Boxing is Fixed: Manny Pacquiao loses to Timothy Bradley

In what could be the biggest fraud in boxing's rich history, Timothy Bradley (29-0) stayed undefeated by winning a split-decision over favorite Manny Pacquiao (54-4-2).

I watched the entire fight and even tweeted that it was boring because Pacquiao was dominating him in every round. The only round that I had Bradley winning was the 10th. HBO's Harold Lederman had nearly the same scorecard as me.

If Bradley won the fight, why did everyone on Twitter go berserk when he was announced as the winner? Is this the end of boxing?

The fight started with controversy and ended with even more. I am not a boxing expert, but I have watched nearly every major boxing event over the last 20 years. I know enough to tell when a boxer is getting blown out.

Pacquiao went missing after the Miami Heat beat the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. He wasn't in his locker room or with his trainers. He appeared shortly before the national anthems and had to quickly warm up during both of the songs.

Pacquiao started the fight out like he was 100% prepared. He spent each round resting for the first two minutes and then using all of his energy on a flurry of punches given in the last minute. They took a toll on Bradley and even made him twist his ankle in the second round. By the 8th round, Bradley walked to the corner with his head down low because he knew he was losing. Pacquiao was playing with him for most of the fight. He was smiling and even looked over at Jim Lampley and Max Kellerman and winked during a round. Pacquiao could have ended the fight early, but he looked like he was having too much fun.

Ringside judges Duane Ford and C.J. Ross score the fight 115-113 for Bradley. Judge Jerry Roth gives it 115-113 to Pacquiao.

Pacquiao had a controversial decision in his last fight against Juan Manuel Marquez. Kellerman insinuated that the Nevada Boxing Commission wasn't going to give him another decision if his fight with Bradley was close.

Here's a video of a segment they taped on HBO prior to the fight.


This was the worst decision I have witnessed since George Foreman defended his title against Axel Schulz in 1995. Foreman looked old and had a goose egg above his eye the size of a tennis ball. Schulz out-boxed the champ, but the judges didn't see it that way.

Conspiracy theorists will say that since Floyd Mayweather is in jail for the next six months, boxing needed a big fight. If Pacquiao lost against Bradley, it would force them to have a rematch (rumored to be November 10th). The fight will draw big pay-per-view numbers because of the controversy, but I will not buy it.

If you love the sport of boxing, you should boycott the Pacquiao/Bradley rematch. It isn't fair to the fans to have such a joke of a decision after shelling out money to watch it.

Bernard Hopkins Vs Robert Allen
funniest boxing moments
Bernard Hopkins, one of three beltholders in the middleweight division, just thought he was making another dismal title defense against another bum of his weight class. Little did Hopkins know that even the referee, Mills Lane, would be able to inflict more pain on him than Robbie Allen, the hopeless bum that he was fighting.
Allen gave Hopkins all that he could handle for the first four rounds and matched Hopkins' trademark dirtiness for a totally foul filled bout. As the two wrestled all over the ring to the dismay of the fans, Lane wormed his way between the two fighters in an attempt to separate them. Lane slightly pushed both Hopkins and Allen off of each other but Hopkins, obviously weakened from his life and death struggle with the unheralded Allen, easily fell through the ropes and out of the ring onto the floor below.
Hopkins made painful, funny faces while Allen called him a coward. Lane seemed sorry for what he had done and most fans thought the whole thing was funny. 
Robbie Peden Vs Nate Campbell
What we learned from the match was never gets too cocky as a person, you never know what will happen to you in the next seconds of your life.

Top 10 Manny Pacquiao's Best Fights
So let's start this list now:


Manny Pacquiao vs. Lehlohonolo Ledwaba
Pacquiao's first match in America was in 2001 at 21 years old, he entered the ring and defeated Lehlohonolo Ledwaba of South Africa. The fight arguably put him on the radar, and from that moment, he went on to defend the title four times. He’s lost only one match since his American debut.
Manny Pacquiao (121 lbs) beat Lehlohonolo Ledwaba (122 lbs) by TKO at 0:59 in round 6 of 12.



Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales III
With the series split 1-1, Pacquiao and Morales locked fists for the third and last time.
It was this fight that marked a change in Pacquiao’s fighting style. As if he wasn’t already dangerous enough, Pacquiao began to use his right hand as a key element of his arsenal. Manny now applied tremendous power in both hands, helping to amplify an already stellar swarming style. People ready to watch an incredible last match between the two, but unfortunately the match was one sided and ended early
Manny Pacquiao (129 lbs) beat Erik Morales (129 lbs) by KO at 2:57 in round 3 of 12.


Manny Pacquiao Vs. Antonio Margarito
Pacquiao's destruction of Margarito, a fighter 17 pounds heavier than him, was extraordinary in many ways. Not since Erik Morales beat the Filipino superstar in 2005 has a Mexican boxer solved the Pac-Man riddle. But is Pacquiao’s nickname as the "Mexican Killer" justified? The answer is yes yes yes.
Manny Pacquiao (144½ lbs) beat Antonio Margarito (150 lbs) by unanimous decision in round 12 of 12.


Manny Pacquiao vs. Marco Antonio Barrera
It was the first time Pacquiao went up to the Featherweight division. With this win, Pacquiao began to establish his legacy as the newest boxing superstar and the new "King of the Featherweight" division. For Pacquiao to defeat Barrera was an achievement, but to demolish him in such conclusive fashion showed that he was to be taken seriously by his peers.
Manny Pacquiao (125 lbs) beat Marco Antonio Barrera (126 lbs) by TKO at 2:56 in round 11 of 12.


Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales II
Pacquiao put his WBC International Super Featherweight title on the line in the rematch against Morales. Pacquiao had lost the first encounter with a 12th-round majority decision. Morales escaped being knocked down twice early in the fight, once by holding on to the ropes and once by falling on the referee's body. But his resilience wasn't to last. It was the first time in his hall-of-fame career that Morales was knocked out.
Manny Pacquiao (128½ lbs) beat Erik Morales (130 lbs) by TKO at 2:33 in round 10 of 12.


Manny Pacquiao vs. Oscar De La Hoya
In this bout Pacquiao beat Oscar de la Hoya so conclusively that he actually caused him to retire from professional boxing. Pacquiao pummeled De la Hoya for eight rounds straight, and the fight had to be stopped because the Golden Boy was taking such a hard beating. No title was exchanged when Pacquiao defeated de la Hoya via an 8th round technical knockout. But there was plenty of symbolism. Though very much in the twilight of his career, the much-decorated De La Hoya retired after the match and completed the passing of the torch to Pacquiao.
Manny Pacquiao (142 lbs) beat Oscar De La Hoya (145 lbs) by RTD at 3:00 in round 8 of 12.


Manny Pacquiao vs. Ricky Hatton
The England fighter went down twice in the first round before he was knocked out for good in the second round. Pacquiao looked like he was just biding his time in the first round. He then unleashed a left hook that sent Ricky Hatton down with less than 10 seconds left in the round. It was one of those moments that takes your breath away.
Manny Pacquiao (138 lbs) beat Ricky Hatton (140 lbs) by KO at 2:59 in round 2 of 12.


Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto
The most impressive Paquiao moment ever inside the ring has to be the night when he faced off against the lion-hearted Miguel Cotto. In a legacy-cementing win, Pacquiao defeated Cotto to capture the WBO Welterweight title and WBC Diamond Belt. The win made him the first boxer ever to win seven different titles in seven different weight classes. His performance that night fixed the Filipino's reputation as one of the finest boxers of this generations. Pacquiao simply destroyed Cotto.
Manny Pacquiao (144 lbs) beat Miguel Angel Cotto (145 lbs) by TKO at 0:55 in round 12 of 12.


Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez II
This fight was dubbed "Unfinished Business" because of the controversial draw that ended their first encounter in 2004. However, Pacquiao managed to edge out Marquez this time around, although the result include some controversy. The match was devastatingly hard-fought on both sides. Pacquiao edged with a narrow split decision.
Manny Pacquiao (129 lbs) beat Juan Manuel Marquez (130 lbs) by split decision in round 12 of 12.


Manny Pacquiao vs. David Diaz
This fight is very important for him because Pacquiao earned a championship for his fifth weight class. There was never any doubt as to who the better fighter was throughout the match, but the way he tortured a strong, rugged lightweight surely raised his popularity.


Special mention:



Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley 

Pacquiao successfully defended his WBO World Welterweight title against three-division world champion Shane Mosley via lopsided unanimous decision at the MGM Grand Arena. Rapper LL Cool J performed as Mosley entered first the arena, while vocalist Jimi Jamison of the rock band Survivor sang "Eye of the Tiger" as Pacquiao approached the ring. Pacquiao knocked Mosley down in the third round using a one-two capped with a left straight. Mosley was left dazed by the knockdown but managed to stand up. Mosley floored Pacquiao in the tenth round with a push, but referee Kenny Bayless inexplicably ruled it a knockdown. None of the judges seemed to have bought it judging from the scores. Replays showed that Pacquiao was throwing a punch off balance, had his right foot stepped on by Mosley's left foot and went down with a little help from Mosley's right hand. Bayless apologized to Pacquiao after the fight for the mistake. Pacquiao gained one-sided verdicts from all three judges – 119–108, 120–108 and 120–107.
