The Five Worst Decisions That I Have Ever Witnessed…Revisited

By

I would add Manny Pacquiao vs Timothy Bradley to my five worst decisions in boxing that I have ever witnessed list. There is one slight problem however: I did not witness the fight!

You may consider my lack of ordering this fight boxing fan boy treason. I consider it sound "cost–benefit" analysis.

The increasingly exorbitant cost associated with pay-per-view fights like Pacquiao-Bradley does not benefit me enough, entertainment-wise, to warrant purchase.

Controversy aside, my "no buy" decision, was ultimately justified.

The fight played out close to what I expected-a dominant Manny Pacquiao victory, sans the knockout.

And in hindsight, "sans the knockout" made all of the difference in the world, as the judges apparently robbed PacMan of his victory.

Now that the fight is over, where do you rank Manny Pacquiao vs Timothy Bradley in the annals of bad decisions from yesteryear? I look forward to your comments.

    I have to go Roy Jones’s Olympics loss. More telling however is the fact that I didn’t actually see this fight. After every big pay per view card I always hear big numbers but I have to question them. It seems like fewer and fewer people I know order fights anymore.

    Yep, to me, the Roy Jones Olympic scandal was as bad as it gets. HE ABSOLUTELY DOMINATED. And what made it worse, is that the Olympic Committee awarded him the distinction of best boxer in those same games, even though he didn’t win the gold medal! SMH…And I agree, I’m a die-hard, and even I did not watch and I am getting choosier and choosier for sure.
