the fight would be tight at the end and Manny didn't close it out at all. Not shocked by the decision but a bit surprised since the slant tends to go towards the champ. We'll be seeing this fight again in about six months, I suppose.

    excuse the ignorance of my question to those who follow boxing, but is David Stern the commissioner in that sport too?

    You guys must have watched Sly's link. On HCP's link, the points were constantly shown, so I knew Bradley had double the points from the early rounds.

    Huh? Sly replaced links with XXX.

    That voluminously says that Bradley's points came from a high volume of ineffective punches. I said it concisely thus:

    That wasn't the score you saw on the screen. That was the Compubox stats. Yes, Bradley threw more punches but Pacquiao landed more punches and the punches that Pacquiao landed did much more damage.

    ESPN.com had Manny winning 119/109
    Associated Press 117/111
    Bradley apologized to Arum saying "' did my best but I just couldn't beat this guy'.
    Bradley saying to Kellerman. 'I have to go look at the tape to see if I won the fight.
    Bradley's corner had the fight 8/4 Manny
    Teddy Atlas - Who is not a PAC fan says "Decision is a sign of corruption in boxing"
    HBO panel scored it 11/1 Manny
    It wasn't Bradley that shocked the world, it was the judges.
