Damn near three years since Bradley/Pac one

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

Tim fought for 36 minutes, Manny fought for 18 minutes. I said then that at their peaks, Manny, clearly and I do mean CLEARLY was the better fighter. Tim didn't "win" the fight more than Manny gave it away by doing bullshyt for half of the rounds, especially the second half. In the second half of the fight, Manny did jack shyt. Those weren't dominate rounds for Tim but he was the better fighter in those rounds. Largely because Manny was on some bullshyt that fight. He tried to ODLH his way to victory by stealing rounds.

Good fight, could've gone either way. Bradley finished stronger. It's been all downhill for him since this performance though.

Winning a FOTY and a dominant decision win over a ATG p4p dude (JMM) is downhill? Tell me more of your boxing logic sir

That fight definitely wasn't FOTY, fukk are you talmbout?

Was a good win for Bradley but except for one left hook in the twelfth, Marquez dominated much of the last half of the fight. And since then, Bradley has barely scraped by a C class fighter in Ruslan, a C class fighter in Chavez (a draw), and lost to Manny decisively.

If by dominated you mean handily lost 9-3? In a great display of outside fighting I agree. Ruslan fight was easily FOTY.

9-3 is a bit much. Chill out.

And yeah, he did have a FOTY with a C-class fighter.

Breh I don't need to at anyone...everyone who said bradley are known Floyd stans...i stand corrected on one thing..seemorecizzy thought bradley lost. Bradley lost that fight 119-109 ...if that nikka bothered to learn how to punch correctly in those feather fists maybe his ineffective offense would have been...effective to give him rounds...you're in the minority with floyd stans cosigning you..no one who said pac won is questioning my card

I called the fight a draw.

This is what I said back in 2012

If Pacquaio hadn't decided to take off the first half of virtually every round and basically the second half of the fight off, he would have won going away. However, he didn't. Do you award the guy that is hitting harder in exchanges for 15-20 seconds a round or do you give it to the boxer that is more engaging? I choose the latter. This was actually a poor showing from both boxers. I know that Bradley wasn't hurting him but outside of a few that stumbled Bradley, he wasn't hurt either. He was never 'rocked.'

At various junctures of the fight, my card vs the judges cards since we saw the scores every three rounds.

After round three. I have 29-28 Bradley, judges are all three have Manny 29-28
After round six. I have 58-56 Pacquiao, judges are 59-56, 58-56, 58-56, all in favor of Pacquiao
After round nine. I have 87-85 Manny, judges are 88-83 Manny, 86-85 Manny, 85-86 Bradley
After round twelve. I have 115-115, judges are 115-113, 115-113, 113-115 in favor of Bradley.

I didn't say Bradley won? Your 11-1 score card is a shytty score card, that's a fact. Not counting effective aggression or ring generalship? Nor defense?

Off of memory I had it in the 8-4, 9-3 range for Manny. It was a clear victory for him.
Tim may not be great at any one thing, but he is good at just about everything. He also has more natural athletic ability than just about anyone he fights. This fight Pacquiao looked more athletic. Bradley even said afterwards that Pacquiao wore him out stamina wise and was amazed at Pacquiao's movement.

It was a clear showing of just how good Pacquiao is...and how Mayweather easily beat Pacquiao is testimony to how good Mayweather is. Manny is still the clear #2 at 140 and 147, until someone other than Mayweather gives him the beats.

The Bradley-Pacquiao fight made me more impressed with Pacquiao...seeing how Bradley has come back and since Marquez and beat (yes, beat) Chavez easier than Thurman and Rios did in their fights, Bradley has shown he is a top notch fighter who can compete against any top fighter (except probably Pacquiao and Mayweather).

I fukks with you on this post but chaves caused fits for timmy because he couldn't hurt him, rios because he was in shyt conditioning, and keith because they both had power..but only keith was able to hurt and beat him convincingly within the distance

That fight should have been a draw.

I still think Bradley won this fight 7-5had the same score as the judges

Yeah, it was a close fight. Watch it again.

I'm a big Tim fan. But I was very disappointed in his body language and his fight in the second half of that bout. Just like I'm disappointed in his career. Somewhere along that line, he lost the hunger.
