Not to blame PacMan, but this is why for certain fights one should always take the decision out of the hands of the judges. How? By knocking the other sucker out! While it may not always be possible (looking at the records of boxers like PacMan and Mayweather, even though many of their wins are by KO a number of them are still by decision) it is still the only way to 100% ensure the judges do not pull any funny act. It would be difficult for any judge to claim the guy dreaming of his granny’s pancakes on the floor is the winner.

Continuing my post 9 ...if there is ever a Mayweather/PacMan fight, the only option for BOTH would be to knock the other person out. A fight of that caliber, with all that will be riding on that fight (in terms of both money and game-politics), means that leaving that fight in the hands of the judges would be detrimental to both men. If the two ever fight the only option for both will be to do their best to leave the other drooling on the floor either unable to stand up or (better still) deep asleep. Anything else is a gamble. KO the person and there will be no argument about who won.

Manny didn’t want to hurt him after he’d taken him completely apart just as with Cotto and Margarito etc. KO theory, of course, makes sense when a fight is competitive but this was a jog the entire fight.

Bradley’s closest round in the fight was connecting one fewer than Manny - overwhelmingly the rounds were two to one in power connects. You couldn’t take LSD and come up with Bradley winning 7 rounds. I don’t like wrestling I don’t like UFC but I love boxing. As a fight fan that spends money on it over the years, they have me totally demoralized. The only thing that could get me over this is an investigation that shows a fix. If the best judges cant score a fight, it’s all over. I think I’m done with boxing now if this can happen to just to schedule a re-match. Taken in the same year as Mayweather punching Ortiz twice on the break on a fight he was actually losing - I mean what’s the point anymore ?
