Mitten's face when Manny Pacquiao was knocked out:


“@BryanAGraham: PIC: @MittRomney's face when Manny Pacquiao was knocked out.) (via @lesamoursmusic)”

That's Mitten's real look when he saw the final election returns.
That was one hell of a punch, and Manny left himself wide open. He was leading on all cards until then.

... I am guessing he lost some serious money on that fight.

And Manny had been knocked down already. Not too far from that to the last punch. He was leaving himself open too many times.

what just happened in that clip? What is the fucking point of watching two guys beat each other bloody, and then end the fight with such a sad sight as that man lying unconscious on the floor?

10. You obviously opened the thread. Why did you open the thread?

If you don't like boxing, don't watch it and DON'T OPEN THE THREAD!

I guess I'm a barbarian because I like watching two guys who have trained for months box each other. They get paid handsomely for it and they are not Roman slaves forced into a lion's den to fight to the death.

I have no qualms about it at all.

i don't watch it, and i opened the thread because the subject "Mitt's face" intrigued me. The guy is such a freak, I didn't know what to expect as a reaction from him. I didn't realize there was a video loop running inside the thread.

12. The words "Manny Pacquiao" were also in the OP's thread title.

There is always the chance that when video is available, people will post it. There was no video in the OP so you had to continue reading the thread even after you knew it was about Mitt being at a BOXING match. You knew and you kept going and then you cried foul about it.

I am sympathetic to your aversion to boxing but for you to know the OP was referring to a boxing match that Mitt was attending, you continued and then proceeded to clutch at your pearls and got the vapors. It's your fault you were subjected to the video.
