I think who gets hurt definitely matters, but Bradley was trying to the best of his ability to hurt Manny. He just hasn't learned how to punch the same way, and he doesn't have the instinctive nature hit with the same force that Manny does. Manny definitely follows through with everything while Bradley throws more arm punches, but he was trying to throw them the hardest he knows how, but I don't think that the fact he can't punch as hard should lose him rounds automatically. For all of Manny's superior power, there was more evidence of him being punched than Bradley, his mouth was bleeding pretty badly while Bradley had a little bit of a nose bleed. I honestly felt Manny rocked Bradley a few times, but a few times Bradley was also off balance. What I do care about is who is landing the clean punches and catching the guy in the sweet spot where he isn't moving away from the blow. Many of Manny's punches Bradley was rolling with like Emmanuel Steward always talks about, while Manny just covers up takes punches without any of the that more sophisticated defense. I think Manny was more effective offensively for sure, but that doesn't mean he won way more rounds based on clean effective punching. At least not in each round individually, there were rounds in the middle where he did land a lot more so in total he landed more shots, but not like compubox showed.
