F--- boxing

I'd still rather watch it than UFC/MMA. We know who won the fight.

BTW, any credibility Max Kellerman had is slipping away with each word leaving his mouth.

 

All three cards 115-113 ... two Bradley, one Pacquiao.

 

Pacquiao did coast through rounds 8-11, but he kicked ass rounds 2-7.

 

And so it has come to this.
The most eagerly-awaited fight in boxing
One guy is in jail, another was just upset for the WBO title

 

Mario Lopez was worse. "Congratulations on a wonderful fight champ," he says to Pacquiao. Seriously?

 

Meh. He would have said that if Manny had gotten decked in Round 1. They love saying "champ."

 

And I thought MLB umpiring was awful?

 

Things like this are why I used to like boxing more than I do now. I really want to like boxing and I'm a big MMA fan, but when decisions like this come down, it just leaves me shaking my head and wondering what happened to what the sport used to be.

 

I've been hearing people say this shit since the early 80s, and usually with this tone like it's something new. Sorry, boxing's always been hopelessly corrupt. Is it worse now than other eras, I don't know. It's not as popular, but that doesn't mean it was cleaner before. There is no "what the sport used to be" in boxing if you're talking about an absence of these moments.

 

Not that Pacquiao-Mayweather is ever going to happen, but could we see Mayweather-Bradley soon as possible after Mayweater gets sprung, then, if Mayweather wins, finally Pacquiao-Mayweather, promoted around a "Manny tries to get back what he was robbed of" promotion? Or does Pacquiao run back to the Phillipine statehouse to do the people's work?

 

You may have to see Bradley-Pacquiao again first.

 

Ken Norton can relate.
