Click on Rafael's reaction link under the video. He said there wasn't a single analyst that had the fight closer than 9-3 Pac.

Manny Pacquiao shocked in split-decision loss to Timothy Bradley Jr. - ESPN

Few seemed to agree with the two judges who scored Saturday's welterweight title fight in Las Vegas for Timothy Bradley Jr. over champion Manny Pacquiao. Even the winner seemed unconvinced.

That article says even Bradley's manager had Pac winning 8-4.

Something is wrong here. If every single person on the planet besides a split decision panel had Pac winning BIG, they need to look into what happened tonight.

Pacquiao absolutely dominated Bradley tonight, you could argue he won every round and at worst lost one round of 12 and lost a split decision on the scorecards. Even the judge that had Pac winning was way off with his scoring at 115-113, just a absolute joke. The judges should be investigated and banned from any future fights for that laughable decision. Meanwhile the sportsbooks and the bookies are laughing to the bank.

Somebody tell me exactly what happened?

Nevermind.
Even though it's not my favorite, I have always respected boxing for what it is and for what it requires of its champions.
Never liked Pac anyway, with the doping and all. however what happened is pretty ridiculous. Either a huge publicity stunt or a lot of bookies are cashing checks. Too bad for Manny.
Sounds like he'll dominate the opener though

Been like this for at least 15 years. Pure garbage. Cannot believe a single person still watches boxing.

Hard to believe that boxing used to be second only to baseball. Now look at it. I couldn't name a single fighter. I think the corruption, no big names anymore, and making everything pay-per-view just killed.it.

I left before the last round last night and when I woke up this morning and saw the headline on ESPN I did a double take. I couldn't hear the sound at the party so it wasn't like I was swayed by any commentary. It didn't seem close, I thought Manny won huge.
Deserve got nothing to do with it...

Pac landed nearly twice as many punches and had Bradley hurt in all of about the first 6 rounds. According to the MSN article, when Arum went up to Bradley before the decision was announced he said "I tried my best, but I couldn't beat the guy." Even Bradley thought he lost.

I can't decide what sport from the past had a worse day. The one where there triple crown threat retired after 7 career races because his ball juice is worth too much or boxing that had a horrible decision to one of the two or three athletes people had ever heard of.
And MMA does get it right most of the time but Forrest griffin would object to the use of the words every time. It is a difference between one major league that needs credibility to succeed vs one with individual promoters.
