Add Reggie Bush's name to the chorus of voices who believe Manny Pacquiao was robbed in last weekend's WBO welterweight championship fight, which went to Timothy Bradley in a shocking split decision.
"Pacquiao won that fight hands down," Bush, who attended the bout in Las Vegas, said on NFL Network's NFL Total Access on Monday night. "Not a question."
The
Miami Dolphins tailback said he was already headed for the exits with
most of the other patrons when the unexpected result came down.
"Nobody
thought (otherwise)," said Bush. "Everybody was already leaving, nobody
thought to stick around. I was saying bye to people. I already knew in
my mind that he had won the fight. And when they announced that Bradley
had won, the whole stadium's face just kinda went white. It was kinda
like this awkward silence, everybody was kinda stunned. I was stunned. I
even stopped walking, I was in mid-stride, stopped walking, turned
around and to just double-check, 'Did that really just happen?'
"I just think it's kind of an injustice for Pacquiao. It's sad, and it sucks, but I think everybody knows he won that fight."
