better or worse than the first 2 fights? Did Atlas do anything at all? Would he have lost regardless if he had trained with Diaz?
Damn, this forum is so hyperbolic. I think Bradley had his best performance of the three fights. The rounds were closer, and he managed to win some decisively. Pacquiao's style is just a nightmare for Bradley. I think Bradley should stay with Atlas. He showed some better stuff in that fight. He was a lot more disciplined and not off balanced, all over the place. Of course, he's Bradley and had his lapses, though.
This. Dude I swear people watched this on a stream or some ****. THis was an extremely close fight, Pac looked god AWFUL. The first knockdown was bs, and if Bradley didnt get caught the second time the decision was really up for grabs. I also think Atlas is a good fit with Atlas. Bradley came gunning out with pressure after Atlas pumped him up.
The first KD was entirely a balance issue on Bradley's part I think. But it was ruled correctly. Pacquiao hit him twice to cause his balance to give way. If Bradley goes to the canvas, and he got hit just before and while he was going to the canvas, then you can't take that KD away from Pacquiao.
Pacquiao grazed him with a hook and pivoted to Bradley's side which gave Bradley practically no room which caused him to touch the canvas with his gloves unbalanced. It should not have been a knockdown, it's Pac's pivot that caused Bradley to touch the canvas with his gloves not the punch. Not sure how the HBO commentators saw it, but the commentators here in Japan agree with me, and they suck pac's ****.
