How can you watch this and tell me Bradley was dominated?

Originally posted by IMDAZED View PostYeah same here - had Manny winning the first time I viewed it but I thought it was close. I never thought it was decisive. Hell, how could you, when he faded in the latter rounds?
But when I put the beer down, watched it by myself...I realized what I hadn't seen before. And that was...Pacquiao missed a lot. A lot. And ate a lot of body shots--and several headshots as well. He was roughed up in several rounds that I hadn't noticed before. And Bradley was in total control in the championship rounds. It's clear why people don't want to see a rematch--not because it was so boring (Pacquiao-Marquez III was a snoozer too), it's because Bradley could beat Manny even more decisively next time.Last edited by Alibata; 12-03-2012, 01:19 PM.

I love these videos where the arguments are never for Bradley doing anything significant they are just pointing out where Pac missed at times.
I was on BS the night of this fight and everyone, including Pac haters and Bradley fans were agreeing Pac was winning it easy. Then a day after the decision everyone says wow the fight was a lot closer it was just the bias HBO commentators.Last edited by Danny Gunz; 12-03-2012, 01:50 PM.

Originally posted by MR. LARRYX View PostYou can tell after the fight he was hardly touched in his fight with Manny,his defense was great and he made Manny miss more than i have seen in awhile.Notice everyone else Manny has fought had swolen,battered and bruised faces after the fight.Yet they said he landed the most on Bradley so why was he unmarked.
why all the controversy?cause a mega star lost? Bradley won this fight and can't seem to get any fights due to his negative style,it is hard to look good against him because he is a very cagey fighter
Bradley was crafty, and slippery. He moves his head just enough to get out of the way. its not fancy, but he was not getting hit clean, or often, while pacquiao was.Last edited by !! Shawn; 12-03-2012, 02:09 PM.

The impression I've been left with after a few watches is that Pacquiao didn't look capable of getting to Bradley more often. He just wasn't able to close the distance effectively against a guy who was making him work to do so.
People say Bradley just 'back-pedalled' but he didn't. He was making Pacquiao overextend in order to create counter-punching opportunities. And when Pacquiao lunged he stepped around him and threw combinations.
Bradley wasn't landing a lot of clean shots either, no question about it. But he was controlling the nature of the fight in the closing six rounds, and he was working for three minutes. Manny was generally doing nothing except plodding around after Bradley in a lot of those rounds. Wild flurries don't make up for two and a half minutes of inactivity.
