On another level my a$$. I'd like the genius that figured that to tell me how. The hype has been exposed & people just need to go ahead & admit that ol *****e.

Fact is Bradley got injured early in the fight, took Pacman's best shots then turned the fight around in the championship rounds & gave a decent account of himself, (injured & all).

Did he win, nope. But he did stay in front of Pacman,(with no legs). He did manage to take it to the champ in the championship rounds too. Remember if Holt can put Bradley down Pacman ko's him. Well he couldn't. An injured jr welterweight stood in there with him & took the champ rounds.

I can't wait for the rematch, (it will happen). I can't wait to see Bradley turn & counter him & take the left hand away. (That's all Pacman had). Another level?? Nahh, cause no damn china chinned face 1st brawler dropped twice by Holt should last 12 with the greatest boxer active......................unless Bradley's that good, or Pacman isn't as good as you all thought.

nah brad didnt have to use his evasive tactics like he knew hed have to against pacq. To his credit his conditioning helped alot with his head movement in exchanges. Hes actually more mature now, than against holt. But he didnt injure himself trying to get away from holt either! Nor did he fight pacq the same way he fought holt! Yes pacq is slowing down a bit. But it doesnt have anything to do with him not knocking ppl out! Thats to credit the two great veterans mosley and jmm for a solid blue print on how to fight pacq. Thats how bradley survived this fight. By his youth,condition,his will,and the previous guys pattern! But bradley still lost regardless. Aswell, imo roach had pacq trainning strictly for a comeforward fight. Not expecting brad to copy jmm. And it showed. I expect better prep on both teams in the rematch, but still dont see "anything new" bradley can do. But i do see pacq beating bradley by an even wider margin next time. Knowing what bradleys bringing! Expect more lunging left hooks, instead of left straights, and more circling right, lighter weigh in, and alot of energy. Pacq has a chip on his shoulder now.

It's pretty much universal opinion that Bradley lost, so I don't think that needs mention. But other than that I find it laughable that you think Pacman does better against a healthy Bradley. Pacman fights 1 way. Coming forward looking to exchange. Pacman doesn't have more footspeed than Bradley & he isn't gonna circle him. I expect Bradley to box him silly in the rematch. He might lounge with hooks & wiff all night. He's gonna tire & he's gonna follow in straight lines, just like he always has.

you may be right, but we'll just have to wait and see. Imo bradley was down 3rds before the foot injury anyways! And besides i didnt see any affects or problems bradley was having even after the foot in the 4th! He didnt fight like a fighter who had 2 injured feet! And again. Gotta remember how the injuries occurred! After getting tagged, he was trying to get away. Just dont see how brads gonna handle a more determined better prepared pacq! Cuz there wasnt anything to get to excited about with bradleys performance. Cept his youth and will.

Well I never said Bradley badly injured himself but he was in a wheelchair after the fight with a cast on it later (4 days laters to be exact when he did that interview that's posted in another thread). Obviously it wasn't a fracture because if it was he wouldn't be standing.



No if Pacquiao was still a beast he would have found a way to corner or cut him off from running as you say and stop him. But he didn't he never even dropped Bradley. Mosley ran so much and still ended up getting dropped. He couldn't even drop an older Marquez who was dropped by him 4 times before!! Take it for what is is - Manny is slowing down.

No doubt no doubt, he is slowing down. He doesn't throw the same amount of punches as he use too, but why do he does he always have to make a fight an actual fight? I saw him cutting the ring off a couple of times and you can tell he was getting aggravated by Bradley running so much throwing that fake jab. PAC was hitting Tim with some hard flush shots, it doesn't mean he don't have his same power, it means Bradley can take a damn punch. Just like Carl froch, Taylor droped him and Tim also got dropped once. It's a fact that PAC is slowing down but he is still a must see fighter when he fights becuz there will be a fight rather the guy is running or just chilling trying to counter

blah blah bla boxingscene that fight was no more lopsided than jmm vs pac 3 save the hypocrisy outrage noone gives a shaiaat its justice and karma for the JMM robberry stop acting like its ok to rob JMM but not Manny its pathetic...

[Phantomas]

good read. bradley is good fighter, but pac's just on a different level

Not in all aspects, he got outsmarted again. Gassed out trying to ko the moving target, came with nothing left to the very important twelfth round.
