    How did no one at ringside manage not to see Bradley was injured? He was clearly going backwards the second half of the fight and wasn't able to put full pressure on his leg.

    BTW I'm not using this as an excuse for Bradley. It's fault he was injured. He was swinging for the fences and was off balance from the first bell. I'm just surprised no one was commenting on it...

    HBO knows whose crank they'll be yanking beforehand. They were with Bradley when he fought JMM and they were with Pacquiao when he fought Bradley.

    Bradley brought up the injury, it appears that Bradley only gets injuries whenever he fights Pac...........

    It's all the more surprising since Roy Jones was commentating. Roy has x-rays eyes and certainly should have seen the fracture.

    I thought this too while watching the fight. It was blatantly obvious after it happened.

    I actually thought it was his ankle/s again. I told the mrs that his leg is ****ed. Manny is going to take advantage of this! He did...but not in the way i thought he would.

    Kellerman and Lampley were too busy gushing over PAC to notice.

    I just thought he blew his load moving his head too much or throwing haymakers.

    When I found out he hurt it legs, it made sense and I could see it. The thing is, he keep injuring himself with his wild movement. If he fights Pacquiao 10 times and gets injured 10 times, then oh well.

    If you're in a fight and you pull a muscle and can't continue, then that's a TKO loss

    I noticed something was wrong with his leg in the 5th or 6th round. I too thought it was odd that no one commented on it. I texted it to a buddy of mine mid fight and was not surprised at all when Bradley mentioned it.

    when joel was chewing tim out for slacking up after rds 5 & 6 he told him his leg was hurt. bradley is to muscular and with all the ducking and dogging he was doing i can see him pulling a muscle or a ligament in his leg. or he might have had a leg cramp or charlie horse. it is what it is what can he do about it, he did the best he could and it was good effort from him. a lot better then then his 1st fight with pacquiao.

    Pacquiao also said he has leg cramps. Are they even now?

    You're right, I forgot about that. He said something like, "Forget your leg. Do you f*cking want to go home right now?"

    Not a Bradley fan but it really does seem like that injury seriously effected his performance.

    Did it to himself, the first round he looked good. From there he was throwing wild punches from awkward angles and off balance. Then he just went down hill, Bradley shot himself in the foot trying to come out and ko Pacquiao. Pacquiao is hard to deal with because of his speed and movement, you beat speed with timing. Bradley couldn't time PAC for nothing, if you can't time him then get off first. When Bradley got off first he won rounds and kept Pacquiao at bay. Once he ease off Pacquiao just went to work with little concern.

    Bradley claimed he had an injury in their first fight. Bradley only has injuries when he fights Pac.............
