Election lawyer Romulo Macalintal, who was in Las Vegas last June 9 to watch the Pacquiao-Bradley fight, sent an e-mail yesterday, informing us that he has filed a letter-complaint addressed to Catherine Cortez Masto, Office of the Attorney General, State of Nevada.
The ripples from Timothy Bradley’s controversial split-decision victory over Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao spread Monday as two US senators called for a national body to govern boxing.
A Filipino lawyer has filed a complaint before the Nevada Attorney General’s Office questioning the result of the Manny Pacquiao -Timothy Bradley fight.
There was none of the usual hero’s welcome for world boxing champion and Rep. Manny Pacquiao. Still, people lined up to see him.
THIS time there was absolutely no fanfare when Manny returned home from a fight, Manny himself chose to dispense with the usual hero’s welcome, explaining that he had to head straight to Sarangani as early as he can because he had to help the flood victims of his province.
There will be no reversal, but the World Boxing Organization still wants to find out whether the three judges at ringside for the Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley showdown Saturday night did their job right or bungled it big time.
Of course, Timothy Bradley should not be blamed for the boxing anomaly that took place in Las Vegas over the weekend.
If the rematch happens, well and good. If it doesn’t so be it.
Following the controversial victory of American boxer Timothy Bradley against Filipino ring icon Manny “PacMan” Pacquiao for the welterweight crown in Las Vegas over the weekend, most of the respondents of the recently concluded INQUIRER.net poll said they weren’t in favour of the judges’ decision.
The top US senator said Tuesday he backs a probe into the split decision giving Timothy Bradley a win over Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao, but said he believed there was “nothing untoward” in the scoring.
“Ring announcer Michael Buffer could not believe what he saw on the results sheet,” nursing assistant Elsa Mole from Connecticut excitedly recounted her story to The FilAm. “He was hesitant to announce Timothy Bradley as the WBO welterweight champion.”
Is Manny Pacquiao’s gas tank half-full? Or is it half-empty?
