Lawyer Romulo Macalintal

MANILA, Philippines – Lawyer Romulo Macalintal, who personally watched the Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley fight Sunday at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, wants an investigation into the controversial split decision.

Interviewed over Radyo Inquirer 990AM on Monday, Macalintal doubted even the judge who scored in favor of Pacquiao.

“Dalawang puntos lang ang lamang niya kay Bradley. Sabi ko, dapat may investigation ang Nevada [Athletic] Commission kung bakit ganito ang resulta. We are entitled to a credible result,” he said when interviewed over  Radyo Inquirer 990AM on Monday.

Macalintal recounted seeing his seatmate during the bout, “Bourne Legacy” actor Jeremy Renner, shook his head in disbelief when Bradley was declared the winner.

Even the actor, the lawyer said, was so sure that Pacquiao won the fight.

Boxing analysts as well as majority of the viewers at the MGM Grand Arena were also convinced that Pacquiao would be named the winner, he said.

Macalintal feared that the controversial decision could result in lower viewership of future boxing fights.

    MAFIA IS INVOLVED IN THE PACMAN VS. BRADLEY FIGHT

    People, let us pause for a minute. In America, we support Americans, We have a policy: Buy American! So those stupid judges just did their stupid jobs. It was deplorable in every angle. Manny can kill Bradley if he want to. The problem with Pacman, he read to much bible. Sa susunod niyan, he will claim he talk to god and that will be the end of him. Naluluko ng mga advisors niya at ang mga pare pinaniwalaan niya. Priest have more sins that pacman, he should realize that.

    To ensure accuracy who really won the fight,ask those judges and Sports comissioners to watch and playback video of Pacquiao-Bradley match by SLOW MOTION MOVE!…Take note of every punch being delivered and landed!

       Everyone in boxing world knew Manny won except for Bradley’s relatives and die-hard friends and the 3 stupid judges. Even Bradley did not give a convincing answer and said  he wanted to see the video himself when asked immediately seconds after decision was handed down. Deplorable! This is not a surprise in Nevada. Illegal anywhere in the USA are legal in Nevada. What do you expect.

    PACMAN = CORONA,  walang magagalit!  Ang mga judges nabibili at naliligawan ng ruling party.

    You must have lost huge amount Atty. Mac.First,you will file a complaint if there’s an aggrieved client who will hire your services.
    Secondly your knowledge of Law may not be applicable in Las Vegas.The match was fixed by Bob Arum and if the 3 blind mice will testify that they based their score out of their honest judgement,nothing will ever happen on the investigation.Boxing Sport will never be the same again for as long as The Thief Executive of Top Rank Bogus Promotion is involved.Next time don’t place your bet.cheers.

       You made a good point. Prior to the fight Arum was leaning toward Bradley winning it, he said he believed it, then said he like an investigation. BS Arum. All you want is money, that was your first word after the fight. That you will make more money in the rematch. He want to make it looked like he has nothing to do with it, so he was the first one to blame the judges. Chicken makes noise before laying eggs. That’s Arum. Let us not buy PPV! Let us not watch any boxing promoted by arum.
