Yes, I know this isn't MMA related but it is kind of in a way, because these judges just tarnished Manny Pacquiao's legacy. A loss is a loss, but he didn't lose here, and a loss means a lot more in boxing than it does in MMA. I was sicked when I saw the results, time and time again, regardless whether it is MMA or boxing, judges are the headline of the story.

Just so this stays UFC related, here is Dana White responding..

Worst athletic commission in the country!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dana White @danawhite
Nevada state athletic commission at its finest!!! Youve for to be ******* kidding me!! that is disgusting Nevada state athletic commission!!
This was rigged straight up, a posted released two weeks before the event even happened? if Pacman won convincingly, which he did, then there would be no way for a rematch. Judges are PAID!
I'm reticent in regard to a crime at this point. Sometimes things may seem a certain way but really aren't. I don't see any evidence of corruption at this point. I just know we've witnessed the worst decision in boxing history.
Taking it another step and claiming corruption and starting rumors about individuals without evidence IMO are just as bad as the corruption would have been. I'm open to it, but just can't go there yet.
It's very possible that we just had 3 really bad judges.
Well, I'm glad I bet on Pacman by KO instead of by decision. I was simply wrong, haha. But to be correct and get robbed would have made me go nuts. Betting on this has to be incredibly stupid, so much evidence pointing to corruption. I'd really love the rematch to lose millions on the PPV, but know it won't.
Apparently the decision was so bad PaddyPower refunded bets on Pacquiao! You know its bad when a bookie doesn't buy the decision when its making them a shed load!
Have any of you guys gone back and watched this fight without the sound on? I think you will be really shocked at how close this fight actually was, I personally scored it for Pac but this was NOT the massive robbery compared to other fights I've seen.....a very well made video:
I'm not a big fan of Pacman but this is ridiculous. This is why I believe boxing is a dying sport unfortunately. I love boxing but all it has become is a playground for judges or the main stars of the sport never seem to fight (Mayweather vs Pac). These Vegas judges need to be investigated. The reason why I have so much anger towards these judges is that some boxing judges come to UFC and they don't know wtf they are talking about. Hopefully it'll get better before the next big match for boxing.
Since I'm from Finland, I'm hoping Helenius might step up his game soon. But hey, even I can acknowledge his win over Chisora was a gift and a robbery.
