Something stinks and it’s not just the judges – Pacquiao robbed

I watched a fight where 8 division world champion Manny Pacquiao would win at least 10 out of 12 rounds Vs. Timothy Bradley. When the scores were read, and I started hearing 115/113 stuff, that feeling that I get in my stomach started and I knew this was not going to be pretty.

So right out of the gate my phone starts banging off of the hook, and people are going crazy about how Manny Pacquiao was robbed of victory. Yes, I totally agree that Manny was indeed robbed of victory, and there are already theories going on in my head as to why.

Perhaps this was just another case of bad judging? Maybe, and then again maybe not. Maybe those elusive boxing God’s knew that a Pacquiao victory over Bradley puts some of the other boxing God’s in a bit of a pickle. Where would Pacquiao go next IF he would have gotten the decision Vs. Bradley? Mayweather Vs Pacquiao isn’t happening anytime soon, so if no Mayweather then who next?

There’s a lot of money to be made in a Pacquiao Vs. Bradley rematch. There’s even more money to be made in a Pacquiao Vs. Bradley trilogy, with the icing on the cake being a Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao ride off into the sunset. Hmmmmmm…… Perhaps this is just a theory. Forgive me for thinking out loud.

The great Stevie Wonder standing in a dark closet could even see that Manny Pacquiao REALLY won this fight. I scored the fight 10 rounds to 2 for Pacquiao.

The fight results tonight boil down to two possibilities. One being, the judges just simply saw the fight differently than the millions of fans, and the entire HBO ringside staff did. Two, the boxing God’s flexed their muscles, and just as Bewitched did in the 70’s, they wrinkled their noses and just like magic, made Bradley the new cash cow.
