Manny Pacquiao Vs Timothy Bradley 2 & Undercards Master Discussion Thread

[dibzvincent143]

I've been gone for a year from NSB and it's really heartbreaking to read all the immature comments. Some even watch the fight over a phone, others even just read it on a round by round article, but were so ultra sure by their judgments. Like WTF. If I didn't watch the fight 3 times today I would've made exactly the same comments. Maybe I was also too critical and was asking a lot from the pacman. I thought he was already gassed out by round 5 and anytime he could be JMM'd again.

But when I rewatched it, Pacquiao did actually fine and it was a good performance at this stage of his career. He was never in trouble except for that right hand on round 4. It was an exciting fight. He beat a solid caliber fighter out of Bradley. If anything, this fight should only add more respect to the pacman, considering every detail there is. Not being blinded by hate.

Kudos also to bradley for actually pushing it. Never saw it coming, i thought he would fight a slick and discipline fight.

Great fight. Great for boxing. I'm happy pacquiao won.

I'm shocked at the comments. I really enjoyed the fight.

Timothy Bradley isn't a pure boxer. People need to get that out of their heads. He's an athlete that boxes in spurts. He doesn't have a "style". He adjusts to whatever you bring to the table and relies on his instincts. He boxed well in the first round, but in the second, after he got caught with 2 straight left hands, his instinct was to attack. You can say "he should have kept boxing" but that's not who he is.

Rounds 4 and 5 he did well again and even stunned Pac once. But that was probably a bad thing because he all of the sudden thought he was Lucas Matthysse. He blew his load in the 4th and 5th and just disappeared the second half of the fight. It was 116-112/115-113 for Pac with a few close rounds that could have stretched Manny's lead a little further.

Pacquiao isn't '08-09 form but he's a smarter and more intelligent fighter that still has solid power, accuracy and sets up his shots well. This new style will be better suited for him as he gets older and continues to fight.

Bottom line is Pacquiao is the better fighter period. More experience, better technique, better boxing IQ, better speed and power, better footwork. Bradley is an athlete with boxing gloves but athleticism and determination isn't enough to beat the Mayweather's and Pacquiao's of the world.

Bradley was looking for that one big punch to end the fight, I think because that's the way Marquez did it he tried to replicate it, when he was hanging on the ropes he just seemed to try and land a big bomb in between Pacquiao's flurries, I only saw it from round 4 onwards so not sure how the first three rounds went.

Even though Pacquiao looked good last night, he was getting caught by shots he wouldn't have been caught from a few years back, I've pretty much always thought Mayweather would beat Pacquiao should they ever fight but after last night I'm even more sure Pacquiao loses to Mayweather.

Good win for Manny though, he got his redemption, I've always been a Tim Bradley fan and wanted him to win both fights, but Manny definitely won both fights in my eyes.

First, I will like to say congratulations to Manny Pacquiao and his fans on a very spirited and deserving effort. Without question, He was simply just the better man and I tip my hat to him. Moreover, I was more than impressed with his overall amount of passion, zeal and vigor he displayed in his victory over Timothy Bradley.

Moreover, I admit that he proved me wrong. He is a much better fighter at this point of his career, than I had originally given him credit for and because of it I apologize. If any one wants to question whether Pac has the same level of passion, dedication and drive that he once had for a sport, in which he has dominated over the past ten years, then I suggest they witness the fight he fought last last night against one of the top P4P fighters in the world, where he showed lot's of hunger and desire. He was superb.

So congratulations champ and here's wishing you much success in all your future endeavors.

Bradley fought wrong gameplan. He should have boxed from get- go then pressured

[Evol]

I don't get why people keep saying PAC is done, is too scared?? Wtf do u want PAC to do? Walk in face first to get smash for u to say he still got it? Lol. Yall some dumb mofo. PAC just beat a young in his prime fighter, PAC made Bradley look like an amature in there.

Why do u guys think bradley abandon his game plan? U think someone doing great at his game plan is just gonna throw it out the window for nothing?? Bradley went on full ****** mode because PAC neutralize whatever Bradley brought to the table. To say bradley lost the fight himself more so than PAC beating him is pure hatred.

PAC is the not the same throwing 100+ per rounds but we knew that going into this fight so why is this a suprise? PAC stopped throwing 100+ per rounds since 4-5 fights ago already. Why do people act like this is something that was done overnight? Dude picks his shots more precise now, could this be because he's slowing down, it's possible. It could also be because he doesn't want to get reckless and careless when he's clearly winning the fight already.

And PAC giving Bradley his props at the end, when did PAC ever not give his opponent his respect after the fight? Saying PAC is done because he admitted Bradley hurt him? lol. PAC says this about his opponents all the time after the fight. In the rios fight PAC even said rios hurt him, this is just manny being manny, don't look so hard into it.

PAC is not in his prime and his better days is surely behind him now but he can still very much compete at this high level. Gotta remember Bradley is not an easy guy to hit, his upper body/head movements is what made PAC look like he's old when in reality Tim was just showing a lot of good movements. When has anyone ever made Bradley look like that in the ring? And u guys is saying PAC is done lmao!!

When PAC was throwing 100+ per rounds, his opponents was coming straight at him. It's harder now to throw 100 + per rounds when PAC have to chase his opponent down and it's hard to look good doing so in the process. When PAC was throwing 100+ haters say that's the result of perfect match making with come foward guys, when PAC fight guys who don't come foward and is reduce to throwing less per rounds, haters say PAC is done? lol. The hate is strong.

So who's on the agenda for Pac?

[Evol]

Bradley is a tough guy to put away, PAC made him look like a kid in there. People is banking on the ko too much and when it didn't come, it's because PAC is done. Totally ignoring the fact that Bradley has never put out, ward even said Bradley is one of the toughest guy he has ever fought and that was in the am.

So who's on the agenda for Pac?

Marquez, if Marquez will fight him.
