Pacquiao fights a tune up prior to setting up a fight with Mayweather. That's the fight everyone wants to see.

Only he loses in what was apparently a very controversial decision.

Lederman, who scored the fight 119-109 in favor of Pacquiao


That's a guy whose whole life is boxing and he's considered an expert. That's not ripping him, that's pointing out how fucked up it was for the official judges to rule the other guy won the fight.

And it was a split decision. That means one of the three judges thought Pacquiao won the fight...

The "winner" broke his foot during the fight and had to do the post-fight press conference from a wheelchair.

And to top off the controversy, [url=http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/ar ... ghts_fight

Just wow.

This is why boxing is dying and why the UFC is dominating the fight landscape. Until they rid themselves of cancers like Bob Arum and Don King boxing will be looked at with no more respect than the NBA and professional wrestling.
