Manny Pacquiao vs Bradley fight postmortem: Dana White should takeover boxing

Manny Pacquiao vs Bradley fight fiasco seems to have badly disappointed boxing fans who are demanding that someone like Why Dana White should take over boxing

Boxing fans are a disappointed lot for the last few days. They say that following Manny Pacquiao vs Timothy Bradley fight and the farce in the form of Bradley being declared the winner, boxing as a sport has been harmed. Many have sworn never to go and watch a boxing fight if the judges who decided the outcome of the fight are not punished severely.

Many other people suggest that the administration of World Boxing Council-World Boxing Association should be in the hands of someone like Dana White who has revolutionized Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). He has singlehandedly taken the MMA where it is right now –from sort of underground sport till just a few years ago.

Manny won the fight comprehensively and every boxing expert saw that he had won the fight overwhelmingly but when judges announced the results, it was a rude shock to all. Manny was pronounced beaten. To be true everyone saw from his or her own eyes as to who was hammered throughout the fight by Manny.

Bob Arum who must be very happy with the prospects of a rematch between Manny and Bradley looked very angry with the judges and said that such sorts of judgments will hurt the sport as a whole. But the damage has already been done. Just after the fight Arum said, “Something like this is so outlandish, it’s a death knell for the sport. This is …nuts. I have both guys, and I’ll make a lot of money in the rematch, but it’s ridiculous. You have these old …who don’t know what the … they’re looking at. It’s incompetence. Nobody who knows anything about boxing could have Bradley ahead in the fight.”

Meanwhile boxing fans throughout the world are outraged. A reader says, “As much as I hated the idea at first, I think the only way to save boxing is put someone like Dana White in charge. Way too many weight class, too many divisions and too many fights that nobody wants to see. Judges never seem to be reprimanded for horrendous scores.”

Another reader has this to say, “Anybody that says Bradley won more than 4 at most is definitely bias. I watched it multiple times, and I even tried to cheat for Bradley one time. Still had 116-112 Pacquiao. Don’t give me that effective aggression BS. If that’s your case, Pacquiao was cutting the ring off Bradley most of the fight. Even the fighter himself knew he lost and felt he lost. What are you saying?”

    This is an opportunity to change the boxing sport starting from the way the judges score a fight. I am an avid boxing fan and from experience I know how to score a fight. Pacquiao clearly won at least ten out of 12 rounds. Those judges are three blind mice.

    stop crying the belt belonged to Marquez anyway. Pacquiao should know karma is a bi***. He is trying to duck Marquez and hope he continues to age. Pacquiao is slipping and mayweather would eat him alive.

    The UFC is by nature corrupt. It’s controlled directly by higher ups who decide everything, including that one time they gave a WWE wrestler a title shot within under five fights. I used to love the UFC and don’t really care for boxing since it’s not my thing, but nearly every time I tune in to the UFC nowdays there are messed up decisions happening all
    the time. UFC is way too in-house to be taken seriously. On pretty much every UFC event now there will be at least one horrible decision.

    The judges in the UFC and boxing are both controlled by the same organisations: the athletic commissions. These are the guys who control the judges and these are the guys who should take the blame. These are outside bodies who decide things for them to ensure the judges themselves don’t become too in-house, as did what I mentioned above. But now the ACs themselves are completely rotten and go completely unmonitored. Promoters on all sides of the fence need to kick up a storm and stop what they’ve been doing.

    Juan Miguel Marquez fans are STUPID! first of all, its not Pacqiauo’s fault that he won the third fight with Marquez. That fight was close it could go either way but like always Pac has always been the agressor. JMM fans need to shut the fuck up!

  • Lou

    Juan Migay Marquez cried like a biatch when he lost. Pacman showed a high level of professionalism when he lost and even congratulated Bradley for earning the belt.

    Big difference!!!!!!!
