Shocked The World

This was a match for the promoters, and Manny Pacquiao the fighter lost. I won't say Timothy Bradley won, because he didn't by any stretch of the imagination . It wasn't even close. I finally got a chance to see the replay of the fight, and I see why this will go down in history as one of pro boxing's most controversial decisions. Even Timothy Bradley didn't really believe he won the fight. Before him I never heard of a fighter who won a split decision admit the judges might have made a mistake. He had taken so many punches he was still in a daze.

If there is one thing I can say on Bradley's behalf. His skin and stamina are like a tough piece of leather. In a bout where he was out punched for at least eight rounds if not more. He still looked pretty good in the end. When he twisted his ankle he wanted to quit, but his corner wouldn't let him.  His trainer earned his twenty percent. It was like he knew Bradley just had to last the whole twelve rounds. He was the perfect fighter for the judges explanation. Timothy Bradley  probably threw his best punch of the fight in the 9th or 10th round. If the fight had been sixteen rounds instead of twelve. Bradley might have qualified as a new reigning champion who partly told the truth. He shocked the world, but  he was too.
