    Or at least good for people who like to watch Manny Pacquiao in the ring. Pacquiao did what he had to do to win the fight, an no more. He could have gone for the kill, but instead chose to coast and do as little as needed to win with a comfortable margin. He won't make that mistake again. Maybe next fight he will train hard and actually fight like he cares about the sport and his fans like he once did, since he now knows he can't safely let it go to the scorecards. His attitude going into the Bradley fight was "yeah, I guess I'll fight... but a basketball match is more important to me, okay? so like that .. uhh.. whatever his name is.. the guy I'm fighting.. he'll have to wait and maybe I'll do a quick warm up before going into the ring, but whatever, he can train to the moon, he's still a joke. :patsch

    Of course, the way Pacquiao responded to the decision, one could argue he doesn't care enough about boxing anymore to even care when he loses and that the hunger is gone. I think Pacquiao just needs a real challenge.

    Pac couldn't go for the kill. He was nowhere in kill territory. He was trying not to get out boxed. He wasn't coasting he was trying to avoid punches. Why don't you watch the fight?
