Can't blame you for this opinion though I'm in the minority that believes Bradley won that fight close, my live score was 8-4 Pacquiao. Still Bradley has wins over both Pacquiao and Provodnikov that alone would make a rematch a better fight with all these recycled bouts by TR something fresh is always welcome. Where do you think that leaves Bradley for his next match.
Bob Arum is on record in a interview today saying that's what he has planned next you can put as much stock into his words that you want but per TR Pacquiao-Rios winner vs Provodnikov is on tab
Like when he planned Juanma Lopez and Gamboa and wait until it marinates? atsch Like when he planned to have Floyd and Packy fight and guaranteed a done deal for may of 2010?? Do you remember that? Instead we got Clottey the punching bag vs Manny
Those were huge fights where the risk of loss wasn't worth the added revenue they got by bypassing those fights even though Lopez eventually lost to Salido and Pacquiao to Marquez the money made in between probably made up for it. Honestly that seems like a bad comparassion a better one would be if he said a rematch was next and instead we got the Ruslan fight.
Bradley did win. He actually kicked Pacs ass -- 2nd half. PAC plain ran out of gas. Bradley bobbed/weaves, making PAC miss. He beat him inside and out. PAC couldnt wait for the fight to end. This was not a bad decision. PAC is not physically capable of going the distance at 100%. Also not strong enough and no longer intimidates. It will show when he fights Rios.
