Rigged Victory?

Last Sunday, we witnessed live via pay per view the Dream Match between Dela Hoya and Pacquiao with our butts and back lie comfortably in a theater seating. And we saw how the dream match became a nightmare for the Golden Boy as the Pacman skillfully reduced the height and reach advantage of the legendary fighter to pieces.

Unfortunately, some suggested that the fight was rigged. I was checking my email when I came accross a thread lambasting Dela Hoya for not giving a decent fight, but fell short of accusing the Pacquiao camp of involvement.  I lost a lunch because I routed for Dela Hoya, though I wanted Manny to win.

But should we rob Manny the recognition he deserved for winning lopsidedly because the other fighter fell short of the expectation?
