Whenever people speak of Pac-Bradley its always poor Manny, he got robbed. They stole it from him.....the Precious!! But why don't people recall how bad Manny looked in this fight? Who can remember any flush or memorable punches landed by Pac? The only thing I recall are Bradley's ankle injuries. And even then Manny still couldn't land solid punches on an immobilized opponent. Looking back Manny probably should have got the W but it was not an impressive performance. Manny looked like crap. I would even venture to say that if there were a rematch Tim would win easy! Pac is wreckless, predictable, and one dimensional, think about it, if Pac had variety in his game he would of stopped the broke ankle Bradley. Instead of trapping him he simply followed Tim around the ring getting outmanuvered and hit with defensive counters and flurries all night. Never did Pac back him into a corner, cut off the ring, muscle him, use a jab, uppercuts, pot shots etc.... It was the same one two miss miss, rinse repeat. That same wherever you go I'll follow mentality got him put to sleep against Marquez!! Does this dude learn nothing from past mistakes? With 2 healthy ankles Tim probably wins a rematch but just like in this fight with Marquez people will scream robbery. I believe that as long as Bradley is with Top Rank and is fighting opponents with dedicated but hater infested fan bases, he will continue to be discredited for his victories. It will always be a Win/Lose situation with Top Rank.
Manny is shot to f'ck but still better than Bradley Gotta say though, Bradley now had the best résumé in boxing since Leonard
If he was better than Bradley he wouldn't have fell asleep in his last fight, and I highly doubt Manny could go through Tim's resume undefeated
He beat him easy without breaking a sweat. That's all it was, he didn't have to exert himself to win on any sane card
Pac won the fight 116-112 (or 117-111 I don't remember my exact scoring) in my eyes. There's nothing to do about it, the fact that Pacquiao got tired in the later rounds doesn't mean that Bradley came anywhere close to win or look good against Pac.
When the average press score is 9-3, that's pretty easy, and Pac never had to get out of the second gear
if its so easy then why is pac tired, sucking eggs, looking like crap, and not able to KO this easy broke ankle opponent?
Considering that there are people arguing that Tim loss to Marquez its no wonder he doesn't get credit for the Pac win.
Sure he could have done more, but you don't score boxing like that. It's sufficient to beat your opponent even if you're not going all out, especially if most have you winning wide/dominant even going half speed
That makes zero sense. A good majority had him beating JMM, and an overwhelming majority had him losing to Pac
