SPLIT DECISION TAKES
DOWN BOXING CHAMP
Manny Pacquiao’s seven-year winning streak
came to an end marked by booing and outrage
after a split decision among the fight’s judges
handed the match to his opponent, Timothy
Bradley. The Filipino fighter appeared to be
winning when two of the three judges scored
the match in Bradley’s favor. Boxing promoter
Bob Arum, who represents both fighters,
called for an outside investigation into the
results. “I have never been ashamed, as much,
to be associated with the sport of boxing as I
am tonight,” he said.

SPAIN
BAILOUT
RAISES
CONCERNS
After European finance ministers
agreed on a $125 billion bailout for
Spanish banks last weekend, market
prognosticator “zerohedge” noted
on Twitter on Monday morning that
not everyone was ready to believe that
the country’s (and Europe’s) financial
woes were resolved. “Spain 10-Yr
Yield Rises to 6.5%, Biggest Increase
in a Month. Did the market not get
the bailout memo?” he noted.
