Pacquiao beaten in controversial fight

it's clear that pacquiao wins,there will be no controversy or people will not react if the judges decision is clear,..something fishy going on..

well..

its gambling..

like tossing a coin..

Tigabaguio, please don't put your money on this poor man... it's just worthless! :D

PS Mike..

i'm a boxing fan..

i bet on any boxer whom i know can win..

i bet on dela hoya and miguel cotto during their match with manny.. and i did not yet decide whom to bet on Manny-Floid match, we don't even know you might bet on Manny against Floyd..

and if your a boxer Mike, i will bet my money on you if i think you can win the fight..

Well, go and tell your kabayan and not me.

Mike..

im not being selective here..

i did not say Timothy was favored coz hes american, not at all..

my argument concerns the judges, if proven guilty of conspiracy then they should jail them..

EXCLAMATION POINT!!!

His gloves were too heavy with the money stuffed in them, that is why he lost.

Tigabaguio, the whole world agrees that Pacquiao should have been declared the winner.

The whole world agrees with the idea that the boxing industry is corrupted.

Pernell Whitaker gave Julio Cesar Chávez an ass beating in 1993 and the fight was declared a draw (courtesy of Don King). That's it: a gringo was denied a big "W" in his records, where? in the US of A.

So let's please cut the conspiracy BS theory that Americans are favoured simply because they fight in their own country. Now you tell me who doesn't know squat about boxing?

PERIOD!

as you said it Padre! Are we ok now?

@ UKEng..

lol...

why went into politics???

we know he lost, its the judges who is the issue here..

@Mike..

2 NBA referees were jailed for 25 years for conspiracy..

lets just wait for the verdict of the investigation..

He lost why cant you guys accept that! 2 Judges scored for Bradley 1 for Pacquiao. It is a game of 12 rounds, yes he was good in few rounds but was not impressive at all for the duration of the Fight, especially round 12 he hardly threw a punch where as Bradley was pounding him with punches. Maybe he is getting old and needs to hang up his gloves and take the dirty game of Politics more seriously.

flor..

its no use to discuss this issue with someone not into boxing..

Right moza! that is exactly what I've been thinking.

Nothing good would come out of someone who is now into politics, especially in a place where corruption is spreaded like a cancer.

you've got a reliable source? Practicing WHAT? Be careful with your accusation!

Lets face it pacman is finished, he probably took bribes to throw the fight. Seems to be the way with filipino politicans and he was practising.

is an American? Is he, Mike?

TheMuskeeter..

same here..

but do we need to watch the rematch??

i guess not..

if paquiao wont floor Timothy im sure the judges will give the next match to paquiao..

its business, plain gambling, it no longer a sport..

I certainly believe that Pacquiao got robbed. This is totally different with his fight with Marquez. I think Marquez was the better boxer during their last bout. Both have thrown power punches. However, with the recent match between Manny and Timothy, it was not even a close match. It was clear that Manny stunned Timothy with his powerful left hook. You can see in Timothy's eyes a sense of fear when Manny started firing his combinations against Timothy. Sure a rematch is needed!

It was the other way around when Pacquiao won his controversial decision against Márquez... who to blame? The land of the freeeeeeee! LOL!

flor1212 bad loser! lol

in the land of the free!

Free of what?

Judges: bunch of punyetas!

nomad..

lol.. uu..

maasim talaga.. lol..

vicky bello...may asim pa rin no? :-)

nomad..

yeah.. its like a cockfighting already..

if you notice its not only governor singson are visible behind pacman..

vicky bello was around too..

lol..

Well the big fights are always staged in Las Vegas...

nomad..

in short..

maybe its about time to accept that BOXING is no longer a sport..

its plain gambling..

When I heard that Manny lost the fight (wasn't able to see it, I was at work) I felt sad for him and thought that it's really time for him to think about retirement. I thought that Bradley being the younger and hungrier fighter outboxed Manny all throughout the fight. Thats it, the curtain has fallen. Manny has grown older and could not pull the trigger anymore.

Then I saw the comments from the sports analysts all over the world Dan Raphael (espn), kevin lole (yahoo sports), harold lederman (hbo boxing analyst), floyd mayweather sr., larry merchant, max kellerman, jim lampley and even the manager of tim bradley all saying that Manny won the bout then I started thinking of what really happened in that fight. Mind you these are the same group of people who said that Marquez won his last bout against Pacquiao. What Im saying is that Its not always about the boxer, wirehead, especially if the people who are talking have been in the sports business all their lives. Filipinos love boxing no doubt about that, many of us also felt that Marquez won the the last fight against Pacquiao.

If Bradley knocked down Pacquiao and the judges ruled that Pacquiao won the fight then most of us boxing fanatics (Pinoy or otherwise) would shout LUTOOOOOO!!!!! Believe it or not.

wire head..

good for you if you just accept and move on..

but for the most us we can't just let go of something specially if its obviously fishy..

3 old folks in our country died of heart attack after the fight..

im not concluding that the cause was due to judges decision..

what i wanted to say is that we are not like you that can easily let go of things and move on, some take this seriously and maybe the only entertainment for them..

most pinoy's spared time to watch the fight

so i guess we have the right to react and to tell our own judgement too..

ukeng..

"it was not a convincing fight by pacquiao" - thats you..

for the most of us around the world..

we were not convince by bradly's performance to win over the number one pound per pound boxer in the planet..

that includes your planet guys..

the same can be said about the last fight with marquez. some people thought marquez should've won the fight. and we said the same things the last time pacquiao lost a fight. even blamed the new gloves he was wearing. when will we grow up and accept defeat with dignity? i stand by the words i used.

i'm not saying that the decision was fair. maybe it isn't. maybe it was a fixed match. but since we were not the judges of the match hence we were not in a position to influence the outcome. the same can be said in other aspects of life. i thought it was not right for corona to be impeached, nor was it right for pnoy to get elected (yeah, out of topic). but the decisions were made according to the rules and we have no choice but to abide by them. just because they won does not mean it was right. they simply won. and we should move on.

but this is a wake up call for manny. he's just been into too many things lately and he lost focus.

UkEng i thought you said on your post above that you are not a judge at the ring side hence in effect cannot make a good judgment. Now you watched the replay on TV and suddenly you are convinced that Pacquiao lost fair and square? What the...?

Saw the Fight last night. With due respect. It was not a convincing fight by Pacquaio compared to some of his former fights, so the decision is not surprised.

Same thing happened to Amir Khan last year!

I wonder how my mom reacts on her chicken lose.

your highness wire head..

then "sore losers" is inappropriate word to use..

its not only Filipino's ( excluding you ) are against the result..

and if i counted it right only you and Ukeng goes with the result..

Hope someday I can use it!

well now you know you can use it ^_^

see, i even googled it for you:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sore%20loser

if we had claudine barretto fight bradley she would've won hands down

sore eyes? I have not use "sore" loser before.

sore. never used it lolo flor? come to think of it, we could use sour too. or bitter.

sour? Lol! peace!

oh come on.....let's not be sore losers.

SCREWED..... SCORE CARDS ALL SHOW HIM WINNING... SOMEBODY GOT PAID OFF.... SAD DAY IN BOXING... NOW IS A GODO TIME FOR HIM TO WAIT FOR THE REMATCH AND THEN RETIRE WITH THE CHAMPIONSHIP....

those judges are paid well..

i assume that they should be the best of their profession..

so their judgement should be acceptable and not beyond boxing analyst judgements..

TG.. I am not the Judge at the ring side. Not all the Judges see or have the same angle or view when there judging, so it is easy for one judge to miss a few punches.

He was a good fighter hope he can bounce back!

Ukeng..

you maybe right..

but that applies to mike tysoon, dela hoya, shane mostly, barera etc.. coz they no longer fight well as they were before..

if you watched the match pacquiao fought very well..

and if i notice it right only you who commented the other way..

I thinks he's days are over. All goods come to an end.

they should conduct an investigation and jail these judges if proven guilty..

these happened so many times in boxing sports..

boxing should not tolerate these for it not become like WWE TV series shows that is controlled by a director..

its so sad to see a hard working boxer like Manny losing a fight just to generate money..

This is not our year.. cheer up Philippines. :)

they let bradley won the game so mayweather will fight pacman

eigroj, maybe a rubber match or just to give enough time for a Pacquiao-Mayweather superfight! :D

Pacquiao got robbed!

Bradley's manager had scored this fight 9-3 for Pacquiao, no one at ringside could believe what the judges saw.

BTW to those gringo-haters I have a good story for you:

In 1993 Pernell Whitaker and Julio Cesar Chavez fought at the Alamodome. Whitaker outboxed Chavez's ass over and over just to earn a majority draw.

You got it! A Mexican beat a gringo in his homeland. I was very young and naive and that's the day when I said to myself that I would not believe in this bullsh*t sport anymore.

Well his 7 year unbeaten run had to come to an end.

Boxing in the US of A are always controlled by Mafia... moreso Las Vegas. This is where the money comes... its big time gambling!

Setting aside the money making scheme of promoters like Arum. That's why the fight contract has a rematch clause if Bradley wins... and thats it! Pacquiao loses... so another money making fight in the process.

Because its hard to believe that errors for scoring by the judges are still the reason for wrong decision in awarding the rightful winner. We are now in an era that counting the hits for every round can already be accurately ascertained... through replay of recording.

But thats how it goes... Boxing is still gambling!

It's purely a Bob Arum's Game, both fighters are under his stable, if there will be a re-match for sure Pacquiao will win so it will become a trilogy.. more money for BA.

I just read the reviews and even ESPN, Yahoo sports analysts all scored in favor of Pacquiao and the judges decision had stunned them.... oh well... it's another way of making money for Bob Arum! A rematch on Novemeber!

in American soil, unless you knock him out, you LOSE!

Me & my Filipino staffs watched the fight this morning as I pay for their pay per view in their local channel. For me my votes goes to Manny but sad to say I'm not one of the judges. Better luck next time! Now we need to go back to work, but most of my staffs are working with a very sad face:(

Please be careful.. The fleet is being redeployed in the Pacific :O(

I thought he had already retired?!!!

His Scores is far enough to win the fight BUT Who will defeat the Americans?

Actually just read the review now. It seems when a foreign fighter fights in the US the points scoring seems a bit suspect. This is something they should look at, as this is not the first time.

Better for him, He is the only father that can afford to let his children to see his fight on the ring side.

Boxing fights are like that. The title is always bit controversial.

We admire him so we are sad. It is not his time now. May be next time. This is sports. You sometimes win. Other times, you lost. That's life..

All the best for his family.

A lot of people said it was controversial even the promoter of the fight. But the fighter said, "I accept the result, I respect the judges, I cannot blame them.It is a part of the game. I give thanks to the Lord. I did my best but my best wasn't good enough."

Great fighter but when they lose it is always in 'controversial' circumstances.

He will not win as President. haha LOL

Bad luck. he should now retire and run for President.
