I didn't see a thread for Boxing so here we go.
For those that saw the fight over the weekend, this image is all you need to see for a recap of all 12 rounds:
Bradley had a steady diet of Pacquiao's left jab all night long, yet thanks to crooked judging, Bradley won the bout.
Did anyone else see this travesty?

Boxing has long been termed the “theater of the unexpected.” It lived up to that title on Saturday night when Manny Pacquiao lost his first fight in eight years at the hands of Timothy Bradley.
Pacquiao appeared to win no less than nine rounds on many scorecards and the decision never seemed to be in question. Bradley was a game opponent but was never in the fight. Pacquiao backed him up and rocked him on several occasions with big punches.
Yet somehow two of the three judges found a way to give Timothy Bradley the fight and caused a storm of controversy in the process.
Manny Pacquiao is not the first fighter to be the victim of a head-scratching decision and sadly he won’t be the last.
