I did. He used to be a whirlwind, throwing countless punches, walking through fire and dancing around the ring like a devil. He did none of those things. Pacquiao is slowing.

A little but not a ton. I thought he picked it up from JMM and Mosley and he's had a handful of methodical performances before where he builds to the KO. I thought he just looked often like he felt in control and though he had it all well in hand (he did IMO, and got super jacked). He boxed more than I've seen since MAB II

So I watched the fight a second time in native 720p, 60 fps video. Sound was muted to eliminate HBO bias. Here is my scorecard:

round 1: P(10), B(9)
round 2: P(9), B(10)
round 3: P(9), B(10)
round 4: P(10), B(9)
round 5: P(10), B(9)
round 6: P(9), B(10)
round 7: P(9), B(10)
round 8: P(10), B(9)
round 9: P(10), B(9)
round 10: P(9), B(10)
round 11: P(9), B(10)
round 12: P(9), B(10)

Total: 115-113 Bradley

Nowhere in the world you can give round 3 to Bradley, Pac caught him several times in the middle and got him pinned in the ropes at 2:30 with two perfectly hit left hooks, Bradley didn't hit Pac with anything similar in the 3rd.

damm if it werent for that broken ankle bradley would have knock pacman out cold!! i mean u can tell pac was going out bradley was hitting him at well but because of the broken ankle bradley couldnt put all his power into it. sucks because bradley was about to KO pac too!

I cant see giving bradley the first round. Nobody did anything the first 2 1/2 minutes of that round (if anything bradley won that part....but didnt do anything but stick his jab out). Pac's three hard lefts won him that round imo.

yah round 1 was a bit uneventful..it was looking good for bradley because like you said he was, for the most part, just sticking his jab out and being active. but pac i thought answered nicely with some straight lefts down to the body..but nearing the end of the round pac landed a few good hard straight lefts up top (the best punches of the round imo) which not only got bradley's attention but stole the round from him. so i scored it for pac.

If Bradley had Hatton's fans in the arena.....

when Bradley landed punches the crowd was silent !, if he had hatton's fans the crowd would have been going wild ! i think this affected many peoples scorecards on the night.

your thoughts ?

bradley was suppose to box pac's ears off is what i heard because a brawler will never beat a boxerr!! bradley was suppose to dance circles around the pacman and make him look confused in there... the only time the pacman looked confused was when the scorecard was announced LOL..

I think that had more to do with Bradley's movement. Manny is now completely flat-footed. His power and speed have diminished a tad as well. And the way he lost those championship rounds tells me the only thing that was building up was his fatigue.

[~AK49~]

I had Bradley winning round 1. The only thing Pac did in round 1 was land two punches at the end of the round. Bradley landed his jab early in the round and caught Manny on the ropes and landed a good combination. In my opinion, you don't win a round for two late punches.

Bradley landed a couple of....jabs. He did have a flurry, but nothing clean landed. Pac landed the hardest, cleanest, signature punches of that round with those three lefts. I dont see anything bradley did being able to compare to those.

When you watch a fight the second time, you are not susceptible to the biased announcers and caught up in the excitement. You do seem to see it with a better vantage point.

Personally, second time watching it i couldnt help but think 'how the hell did they give it to bradley'

[savorduhflavor]

Bradley is not slick, he's crafty. Like a less refined/skilled Andrew Ward.

I thought Bradley would try and smother Pacquiao more. He did a good job of cutting Pac's work rate down but Pac's accuracy was too high.

I honestly thought Bradley would look better, he looked more put off by Pac's explosiveness than I expected.

the problem is that kids like jaestix1 dont know jack about boxing. they watch 2 fights on TV, then come on internet forums and act like they know boxing. u dont know sh't buddy. S H ' T.
if Zab Judah isnt a slick fighter, then neither is Pernell Whitaker or Floyd Mayweather. Learn boxing, at least 10 years,watch thousands of fights, read books, read ****zines, and THEN talk boxing with a guy like myself. Cause I watched thousands of fights over the course of around 20 years, read books, studied boxing and boxing history and I just laugh when a wanka like yourself comes around the corner to tell me Zab Judah is not a slick boxer.
