Re: Pacquiao-Bradley: The gifs thread
Other than clean effective punching, an important thing that I'm looking when scoring a round is : who is fighting his fight. Bradley looked like an amateur at times. Pulling 2 or 3 fast jab in the air (Alexander and Judah style) without any intention to punch THROUGH the target. Each time Pacquiao cornered him, Bradley got WILD in his footwork and once again looked like an amateur trying to escape. All this, while Pacquiao left hands was landing regularly. I also noticed a lot of short right hooks from Pacquiao that seemed to went unnoticed. Really really good fight from the Pacman. Probably his best since the Hatton fight.
Khan lost some rounds to Peterson on my card for the same reason Bradley lost many rounds in this fight. They looked like amateur trying to escape, when under pressure. I had Pacquiao 118-110 and I was rooting for Bradley before the fight...
