It almost looked rehearsed and the constant chatter of Sheridan and crew saying how good a friends they were outside the ring didn't help matters. Bradley seemed to be taking part in this swan song. He looked like he was holding back the entire fight. Looked a bit of a sham to be honest.
I was surprised at how apprehensive Bradley was in comparison to his last fight a few min the ago. There was nothing Pacquiao was doing stylewise to make Bradley move back so much. Bradley could have easily taken the fight to Pac had he moved forward more consistently. Pac gets clumsy when guys get inside on him.
Both were apprehensive. Very low punch output. He also stated Teddy wanted him to be more of the counter puncher..to which Manny unusually took that role.
I also liked the way Roy Jones explained Teddy's instructions of "knock at the front door, then go inside through the side"
Very calculated fight...then add on the 2nd knockdown...or as Tim said post fight "Manny was strong the whole fight"
All adds up to a chess match of a fight. At least IMHO.
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
