Pacquia-Bradley: WTF were the judges smoking?
I am floored. I gave Bradley rounds 1, 10, 12, and maybe 11 at best. Even Bradley couldn't believe it--he kept saying that he had to go review the tapes and see if he won. That is not the statement of a fighter who won a fight.
Pacquiao out-landed Bradley in 10 of the 12 rounds, with a 253-to-159 advantage in total punches, 63-51 in jabs and 190 to 108 in power punches. Bradley spent most of the final part of the fight going backwards and ducking. How that wins a championship I cannot fathom.
I don't think it was a fix; the money fighter lost. Here's Bob Arum's quote to The Ring about the judging:
"These old f***s don't know what they're looking at. What do you say after this? Nothing in my career has stunned me as much as this decision."
