    Joe Cortez after the fight said that Bradley could have been overtrained for this fight, that he could have left his stamina on the gym,

    what do you guys think? I was very surprised to see tim gassing out on the 4th round.. which he was on Great shape(bodybuilder physique) so joe could have been right..

    Joe Cortez should shut his mouth he cant even do his job properly, hes in no position to talk about other people's works.

    He gassed too early because he tried too early. That said, if he fully gassed like many clowns here try to suggest he would have been taken out in the later rounds. Remember how he was able to successfully move and box in round 11?, a fully tired fighter will not be able to do that and stay on his feet.

    Agreed. That's why I decided to keep Bradley at the P4P #3 spot and drop Pacquiao from the list altogether. I originally scored the fight 116-112 Pac, but after reading this and hearing about the pulled calf, I re-scored the fight, ending it after round 3 to compensate for Bradley's calf and stamina problem, then extrapolated it to all 12 rounds.

    Based on that, Bradley actually won 8-4, in a dominant performance.

    Bradley was throwing a lot of telegraphed punches with bad intentions on them. That generally wears you out after a whikle.

    Yeah I agree with this. It almost worked but Pac pulled through.

    I was thinking he was going for the KO too hard and gassed but this is a possibility. What surprises me most is that Pac could not take full advantage of an inactive Bradley.
