[Video] Was Manny Pacquiao Robbed?
Saturday evening, the fight between Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley went down in Sin City. The fight, which was the biggest fight of Bradley’s career, ended with him ultimately winning (reportedly, he was to make a minimum of $5 million). So what’s the big fuss? Before the decision had been made, many thought Pacquiao had won, but two judges decided otherwise, giving Bradley a split decision. We hate to bore you, but here are the numbers:
- Bradley won five of the last six on two scorecards and four on the third. He won 115-113 on the scorecards of judges Duane Ford and C.J. Ross.
- Pacquiao landed 253 punches to 159 for Bradley
- Compubox statistics show Pacquiao landed more punches in 10 of the 12 rounds
Here’s a clip of the decision:

If you watched the fight Saturday night, do you believe that Pacquia should have won? Or did Bradley clearly win the fight?
