BOXNATION - Bradley vs Pacquiao II - Saturday fight night thread.

[Kirkland Laing]

Phillipino people. Who is the fucker with the Oakley style yellow glasses behind Manny when Larry Merchant is interviewing him? Some politician probably.

i believe that is chavit singson governor from the north of philippines. that guy is like a mobster

Manny was better off when he was a degenerate gambler.

If all else fails Little Timmy still had a puncher's chance. Rode the strategy from the sixth... better safe and pussified than knocked out.

[bradlee180]

Well, that's that.


Good night, gentlemen...

I just watched the fight there, thought it was very close fight 7-5 to pacman but that judge 118-110 that's seriously bad judging.

Yeah 118-110 is absurd. Tim didn't do himself any favors by bear hugging. That shit will kill your score

[THE THIRD MAN]

I had it even up to the end of 6, for some bizarre reason after that Bradley wanted to showboat and become he-man? Pacquiao is a shadow of his former self, he won this fight comfortably, but his pop has gone, his movement is more predictable and he fought an opponent with a dubious strategy. Bradley did land some solid shots, but he fought a strange fight. Pacquiao's next knockout might be his own. He has next to no chance of beating Floyd.

Timothy Bradley had a strategy to outbox Pacquiao until his brain was smashed by a left straight and the subsequent violent concussion threw his completed puzzle of thoughts against the wall for the remainder of the bout. Amir Mansour and other fighters put it best; you walk in with a game plan and then you get hit. This is the sport of boxing where the human brain is the seat of destruction; I think its unrealistic to expect a boxer to hold on to an intelligent game plan throughout a boxing match. Unless you're looking at Floyd Mayweather.

I think Bradley was telling the truth about an injury to his leg, this makes Manny's win even less credible. Any thoughts?
