† Right to Assume Fix in Main Event †
Pacquiao dominated Bradley Saturday night. Many who saw it believed Pacquiao won by a margin of at least 10-to-2.
Everyone except the judges, the only people who mattered. Conspiracy? Here are a few reasons why the fix could have been in.
Pacquiao dominated
Pac-Man landed 253 of 751 punches thrown, a connect rate of 34 percent. Bradley only landed 159 of 839, a connect rate of just 19 percent. Pacquiao's shots were much more powerful, too.
Generally, if the fight is close, judges will turn to the number of punches landed as the ultimate difference-maker. Surprisingly that wasn't the deciding factor here.
Boxing took another hit Saturday night and the sport should be ashamed. We'll probably never know the truth, but the proof may be in the pudding.
