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

[Manju]

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

There was an exchange between Tim and one of his cornermen that lends credence to his injury claim. TB apparently says "but it hurts" in response to a question. His cornerman repeats: "it hurts?! Do you want to fucking quit?"

I'm paraphrasing from memory. I forgot exactly when it occurred, but it was during the middle of the fight, ie as the tide shifted. I was very surprised that the announcers did not mention let alone dwell on this conversation.

He had a 2 stumble-round...i forget which. So maybe that is when the foot injury occurred. Also, same thing happened in first fight. TB was twisting and turning well in order to avoid Pac's power. But one could also say that Pac's power forced TB to twist and turn in a manner that was dangerous.

So Pac actually punched Tim's foot out...in a manner of speaking.

I remember that, Tim was telling his Joel his trainer that he is hurting. Joel ask did he want to go home cause they can go fucking home if he wanted. I think thats when Tim was saying he hurt his leg again.

funny how in over 30 pro fights he always hurts his lower extremity fighting Manny.

I think he was legitimately hurt and it effected him because the second half of the fight he was desperate and goading Pac Man as he had nothing else to offer.

Hi I'm new to this forum. I love boxing, even though I don't always follow the latest rankings and fights. My brother and I used to stay up and sneak in the late night undercard matches. We made this boxing inspired song and video called "Throwdown", and I figured people into boxing would dig it.

Here is the url (you need to add the "h t t p : //" part of it because I am new here and cannot post URLs yet.

Bradley did not fight much in the second half.

Maybe because of the calf muscle injury that he is saying after the fight.
But over all it is better fight than the first one.
