If I were CR Ross and Duane Ford, I would retire from being a boxing judge. They are the authors of the most infamous scoring in recent boxing history. I do not if they should even be allowed to judge 4 rounders.
If I were Bob Arum, I would do everything to make Pacquiao-Mayweather happen. He needs to save the face of Top Rank after the travesty that happened yesterday. If he truly wants to save boxing, he needs to make the biggest non-heavyweight match of all-time. If not, boxing will die and Arum will just be picking up pennies.
If I were Pacquiao, I would not sign up for a rematch against Bradley. What for? Rematch is for losers and if he wants to move on then he would let Bradley eat that WBO belt. It is time to take the high road and inform Arum that his plan of having a "Grand Theft" trilogy won't cut it.
If I were WBO, I would remove the sanctions of judges involved in the fight. WBO's name is tainted after what happened and one of their "World" title belts is deemed worthless. If they want their organization to thrive, they have to show the public that they are indeed serious and not a pseudo-WWE.
If I were Bradley, I would concede the fight. Being the winner of the biggest heist in boxing is not going to help him get bigger fights. It will forever put his record in doubt. It is like having an asterisk in your records.
If I were an adviser of Pacquiao, I would strongly suggest to Manny that he should start making plans of his own rather than be a puppet of Arum. Arum is probably looking for a replacement of Manny at his own expense. He should be wary and pick the right opponents if possible not from Top Rank.
If I were a friend and family of Manny, I would keep him company in the coming weeks. The loss has not sunk in yet and definitely it will hurt and a good support system is important for recovery. He has changed his lifestyle and there could be a chance that he will try to revert to his old self. It is time to reassure and encourage him to survive this "test of faith".
If I were a serious boxing follower, I would BOYCOTT the planned rematch. Shame on you if you let them fool you twice. Good luck to Top Rank in their next events. It is like they are shooting Rocky II and Rocky III before Rocky I is being filmed. It is better to watch old Rocky movies than watching Pacquiao-Bradley II. lol
