In what had to be one of Manny Pacquiao's finer performances over the past five years, myself and millions of others watched Timothy Bradley get soundly and undeniably beaten on June 9th, 2012.
But to be honest, you could feel a loss was coming long before the opening bell. Manny Pacquiao and his crew delayed the fight by an hour and in Freddie Roach's own words..."it was deliberate." I was reminded during this fiasco of the night Naseem Hamed fought Marco Antonio barrera in 2001. He (Hamed) too delayed the fight by an hour after repeatedly changing his choice of gloves to wear. Naseem Hamed then opted not to flip over the top-rope during his ring entry (due to his discomfort with the gloves)...the night was just odd from the start. Marco Antonio Barrera beat, humiliated even, the then un-defeated champion, Prince Naseem Hamed. I sent a Tweet at around 20 minutes into Pacquiao's delay; |

These are the truth's in the aftermath of the Pacquiao Vs. Bradley fight;
1. Pacquiao re-ignited and perhaps in some ways re-claimed his pound 4 pound title after beating Timothy Bradley.
2. All boxing titles are now officially worthless and a single-body regulatory commission should be developed as quickly as possible.
3. This was a WIN for Manny Pacquiao and a LOSS for Timothy Bradley.
4. This reeks of a backroom deal amongst fellow promoters and networks
5. The rematch should NOT be on PPV
6. If on PPV, the rematch WILL BE BOYCOTTED!
If boxing has any 'wit' left at all, they will abandon the Pacquiao Vs. Bradley rematch and give us Pacquiao Vs. Mayweather on November 10th, 2012... but that would take insight and most importantly...OVERSIGHT.
