A close fight that could have had either boxer considered a winner: Marquez vs Pacman last November. Personally I believe Marquez was winning since he was in control of the fight but the last few rounds where he stepped back and relaxed ruined the belt for him.

Tonight's win was not so much the judging of skill between two boxers as it was a game of making the most money from the sport. If they wanted to prolong Manny's stay in boxing (and Im not suggesting that it's Manny who wants this) then they should have given the win to Marquez last year (but they wouldnt cuz that would be too many Marquez vs Pacman rematches).

But Im not gonna put down Bradley. He tried his best, took those punches, and gave back what he could. He didnt back down, and he gave the last round as spectacular of a performance as he was able. He had undeniable spirit. Pacman's statements after the fight showed his maturity and gave glory to God which was the best thing to see and hear all night.

Whether this brings the Pacman vs Mayweather fight closer or farther apart, who knows. But it's pretty sure that after those two do fight, the interest in boxing will wane since we'll know the outcome of who's the best boxer in this generation (something I'm sure the uppers will try to prevent for as long as possible). I'm torn between wanting to see Manny fight as hard as he can for as long as he can while understanding that he's pretty much fought those worth fighting already except for Mayweather. (I still want a Marquez vs Manny rematch dangit)

Ah, I'll just sit back and enjoy watching Manny while I can.
