All things SPORTS

There had better be a rematch, but the only concern is that will Manny be too old by then...

the judges weren't watching the fight, they were watching their bank account's new deposit...

Originally posted by shing02   after adding up all the points on my own score card...bradley struck air and threw more punches a LOT more than pacquiao...based on this, yes...he would win unfortunately, points are scored on successful punches...which makes this entire sport bullshit now no wonder no one watches boxing anymore...

So relieved that nadal was able to withstand djokovic's pre-rain delay momentum. Anyone see pau gasol embrace nadal after his win-pretty cool

Yah. With few exceptions, that entire matchup was one sided. But most Nadal vs. _______ matchups are lol. He's a beast.

True but nadal had lost 7 straight tournament finals to the joker, had just dropped a set and lost 8 games in a row when the clay was wet. Having to wait till monday allowed the court to dry which reinstated nadal's legendary spin and high bouncing ground strokes-which subsequently let him regain the momentum and finally outlast novak

The WBO announced they'll be reviewing the fight...it took them this long to decide they need to look into it?

And boxing wonders why the fanfare is far from what it used to be....

Originally posted by solocreep If pacquiao won , not too many people would be talking aboutboxing. More people would tune to see his next fight just cuz the "decision". People love drama in sports.

The nba finals game is turning rapidly here in the 4th quarter

I wonder what the people who placed bets on Pacman will do when the reviews decide that he didn't lose the fight...

Either way the manny-floyd fight has lost its luster and appeal. Manny seems to be slowly losing his power and so does floyd-both narrowly escaping fights they used to dominate

Mayweather isn't really known for his punching power even tho he's ko'd some guys before. And narrowly escape? Lol. He lost like 3 rounds to cotto in what was probably his best fight ever. he was actually the agressor vs a worthy opponent. I guess it makes a little more sense then. Two people can watch the same fight and come out with different points of view. Except two judges saw bradley winning, and millions (fans and people surrounding boxing), saw pacquiao winning. Go figure.

What I never understood is this: Pac and Mayweather have been on each other's radar for years.  So the "negotiations" to make the fight happen were all about steroids, splitting the money, proper venue, etc. like this would be the last fight they ever fought.  Well, if this fight happens two years ago, and they make $50 mil each, guess what, you fight a rematch and then make a more money.  Clearly, Mayweather is protective of his perfect record, and Manny, Manny is, well, different.  Will they ever fight?  Who knows at this point.  But I agree, this fight should have happened two years ago when they were still at the tail end of their primes.

I getcha. Regardless of the blown decision in the Manny/Bradley fight, it would appear Manny has lost a bit of his steam, and by the time Mayweather's out of the clink, it may not even be much of an interest to see a bought between the two.

and they'll keep fighting because the money is pretty sweet...the same reason tyson kept fighting and tarnished his reputation

Ya its ridiculous. They should be prosecuting the ceo's of major corporations that have commited hayness white collar crimes that in essence crippled our economy rather than go after athletes who have fallen from grace

they've spent more time prosecuting/debating big name stars instead of big name companies...or hell, even the iraq war! :/

Anyone looking forward to wimbledon?

What?! A coin toss?! I haven't heard anything about this! Do you have a link to that story somewhere?

LOL! that's awful! And worse yet they're using a standard quarter to do the flip?! Does NO ONE on that committee watch Mythbusters?!
"But if there is a run-off, the health of the athlete must be protected,"... really?! racing is all these people do! It's not like they're gonna throw hurdles under the track that randomly pop up lol

Andy Murry looked great today, and it would be awesome to see a Brit finally win Wimbledon.  However I just don't see him being able to beat 2 of the top 3 to do it. I am taking Federer on this one.
