Good win by Pacquaio today. Not 'great' but a good, solid win over one of the best Welters in the world. After the first 6 rounds, that fight was close. Far too close for an ATG like Pacquiao. Bradley put up a hell of a fight. He boxed well, countered well and fought with his true boxing ability for the first half of the fight. However, Pacquiao is a hell of a fighter. It is sad to see him gun shy, lacking the power he has always had and far to easy to hit. He knocked Bradley down twice, not with his power but with his countering ability. If Pacquiao sticks to his word and retires, I have nothing but respect for what Pacquiao has achieved in his career. People can say what they want, he fought the best at his time, he fought people when he was the underdog, he was countered out against many and changed the face of asian fighters on the world of boxing forever.
I agree that Pac should retire and go out on this win. Lots of respect from me for what he accomplished in boxing.
I think it's a great win to end a career on. I thought pac looked bad for the first 4. but he showed moments of being elite still. I dont see many good fights for him that will draw money that he will win as easy
Pac looked good. He was gun shy but he fought smart. As far as the fight being "far too close", Tim has never lost to anyone but Pacquiao and tim is is a world class fighter. It is funny though outside of the two knockdowns I think this was the closest fight of them all. First fight was the widest margin for pac. Second was a clear victory. Tonight was closer if you take out the knockdowns. I miss the pac of old who pressed relentlessly.
