Pac didn't do as well as you might think. Those slow mo vids clearly show Pac missing tons of shots due to Tim's movement, even though his ankles were messed up. Tim hit Pac with a lot of punches that no one talked about and Pac got credit for doing more than he actually did.
I think Pac was lucky that it was Tim's first PPV headline and that he hurt his ankles. Still thought Pac did enough to pull it off but he didn't look impressive to me.
In a rematch, I think Tim boxes the entire time and leans to his left instead of his right and uses his jab a whole bunch. Bradley just doesn't have enough power to drop Pac but he still busted his mouth up while Pac couldn't even drop an injured Bradley or make him bleed.
If Pac fights the same way in a rematch he gets outboxed by a very confident Bradley.
