Bradley has learned a LOT from this fight - can win the rematch (without controversy)

It's possible but I doubt it. If anything, Pacquiao's confidence grows and he focuses on putting him away rather than trying to fight picture perfect rounds.

 

You're confused here. I didn't say Timmeh won. I said he managed to have some effectiveness.

 

Bradley has no chance.

 

Please. While not every jab has to land, it is not good, effective jabbing if you are landing less than 20% of those you throw. In terms of scoring, jabs that don't land aren't counted at all, so if you aren't landing those you really have to get in the power punches - and Bradley just didn't do that.

 

Its quotes like this that makes me realize how blinded people. In the sports bar I was in last night, the place cheered every time pac threw a power shot whether or not it was blocked.

Bradley landed alot of significant shots, counter left hooks and body shots.

I agree bradley did lose. To be honest, I could find five rounds to give bradley.

 

Jabs have more than one purpose, but like I said, if you aren't landing any of 'em, you aren't doing your job right. Bradley landed below 20% as far as I could make out and as he wasn't exactly ripping in the power punches, that is a clear indicator that he had big problems getting into the fight. While compubox isn't the be all and end all of boxing, they certainly do trump the wild claims of random, biased fans on this forum.

 

Bradley threw a ****-ton of shots (more than 800 according to compubox), so of course he landed a few. It was very few, though, as he just couldn't seem to time Manny properly. I thought he gave a good effort, but was largely ineffective.

 

Bradley was only hurt in 2 rounds. 4 and 5th. I don't know what other 2 rounds you think he was hurt in.

As far as who won the rounds, I saw Bradley jab landing consistently and Pacquiao being backed up in some instances, countered in some instanced, pressed against the ropes and punched to the body. I guess compubox doesn't count all the body punches Bradly landed? Pac was headhunting all night yet apparently has no power because look at Bradley's face.

 

What punch did Pacquiao land consistently?

 

And that is exactly why Pacquiao will lose. That is why he lost this fight. He was loading up going for the knock out instead of just touching Bradley up and going for points. Bradley was just touching Pacquiao up and going for points.

 

I thought he had success with a number of different punches, specifically his left hook and the straight left which seemed to buzz and hurt Bradley several times and landed at a decent % throughout.

 

Perhaps you should review the rules

Fights are evaluated on 4 things:

*Clean Punching

*Effective Aggressiveness

*Ring Generalship

*Defense

Jabs that don't land definitely aren't going to win anyone clean punching points. But if they manage to control distance then they meet the other 3 criteria, and end up being effective.

 

Bradley didnt have a single decisive round. He was wobbling and playing with matches every other round. He doesnt have anything figured out except his soon to be bank account balance.

 

Just exactly when in the fight did you see Bradley do any of that?

 

His jab served him well in in the championship rounds. many times emmanuel would just stand there
