They fought at such a highly, with such fast exchanges so often. I think that was the fastest paced fight I've ever seen, if you include their quickness and total body movement. Manny just didn't have the cardio to go hard late in the fight and seal the deal.

    If you're a Pacquiao fan, then you saw a different fight than most people. Pacquiao was much more accurate and landing to the head a lot more often than Bradley. Bradley's style is very uncomfortable, but from an offense standpoint he really didn't do all that much. So you're saying everybody else got it wrong: the HBO commentators, CompuBox, the fans at MGM....... hell, even Bradley himself didn't seem all that comfortable with the decision. I kinda feel sorry for him, it's not his fault... he gave it his all. But c'mon!!

    Like I said I've been to MGM grand, most of the people don't see the fight that closely in the arena, people are standing up in front of you making it hard to see. You can't see really accurately how cleanly punches are being landed. HBO has been out to lunch before like in the Hopkins-Calzaghe fight, both in terms of their observation(same crew) and compubox. Manny really wasn't landing that many head punches, and certainly not twice as many as Bradley, that was crap. Bradley landed plenty to Manny's head just not as devastating so they don't get remembered as much. It's like when Marquez fought Pacquiao people were crying murder because Marquez landed the more easily identified punches, and I felt Pacquiao landed way more clean blows then him, this fight it was the case, at least not like they presented. Bradley landed a lot, both to the head and body. He certianly did better body work and he won the last four rounds, that's almost half the fight. There were several close rounds early. HBO has been wrong a lot, even in Pacquiao's last fight it was way closer than they said. Pacquiao should have also won that by a 2 or 3 rounds, not a landslide.

    I feel sorry for Bradley also, he put up an amazing fight, really fought through adversity and people are giving him no credit. He fought nearly at the same level as Pacquiao, if he did lose its because he didn't have the same amount of power, but IMO there were times he made Pacquiao look really bad, and miss a lot of shots consecutively, and it showed in Pacqiao's deminished stamina late.
