I mean I understand that Manny only fought for a minute in a lot of rounds. But this thought process went time and time through the late rounds in my head, 2 minutes gone round is still on the table nothing effective so far, Manny lands a big left and wins the round. I mean to score the fight for Bradley you have to also give him two rounds out of the first seven. I just can't see it.
Nonsense. Bradley was boxing and moving in the second half of the fight. Cotto was trying to survive, Bradley was actually outworking his opponent by working the jab and picking his spots. It was effective boxing which wasn't what Cotto was doing. Mosley too was looking to survive, whilst Bradley was using not only using his brain but also had the heart to actually throw some punches. I was very impressed with how Bradley turned the fight around as I thought he was toast after 6. The man has balls.

You don't win a round on a 30 second burst having realised you have been asleep for the rest of the round. Bradley was dictating the second half of the fight. Manny wasn't.
