Butt of course Tim Bradley could beat Manny Pacquiao

Now I know why how this fresh young pup Tim Bradley would beat Pinoy Idol Manny Pacquiao.

Read that again, because yes I did scribble "beat Manny Pacquiao" because I know now how the undefeated WBO 140 pound champion could vanquish Pacman.

Ridiculous, you say? Butt of course, "Desert Storm" Bardley could do it using the same intentional butt, billygoat tactics he did to get an absurd three round KO over tired veteran Nate Campbell Saturday night in Rancho Mirage, Ca.

This was a night of quitters and butters on Showtime and, when I say butters, I don't mean the margarine kind.

In the opening TV bout, former world champion Junior "Hitter: Witter turned into "Quitter" by refusing to fight at the end of eight rounds. Thank you, said 22 year old Devon Alexander, who went home to St. Louis with the green and gold WBC title strap he's been dreaming of for 15 years.

In the nightcap, staged in Bradley's Palm Springs area backyard, Bradley pretty much pummeled a bone dry Campbell, age 37 and showing his mileage.

Bradley, age 25, moves his record to 25-0, 12 KOs but this knockout has a odiferous asterisk next to it. Campbell falls to 33-6-1.

It's not the fact that the younger, stronger Bradley won.

What is important sickening is that referee David Mendoza, working his 11th world title bout, blew it.

May I suggest that Mendoza change his first name to Homer after this hometown call or, more accurately, this hometown no call.

A bad gash over one of Campbell's eyes was clearly caused by Bradley ramming his shaved skull into it.

This fight should have been called a no contest under WBO rules when Campbell went back to his corner,was looked at by the ringside doctor and told his trainers and the physician that he could not see clearly out of the affected eye.

"Spots in your eyes?" the California commission doctor said. "Then that's it."

In a very weak explanation, Mendoza told Showtime that there was a head butt but said both fighters were butting and that a Bradley punch followed the glaring head butt before blood came from Campbell's eye.

The head butt came first, then the punch and then the blood. This was you might say painfully obvious in the Showtime replays.

The sequence was not punch, blood, head butt. It was head butt, punch, blood.

"This is wrong! This is wrong!" Campbell kept saying.

And he is right, it was wrong but even if it gets changed to a no contest these two will never fight again.

Bradley is a rising star, he looked like he was going to overwhelm Campbell.

Campbell is now toasted when it comes to landing HBO or Showtime bouts.

Too bad Bradley didn't finish his job using only his gloves.

It's this kind of inept officiating which causes people to disavow or to never embrace boxing.

Intentional or accidental, that part of the ruling did not matter, this one should have been called no contest/no decision.

Could I be wrong?

Butt of course not.

If Bradley played in the NFL, he would have to play for, you guessed it, the Rams.
