Manny Pacquiao humbly acknowledged his loss to Bradley in the recent boxing event.
Pacquaio won according to surveys and reactions from viewers but he lost according to the 'judges'.
There's a lot of ongoing complaints despite Pacquiao's silence.
If you were Pacquiao, what would you do?

In my opinion, I think Manny had the taste of his own medicine, remember his fight last year with Marquez? Everyone thinks he should have lost, Marquez clearly won that fight, but still Manny was declared the winner. I guess he now knows how it feels like to be played in his own game. Karma indeed is whack.

When i watched Manny vs Marquez i thought that Manny lost too, but i think someone in mylot explain why Marquez didn't win. It's because Manny was the champion, and in order to win the title the contender must initiate the fight(he cannot just wait for the counter punch), not the other way around. In Manny vs Marquez, it was Manny that always initiate the fight, that's why the judge cannot give the title to Marquez.

surfer222 yup, I have also read the reviews on that fight and it seems that Marquez just gave it away to Manny, which is not fair, since Marquez also showed a very nice fight.
isohyeoh you are clearly a Manny fan. I am a Filipino and I believe in a fair fight. Everyone was saying I should be supporting Manny, but we only see things that happens inside the ring and not the judges. I personally believe Manny should have lost that fight with Marquez but because of technicalities he didn't, because he was the champion he was still declared winner. Personally I don't think he deserves it. Marquez should have one that fight. And with his fight with Bradley. I personally believe he should have won, but for a person who believes in Karma, what goes around comes around and he got what he deserve, also not to forget his statement against the gay community weeks before his fight. But like I said, this is all based on my opinion, the response is not meant to start an argument or debate.

And what about Marquez's tricks? It was clearly caught on camera-Marquez stepped on Manny's foot 6 times ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z5jkzyRT7s). And during their first fight, Manny knocked Marquez 3 times yet the fight ended in a draw. What did Manny do to desesrve the 'karma' you are talking about jenai? Or did I miss something?

I think Pacquiao is doing the right thing. He can't undo things to conform to his wishes or public clamor. The prestigious WBO and 5 of its panel of judges has pronounced the win for the Pinoy boxing vs Bradley after its review on June 18. The entire boxing world cannot be deceived by the decision of the 3 blind mice to borrow the words of Arum. It was very clear as water that Bradley during that epic battle of his with Pacquiao was to win by split decision for being the receiver of fatal blows from Manny. Get that? Bradley was given the win for still standing after round 12 despite the bombardment from the Filipino. The decision was a blackmark to boxing. It proves among other things that the matchup was fishy. Some say the 3 judges were not blind but paid.
