Crazy headbutt in Round 10.

At this stage, I'm not sure if Pacman will win.

Pacquiao wins by UD.

I honestly think Marquez won the fight.

It's sad to see both fighters disappointed.
You can clearly see it in Pacquiao's face in the after-fight interview.

* nah... Pacman wins, bro... he landed more punches and he did fight more agressive than his challenger... the challenger (Marquez) should have been more aggresive since he needs to defeat the champion (Pacquiao) to win the title, but that did not happen...

* yeah, it was Marquez' style of counter-punching that makes him wait for an opponent to strike first, but that's his problem... that style will have him fewer on points, not unless he managed to knock out/down his opponent, which he failed to do in their three historic bouts...

* Pacman agrees for a rematch... but i'm looking forward for his match with Mayweather... 🙂

He said in the post-fight interview that he was thinking of retiring.

* here's another revelation from keen observers:

* Marquez was robbed from victory? he intentionally stepped on Pacquiao's foot 6 times in the match, then executing a power punch...

1 - 4th Round last 11 seconds
2 - 6th Round last 1:18 seconds
3 - 7th Round last 1:49 seconds
4 - 8th Round last 1:27 seconds
5 - 12th Round last 1:23 seconds
6 - 12th Round last 52 seconds

👆

pacquiao already said he doesn't care about the foot stepping anyways..

* that's being modest... maybe that's the reason he said he started to have "cramps" in the 4th round...

Ok. So what are everyone's thoughts on Pacquiao vs Bradley? Was Pacman robbed? Did Bradley take a legitimately close fight?

I'm not extremely upset at Bradley winning, but I do feel like Pacquiao did more damage. Bradley clearly came to fight though.

Of course it was a horrible decision. Probably the worst I've seen in recent memory; MMA included. And the fact that the "Bradley/Pacquiao 2" posters came out 2 weeks ago shows just how much of a fix it really was.

Lame, another fixed fight for no other reason than to make more $$$ on the rematch.

Manny lost fair and square.

Wassup, Manny?

Here's the compubox readings, in case anyone hadn't seen them. Going strictly by hit percentages, Bradley only won round 9.

I guess the moral of the story for boxing is; throw as many punches as possible in order to win. It doesn't matter if you get hilariously outlanded by 100 shots. If you throw more, you'll win.

Manny shouldn't have been scared, homie.

* anyone here watched Casimero-Lazarte fight?

Speaking of being scared, homie.
