My thoughts on Pacman Fight

[JenksIX]

You know, as soon as I see opinions that differ from mine, I get sarcastic or I take up the same viewpoint to an extreme level.

"Yeah, Pacquiao did lose that fight and even if he didn't who cares." Or "Yeah, that was a bullshit decision, but whatever."

But anyway, I watched the fight and I heard the announcing and to me Pacquiao seemed to dominate the fight. Now when the judges said Pacman had way more power, I had to go with their analysis cause I just can't tell that kind of stuff. But it was obvious body language wise and corners verbiage that Pac was owning Bradley.

Anyway, my belief is that Pacquiao won that fight out right.

Now when I think of reasons why Pac didn't win I remember
Bob Arum saying that Pac was more like Rick Santorum now a days and I think Arum is the type of guy that hates his fighters getting religious (as ppl tend too despise it at times.) And going into the fight there was a lot of worry Pac wouldnt be the same as he'd found religion. So maybe that is why the fix was in.

Also, Floyd and Pac are both in their mid thirties and even if they fight, once that happens, it seems like boxing is over so it's kind of like Pac was used to get Bradley over to be another prize fighter, perhaps vs Mayweather as the Pac fight seems lesser and lesser as the days go by.

Anyway, I think the fight was fixed and that's about it.

Boxing has shadiness like that going on all the time. In Showtime's ill-fated Super Six tourney, Carl Froch was gifted a decision in a fight he clearly lost to Andre Dirrell. In fact, that fight was more lopsided than Saturday night's fight, IMO.

Thing is, Pac won the fight for sure, but the way HBO was dickriding him made it seem more dominant than it really was. Especially in the late rounds (7+) where he would lose 3/4 of a round then flurry to end it. That was horrible strategy in fight that it became clear he wasn't going to finish.
