Now, just a few days after the controversial Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley fight in Las Vegas, Reid wants there to be an investigation. After the judges' split decision made Bradley the winner, fans and boxing experts were outraged. And Reid wants answers. "I feel confident there's been nothing untoward," Reid told The Los Angeles Times on Tuesday. "But if an investigation makes everyone feel better, do the investigation. One of...

I remember boxing. I remember 1986, when I rooted for Marvin Hagler, only to see him lose a 12-round classic to Sugar Ray Leonard.
