Arum wants judges to be investigated

Bob Arum of Top Rank promotions  said that the decision made by the judges was the worst he have ever seen in his 47 years in boxing.  He said he will ask the Attorney General of Nevada to investigate the fight’s three judges and the Nevada State Commission. The decision handed the Filipino boxing icon his first loss after 15 straight victories. Controversy has hounded the decision, with millions of Pacquiao fans expressing outrage and disgust and the social media overheating with reports that the fight was fixed. Two of the judges, CJ Ross, and Duane Ford, each scored it 115-113 for Bradley and the third, Jerry Roth, had it 115-113 for Pacquiao. Arum said even Roth’s scoring was incomprehensible. Arum said Pacquiao had such a dominating showing that he didn’t even think of checking the judges’ score sheets. “It’s my practice to look at the scores each fight but last night, I never even bothered because I thought that Manny had won,” said the 80-year-old Arum, a cum laude graduate of Harvard Law School. “This has been the worst decision I have ever seen in my 47 years in boxing,” he said. Nobody from among who covered the fight on press row had Bradley winning and when Michael Buffer made the announcement, everyone was shocked and boos reverberated in the 16,800-seat MGM Grand Arena.  Even the famous celebrities have posted in their twitter account the disappointment and dissatisfaction with the fight.  They are looking forward for a rematch and last we heard was Arum was planning to have a rematch but after the probe is done.-  (Mania Bulletin)
