    Had pacquaio down for the first 9 rounds, although Bradley done well in the first. Only ones I seen Bradley take cleanly were the 10th and 11th rounds.

    Absolutely shocked with the decision, it was absolute disgrace to be honest. It was a pretty one sided affair and not one pundit, journalist or spectator could understand that result.

    Bradley never hurt Pacman once in the entire fight, and spent the majority of it running away being very negative in his approach imo. Hugely baffled by this decision, and it certainly stinks.

    I'm sure Manny will do him in the rematch, but I hope it doesn't hinder the big fight we all want to see with Floyd.

    I watched it and have to say that the American commentators were talking utter *. Their idolisation of Manny is * embarrassing and the whole way through the fight you could tell that Bradley's corner thought/knew he was well in it. Manny took large chunks off quite a few rounds off (usually the first two minutes) and that would not have sat well with the judges.

    That said, I still thought Manny won it but not by the 8 or 9 rounds that some think.

    Manny was robbed, definitely.

    The judges have been in the spotlight far too much recently.

    I didn't see the fight but having read reports it seems Manny was robbed and a lot of people are buying into the conspiracy that there will be a rematch in November and a fight against Mayweather next spring. Mayweather would want a warm up fight before fighting Manny after a spell in jail.

    If anyone is looking to kill a bit of time before the next football game then Ward V Gatti is ESPN classic just now. Good viewing guaranteed.

    judge duane ford is quoted in the rags here in US saying that in his opinion Bradley taught Manny a boxing lesson on saturday hence why he scored on favour of Bradley ....must have been watching a different fight from me
