Bradley’s Manager: They didn't want Tim to win. He was the underdog – Boxing News
While most people believe that Bradley’s split decision win over Manny Pacquiao was fixed, his manager believes his win was fair. Bradley’s manager Cameron Dunkin believes his fighter was an underdog for the fight and if it was fixed than Pacquiao should
have won.
He added, “I know Tim's very grateful that he won. He has nothing to do with the decision. There's nothing corrupt going on, and if there was something corrupt going on, Tim wouldn't have won. They didn't want Tim to win. He was the underdog. He wasn't supposed
to win, and he won, and the judges saw it that way. They gave him those real close rounds.”
Dunkin has repeatedly said that Bradley was at his best and he had beaten Pacquiao fair and square. However, analysts and fighters all around the world believe the fight was fixed or the judges were not competent enough to score the fight. Amir Khan, former
WBA and IBF champion and a close partner of Manny Pacquiao, believes it was a robbery for Pacquiao and has challenged Bradley to the ring.
Similarly, Oscar de la Hoya, who suffered a knockout defeat at the hands of Manny Pacquiao, believes Pacquiao won the fight by 11-1. According to Hoya, Bradley should have given the title to Pacquiao if he knew he had lost.
Even Floyd Mayweather sr., who is usually opposing Pacquiao, believes Pacquiao defeated Bradley. According to him, it was a one-sided brawl and Pacquiao was the dominant force in the ring.
For now, the WBO and the NSAC will inquire the fight results to see if Bradley actually had won. Bob Arum, promoter for both the fighters, believes Pacquiao won 11 out of 12 rounds of the fight. Arum was shocked and he said he has never been as ashamed of
the sport as he was after the fight ended. Arum has filed an appeal with the Nevada State Athletic Commission and the WBO to ensure the results were accurate. As of now, Arum has refused moving forward with a rematch, as he believes it is imperative to first
find out what went wrong on June 9.
