pac still won round 5 imo..in fact i thought it was actually a big round for pac.

I don't think Bradley was running. He was just taking one step back to avoid the straight left.

Bradley didnt do sh't in this fight, even though I gave him 4 rounds just cause there were a few rounds in which Pacquiao didnt throw any punches. so it was more Pacquiao's inactivity that made me give those rounds to bradley.
but the story of the fight is bradley pretty much got schooled and if that wasnt a robbery, then WHAT IS A ROBBERY?

[any craic lad?]

I'm not claiming Bradley won the fight. Pacquiao clearly won for the reasons you mentioned. The only point I was trying to make was that Pacquiao barely landed anything in this specific round, yet compubox more than doubled the punches that Pacquiao landed. I still think that compubox overestimated the punches landed by Pacquiao in most rounds, but even then, his quality still made up for it most of the time. I don't think he had enough quality in this round to win this specific round though.

Totally agree i felt Manny won a competitive but clear win but compubox is a bull**** stat because fanboys use it for there agenda.For me its just a fun stat but nothing more

Pac could still beat Floyd, his power is unbelievable.

Freddie Roach has not taught Pacquiao anything. Pacquiao is still the same fighter he was 10 years ago. Defensively Pacquiao is poor and offensively he is very limited. Pacquiao is still a one-handed fighter.

Athletically, Pacquiao is slowing down and he has not knocked anyone out in a long time. A aging fighter who relies on his athleticism instead of his boxing skills will get exposed when their athletic prowess starts to decline. Can anybody say “Roy Jones?

I agree with much of what you have said here.

I keep hearing about Manny's "Manila Ice", but I also have not seen a two-handed fighter. I see a guy with an explosive straight left hand. And exceptional speed.

For someone who has had Manny for ten years or whatever, I have not seen evolution in Manny's game (due to his association with Roach).

Manny has good power. No doubt. I would be foolish to belittle Manny's power. But is Manny a good finisher? Esp at 147?

Here is Pac's record since the Hatton knockout:

• Cotto: 11.9 rounds
• Clottey: 12 rounds
• Margarito: 12 rounds
• Mosley: 12 rounds
• Marquez: 12 rounds
• Bradley: 12 rounds

Plus, Manny has one knockdown in the past 70-ish rounds. Is that a finisher?

Just looking at this objectively.

I don't think Bradley was running. He was just taking one step back to avoid the straight left.

So dont have the audacity to say Pac dont fight for 3 mins of each round. Chasing an opponent who dont want to engage, when before the fight said he would take it to pac, is trying to fight. If pac didnt want to fight, hed stand on the spot in the middle of the ring and Bradley would be hiding in the corner.

And to person who said Pac isnt a finisher. Pac is fighting at a higher weight now and historically you cant blow guys out. He is still gaining the respect of his opponents with his power though.

[HELLRAZAH]

damn black people really got it in for manny.. is it becoz you have hardly any champions left lol

I dont do that 2nd replay thing. After reading the forums and building up specific bias, you're gonna score rounds differently then before

This shows with almost everybody having it a closer fight then when viewing it live. Why is that?

Not to mention people seem to have this notion that Bradley was ever really stunned or hurt, and I never saw it.

me either. his legs were always good except for when his ankle would give.
