I could give you a close fight if they had to make it close, but to give the nod to Bradley is a punch in the gut to fight fans. I am a Bradley fan, but did not think he would win this fight and as we watched he did not. You could see by round 6 he was walking back to the corner with head held low. He was not ready for the Manny power.
Manny did seem to lay off in the later round which I thought was a mistake, but still did enough the entire fight to win.
I might have given Bradley 4 rounds. My brother gave him 5 to be generous.
What can you do? I for one will now stop paying for PPV - sick to my stomach to watch a good match and then watch the victor lose the decision. It sure made me think about how the promoter had set up the rematch clause for Nov. 10th if Bradley won. Ya think money played a part in this? ummm.... I am leaning towards YES
Good thing I have my favorite SIM - TBCB!!!!!

The amazing thing about this fight was if it was going to be rigged, it'd make sense to rig it towards Packy, not against him. A Mayweather-Packy fight would be a big boost to the economy of whoever gets it, Las Vegas being the main candidate.
When Mayweather beat Cotto a month ago, I felt the scores were a little generous in favor of Money. Very intrigued that Pacquiao didn't get a similar break. If Packy and Money should ever meet in that town, Manny better be going for the knockout, because now we know he won't get a favorable decision.
