Manny Pacquiao Vs Timothy Bradley 2 & Undercards Master Discussion Thread

[kiaba360]

Marquez, if Marquez will fight him.

Seeing as how #4 was the most eventful, #5 basically sells itself.

dude was too busy showboating

I think Tim was showboating with a purpose. He was either gassed from loading up, hurt, or just not right, and he was trying to goad Pacquiao into a big counter. I didn't like it, but it seemed pretty obvious to me.

Here are my next day thoughts:
- The fight must have been pretty OK because the forums still seem punch drunk to me.
- Manny really didn't seem to be able to get into war mode for the first 1/3rd of the fight. Independently of what Tim did, Manny really has to work on being able to flip that switch.
- Tim was actually serious about trying to KO Pac. I guess he really didn't think he'd get it on the cards because that was a bad plan. I said yesterday before the fight that when Tim tries to throw with power he really telegraphs his shots. He did better trying to throw like that compared to other times I've seen him try, but it wasn't that much better and it seemed to gas him pretty good.
- My god Tim's feet were atrocious in the last half of the fight.
- I'll finally buy talk about Pac's 'big' noticeable decline. He still clearly beat what is probably the #3 welter in his prime, in a fight where he couldn't seem to get into war mode for the first 4 rounds or so. Anybody saying how he should avoid JMM is out to lunch (I'll keep Floyd out of it).
- Tim seems like a pretty decent and steady guy, and I'm glad he wants to be more fan friendly, but he has to find a better balance between 'Old Tim' and 'Warrior Tim'. I'll give him a pass on the clowning because I think that was tactical.
- That undercard was actually acceptable. It could have used some more KO, but at least I felt like I got my money's worth. Guys just rolling into a bar for the main event might not care, but I like to feel like I got my PPVs worth. At least there was no Tor Hammer type stuff, and the fights were good and competitive.

Ugh, I really don't want to see that. I'm so sick of Pacquiao and Marquez fighting each other. Let them cash out against the rest of the TR stable.

Really enjoyed the whole card,very good fights last night..

I was not disappointed in the main event which was the best thing..I thought the fight was close Bradley and Pac really let it all hang out..I really believe Bradley should have kept the injury to himself..He lost last night fair and square..If he was injured tho it must have been when he trip over Pac's leg and fell into the ropes..

I also don't understand why Bradley fought Pac like he did..He did not show any angles,I liked it..It made for a fun fight,but if he wanted to win it he should have showed Pac different looks..Be aggressive and also show him movement..I thought Pac looked good(not great)but good..I would not mind seeing him fight Marquez next..That'd be fun..Or even a Bradley rematch somewhere down the line..I thought both of their fights were entertaining..

Vargas looked good,but still does not look ready for the big stage..I think it's time to sink or swim with him..

Beltran looked really good,and has gained some interest to him fight Crawford which should be fun and a great opportunity for both fighters..

Vasquez looks like Hoya's son..This is everything I got from yesterdays card..

I have not watch the fight back,have to go out..Can't wait to do so and give a scorecard..

The server probably got slammed during the fight, and is still probably under heavy traffic.

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.

I don't agree with the highlighted..I do however agree Bradley is not easily going to be stopped..Pac not stopping Bradley is not a knock on Pac at all..Him beating him clearly imo is a nice feather in his cap..
