Timothy Bradley Jr. was awarded the welterweight title over Manny Pacquiao in a controversial decision that had twitter in all caps and sent #RIPBoxing trending worldwide. Two of the three judges had Bradley winning by two points, although evidently everyone else in the world had Pacquiao winning easily. In other news, people actually watch boxing.
