Pacquiao vs Bradley the rematch [April 12th]
- Thread starter 2-0-Sixx
- Start date
No need to. Pac won clear no controversy. Bradley admitted defeat. Plus everyone thinks pac won the first fight anyway.
Pac still looks like he lost a step but he was too much for Bradley still. Bradley ate a lot more cleaner shots this time around and was only looking to land big power punches. He looked gassed and wobbly half of the fight

Too me Bradley always looks gassed and wobbly. By round 5 or 6 he always looks like he is gonna pass out but he manages to stay. He has heart and dedication, I will give him that, but I am reading on some forums that he may have thrown the fight and that it was a draw, lol.
Did anyone here have it 114-114?

Manny still got it but he lost a step...
Mayweather was ducking pacquiao but it's 2014 and now i don't give a fuck anymore.

I thought Pacquiao looked uncharacteristically tired by the 3rd round. His in and out movement stopped and he looked frustrated. I knew Bradley's plan was going to be to counter mostly but Pacquiao did a superb job with his feints. That was really the difference in the fight. He started to make Bradley look really foolish in the last half of the fight when he was landing cleanly more often and Bradley was swinging wildly.
I sat down and actually scored it live which I rarely do. There were 2-3 rounds that were really close calls to me but I thought Pacquiao edged 2 of those rounds, Bradley had one

Bradley: "Pacquiao was the better man tonight. He still has it. I have respect for him."
"I tried, I really tried," Bradley said. "I wanted that knockout. Manny is a great fighter, one of the best in the world. I lost to one of the greatest fighters in boxing. I kept trying to throw something over the top, that was the plan. I knew I had to do more in this fight than in the last fight."

Huh I thought the opposite. Seemed Bradley was gassed early and Pacquiao was just being a bit patient letting Bradley power up on those wild looping hooks. At 35 with 60+ fights Pacquiao isn't going to be throwing a 1,000 punches anymore, he has to be more economical. He's not going to blitz guys like a buzz saw like he did 5 years ago because physically he's not in his prime anymore, so he's using his boxing ability more than his natural physical abilities.
If you can, go back and watch it. I don't know if maybe he was tired or just trying to figure out what was going on, but his punches stopped for awhile in the 3rd and 4th and his in and out movement stopped. I was really surprised. He finished well though so maybe it was frustration as much as anything else.

Oscar Dela Hoya did whatever it took to build a great promotional company in GBP. I've never seen so much MP Promo logos as much as I did in this fight vs Bradley. Manny came in at 145 looking great, and I wouldn't be surprised if he starts dropping weight to at least 140 to make fights with 140 lbrs. Floyd makes fighters go up and down for him, I think Manny will do what he can start building for the future now that the end is near.
