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

[Spicoli]

5-4 Pac. The sad thing is that I don't think Manny has shown anything special and Bradley has given rounds away with sloppiness. 9 minutes to go.

Totally agree. Manny may be running away with this but man has he slipped. No where near the fighter he was.

I think Pac may have edged this, but he didn't look very good. I think Bradley gave that away rather than Manny displaying anything special.

Not on the scale that Manny gave it away the first go. Come on. Manny earned this one back, and beat Tim up late and did well for a guy left on his face previous. He took it.

I'm really disappointed with Bradley as I think it was all there for him. He has never knocked people out and here he is thinking he is just going to knock out a top P4P fighter and pose on the ropes. I really don't understand the mentality. Bradley won rounds, he lost a couple by posing and ultimately lost the fight. Just silly and now he has a loss. What was the point in that? He was younger and fresher, but couldn't concentrate enough.

Even tho manny didnt look great, this fight was still more exciting than what mayweather will do to maidana.

Pac should just say fug it and retire. Nothing else to prove.

7-5 to pac and bradley could have done better but he just could not connect properly and we praise mannys movement for that.

Pac took it, but it was held out on a platter. No elite fighter poses on the ropes with his hands down against Pacquiao and Bradley gave away 2 rounds doing that. I don't understand why you would do that.

Chris, i think that mayweathers fights are better to watch skillwise.

I agree pac should retire but theres millions he can make with the rotation of top rank fighters.

3rd fight? Shut the fuck up Jim

[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 think deep down, after trying a couple of rounds to hurt pac tim gave up and focused on looking good instead

[imp]

3rd fight? Shut the fuck up Jim

Skill wise yes, pure excitment no. It floyd would go for the kill, plus display the skills it would make his fights awesome.

Stamina. Tim looked terribly sluggish from his last few starts and from a early point. Just like Provo..its not a guys choice..its more cause and effect and you needing to adapt. He was put there!

Depends on how you view excitement but we know hes a safety first fighter.

Either way, manny still has good speed and pressed the fight when he wanted to against a young prime tim bradley and whether he looked good or not doesnt matter as he got the job done on my scorecard.

Shame we will all be robbed of the fights we want to see but pac has 3-4 fights left.
