I think what people don't understand is that it's not age that gets to these guys, roy jones isn't really finished he just has an ego and won't sort out his defence.
It's the training that fucks these guys up. PAC mans training is crazy and it's not doing him any good.
9-3 pac.

watching live...116-112 Pacquiao
2nd time....117-111 Pacquaio
i changed the 7th round from a Bradley to a Pacquiao round 2nd time around
I originally thought this was a conspiracy.
I didn't re-watch the whole fight, but I did watch a few rounds on the reply.
And I think it is pretty clear, that the crowd, and the HBO broadcast team, were going wild for every hit and miss of Manny, while ignoring all of the work done by Bradley.
Additionally, Bradley blocked a lot of the punches, that I thought were landing when I originally watched it.
That being said, I no longer think this decision was outright fraud.
At worst, it was just a bad decision. At best, Bradley won a close fight
Rather annoyingly , I have it as a draw.
Couldn't dispute it either way.
8-4 Pac. I watched 7th again on Lampleys soapbox last night, the round he called "the smoking gun" after seeing fit to show it minus commentary. Frankly I didn't see some clear cut absolute round there at all. If your a fan of button pushing to judge a round...Bradley was technically the busy one for first minute...Pac comes alive about 1:33 and at one point gets Bradley close and slowed, only to push down on his head and do nothing. Again at about :30 he rallies and Bradley is there firing back along ropes.
