The fight was not really wanted and awaited as much as for Mayweather and Pacquiao, but hey, I have never seen news and social media sites blow up like this before! Not even during the Royal Wedding, MJ’s Death as well as Whitney’s.
I am not such an avid fun of sports (aside from Tennis.lol) But boxing, is not really my type of thing to watch. I find it so scripted and I dont know why I think it over that way, but its just how I see it.lol. But since my boyfriend MUST watch (he said that’s a thing about the guys! They MUST, MUST, MUST not skip in life.lmao), so we did watched the live streaming. We were even hooked up with the NBA Celtics and Heat game, but fortunately, it ended up before the fight started.
As a disclaimer, I am not speaking by the tongues of the so called “Boxing Analysts”.
It all started well, both boxers were trying to measure and test each others strengths, agility, reach, and style. The first four rounds, we saw that Pacman (clearly) was making the most out of all the thrown punches. Bradley had been such as clincher to control Pacman’s speed. It was so clear that Bradley cant keep up with Pacman’s speed and agility in the earlier rounds. During these rounds, 3 times did it happend that Bradley got hit with Pacmans left with clearly stunned him and almost knocked him down. Glad he was in good built during the fight, he was able to stand after all those strong hit.
Reaching round 8, the two players are slowing down so they were just like chasing each other on the ring. You can see in Pacman’s face the eagerness to put Bradley down but the man just trying to avoid the strong punches Pacman throws or at most times, he uses his hugs, ooh,, I mean clinch. I guess there was more clinches than that of the punches.lol. It was getting boring, no more tight encounters.
During the last round, everyone was waiting that Pacman will put an end to this game by knocking Bradley out, but it didnt happened. Bradley was just all over the ring, making Pacman chase him and do the hug again.lol. Pacman had a cut inside his mouth but it didnt bothered him. Bradley’s face was getting swell and you can see in his face that it was a hard fight for him.
End of round 12, everyone is waiting for the result. No knockdown, so all of us thought it was a unanimous decision. Then Michael Buffer, read the details of the judges scores, first in favor of Pacman (of course! Clearly it was). Then next, the word “NEW” uttered by Buffer’s mouth shocked the whole world! Boos and all grew all over the arena. Social media sites blew up with whats? and trending topics.
So, what the hell happened? No one new, not even the boxing legends can believe that the result was fair enough, and NOT even Bradley himself can affirm that he deserves the belt.
Tweets from the biggest names in all kinds of industries flooded the news feeds condemning the results. I am not talking about this because I am a Filipino, and that I am in favor of Pacquiao. No I am not. Not because I dont like him, but because I am just not into boxing and I am not that interested in such sport. But watching the game earlier shook me and thought, hey there is something not right about this. Even the Bradley fans were surprised since clearly, even a kid watching the fight, can definitely say, Pacman owned the fight and he should have kept the belt.
We’ll wait for the REMATCH!!! The world shouts for it!!!!!!
