Uncertain grounds
I think Bradley was having some success early, but the constant power shots Pacquiao was landing made him go from offensive to defensive. His calf muscle injury notwithstanding, Bradley was getting hurt and made the adjustment of backing off Pacquiao in order to survive. Pacquaio picked up the pace and kept Bradley in retreat. I still feel Pacquiao beats Mayweather, simply cuz Im convinced that the shots Pacquaio was repeatedly landing on Bradley would put Mayweather down on his ass. Mayweather cant take power shots to the face; he's not used to that. He never has taken those shots. I think when he does take them, he wont react to them that well. And the success Bradley had was due to his aggressiveness in going for the KO. Mayweather would not be that aggressive.

Maybe, but Im pretty sure Mayweather could have avoided a lot of those compared to Bradley. Mayweather is not going to be swinging from his heels for the fences and has MUCH more defensive prowess.

Something I'm wondering about brehs, wondering if Bradley's fight with Ruslan fukked up his rationale in the ring? I mean, there are fine lines between successfully handling or even nullifying adversity in the ring, showboating with extreme confidence, and just plain being reckless. It's obvious he has a solid chin, and could handle Pac's shots, but somewhere between round six and seven, he lost his identity. I know Joel Diaz was thinking, "oh god here we go again." One thing, nobody can accuse him of running.

The only other thing I can think was, he really was trying to counter and land something similar to Marquez if even in smaller doses. The reality is, Manny had a life altering experience with that knockout, and I doubt he'll ever charge in as reckless and open as he did with Marquez that fateful night. That said, if that was Diaz's and Bradley's game plan, that they could counter Manny's recklessness, then they gambled foolishly. Again, you can't accuse him of running.


On another note, I downloaded Mash Up, XBMC, and while the picture was good, the stream was azz. I ended up going right back to Wizwig. First time using Mash Up, so I'm not done with it yet, but I'm not quite ready to praise it.

smh @ anyone saying Timmy won...

I'm a big Timmy fan but Pacquaio won last night with no controversy...

Timmy looked good through the first 6 rounds when he was pressing forward and going hard to the body...I don't know why he decided to fall back and try to head-hunt-counter-punch, he's not the type to gass out after 6 or chase KO's so maybe it was the calf injury...No excuses though, Pacquiao outclassed him...

Bradley has overachieved I can't even knock the little nikka he made some nice money past 2 years he's made.

8-4 was about right by round 6 the fight swung in favor of Manny. Manny's a true pro he fought a smart fight not sure why Floyd/Manny stans can't appreciate we watching 2 GOAT's continue to shine this late in their careers.

I guess I must have missed it. I'm waiting for the upload. What exactly about his timing did he adjust?

Around the 4/5th round he adjusted to Bradley's speed. Which is why Bradley stopped walking him down and stopped going as much to the body because he didn't want to get countered.

I'm going to rewatch it when my son comes home and I'll tell you around what time in the round it started to happen.[DOUBLEPOST=1397411035][/DOUBLEPOST]

I remember that momentum change. It think it was the 5th. To me it looked liked Timmy was gassed.
