only thing that comes to mind is

:hmm::hmm::hmm::hmm::hmm::hmm::hmm::hmm:


I can see why Bradley won. He was in the fight the entire time, Ate a lot of pacs punches but still came forward and was always busy, not taking rounds off. He never looked or even seem in serious trouble. He looked like he got tired for a minute but that was it. I truly dislike when someone says that a boxer using his footwork is running. He was circling and doing what you supposed to do if you fighting a dude with more power than you. And I literally saw one clip where Pac took 2 minutes off while Bradley jabbed and stayed busy, then in the last minute Pac tries to flurry off, missing most.

Them wackass commentators sucked Manny off the entire fight when it looked to me like Bradley was in most of the rounds. Manny had some trade-offs where he dumped on Bradley but Tim kept coming, never really phased, and Tim was getting through Manny guard.

The commentators saying "Bradley has a decent chin".....:hmm: Dude probably buckled once maybe, and that was early. He was never even hurt to the point where I thought he was going down, atleast not in any of the clips i saw.

The crowd is moaning and cheering whenever Manny throws a flurry and Bradley slips everything.... :hmm:

The replays of the entire fight where Manny landed like 8 straight lefts in 12 rounds, but not showning any of the punches Bradley landed

And, again, Manny did not land as many punches as compubox stated IMO. Or maybe it was just he threw flurries of shit and it looked like he was doing something. Like I said, I think Manny won a lot of exchanges, had some clean hits, but I can see how he lost the fight if he took rounds off. Bradley out worked him and did most of the pressuring. Manny wasn't hurt either, but I guess he thought he was doing better than he actually was. But watch again for yourself...don't forget to MUTE

Do you think Bradley fought as good a fight as Marquez? Marquez TRULY won his fight and got shafted. I still don't remember any significant punch Bradley landed. And again, all that about the commentators is being given too much weight. I watched a British stream and then the HBO replay, and I see the same fight - Bradley lost. Pac's the champ and you have to take the title from the champ - not eek out a win.

Hell no I don't think Bradley fought a better fight then Marquez. I do think Marquez kinda took the last couple rounds off during the last fight but other than that, he should've won.

But like I said, I can see why Bradley could've won. He stayed busy and didn't take rounds off. He didn't throw any head snapping punches to Pac mainly because he don't got the power, but he banged and even if Manny deserved to win, Tim was in it. Braley definitely wasn't shut out
 
So we grading Bradley on a curve?

He gets points just for trying? That's what we doin now?

I like Bradley. I think he's good for the sport, but that doesn't get him any extra points in a fight. If the only thing that you clearly did better than your opponent in a round was to escape danger, and that was because your opponent never had to escape danger because he was never in danger in the first place, then you didn't win the round. You get a draw at best.

That's what happened in those later rounds. Bradley was successfully able to neutralize Pacquiao's attack, but he offered no real attack of his own, even while Pac was coasting. He just landed a few jabs and then got out of trouble. And he also missed a whole lot of punches himself because he was at a distance from Pacquiao and was afraid to get inside for too long after he felt Pac's hands.

You don't get extra credit for not getting knocked out by Pacquiao. I give him props, though.

Compared to Pac barely trying? And I didn't say he got points for trying, I said he got points for being the busier fighter and walking through some hard shots by Pac while landing some of his own shots. Thats MOST likely what happened. Pac was the more powerful of the two but Bradley would be in there swinging with him on top of being more active in the earlier in the round, and also slipping a TON of Manny's punches in those flurries. Manny would try his flurry onslaught bullshit in the last minute while bouncing around doing next to nothing for the other 2 minutes. Whether Bradley landed a few jabs or not, point is he was landing and being a busier fighter. You can win rounds in the judges eyes by doing so


And also, like I said, Pac most likely didn't land as many shots compubox said he did and they've done this recently with the Marquez fight. I don't think Tim necessarily won, I believe it was a fix by Arum, but Bradley was hardly blown out the way Manny was fighting

This and what is at the bottom of dime bag's sig is why I did not watch this fight. I get sick and tired of HBO's commentary during Pac's fights simply because they give him too much credit for little to nothing. Pac is and has been a sloppy fighter at times and people for some strange reason don't see it.

I agree man. I knew I wasn't crazy when they said Manny landed almost 300 punches and Bradlyes face looked EXACTLY the same as when he arrived to the arena.

And people believe and see what they want to believe and see. Too me, Pac had a little more power but Bradley out worked him. Took his best shots and deserved to be treated like the man he is for trying to bang with a dude that ducks drug tests

I can't disagree, but I still can't see a way to give it to Bradley. I've been talking shit about HBO because they don't just do this with Pac and act funny style with Mayweather. They do it with guys they are pushing... the "stars" and the guy has to be getting destroyed for a few rounds before they even acknowledge it.
