I'm sure it's unanimous that Pac got robbed last year, so no need to discuss that part.
I say it's a pretty terrific win. Pac got (deserved) criticism for not fighting the best fighters at welterweight but Bradley is a top fighter, with good skills and was undefeated. Top 10 win for Pac, probably the best at 147 other than Cotto.
As good as Hatton was for Mayweather, both Bradley and Hatton were in similar spots. Only difference was people were accusing Mayweather of ducking Hatton for some reason.
But it'll look even better if Bradley does what I think he'll do later this year, beat Marquez.
Where I live there is never any commentary on live TV. Nobody here though Tim won either.
That must be a dream...
I always thought with todays technology they should be able to offer fights with no commentary, for PPVs and stuff.
On thread I think it should have been a good win. However the ankle 'excuse' is valid though. Normally Bradley is far more versatile than he was in the Pac fight.
It was a good win at the right time, after years of, "Pac won't fight a slick black fighter," crap. Bradley's not exactly slick, but he was the best fighter at 140, he's skilled and a tough guy to beat. Pac did so handily.
familiar foe? are you implying it was a cherry pick? he was fighting a guy that gave him hell in 3 fights. it's not like he was fighting david diaz again.
No, I'm just saying he went with the guy that he had already fought 3 times.
Yeah, the win that got him a L on his record? I call that a loss. He could have gone for revenge but he went with the familiar foe and paid the price for it.

I call whatever is on a person's record. I may feel a person may have deserved to win or not deserved to win but the decision was made and the result handed out......no one can say it didn't happen.
Just like this past weekend...I felt that Rosado deserved to win that fight but he lost and hopefully, Love gives him a rematch, a chance for revenge. Like I said, Pac had a chance for revenge too but he passed on it.
There's no comparison between Rosado Love and Pac Bradley GTFO. I think 95-94 Rosado was the most common score, with 95-94 Love next. Hardly anyone had Pac Bradley even close, most had it wide or near shutout.
Didn't Tim just pass on his career payday vs Pac? Hard to believe it's not at least 2x what he's getting for Marquez.

are you Romebyko?
You only call that a loss when convenient, we've already seen that when the guy you're boosting is on the receiving end

it's in the back half of his top 10 somewhere
it looks better because he was badly faded and Bradley was prime
Pac fought a lazy, uninspired fight, but he still dominated Bradley
he hadn't had a big win since Cotto and needed one to stay alive
too bad piss drinker flatlined him in the next fight
but Pac won far easier vs Bradley than anyone expected

Ive had Juan Manuel Marquez beating Pacquaio everytime on the cards and obviously he had the KO too. Close fights except the 3rd which i DO class a robbery, Juan bossed that fight
I can't agree..I had a draw the first fight,Pac wins the 2end fight..I had Marquez winning the third fight,but not by that much to consider it a robbery..We know the outcome of the 4th fight..Always classic these two fighters..
Did you seriously have Marquez winning by a large enough margin to call "robbery"? I've watched it twice and scored it 115-113 Marquez and 114-114. It was simply a close fight.

I agree with you. A few fans do insist that Bradley deserved the win and of course Bradley says he won by a mile. I think Bradley scored it 8 rounds to 4 for himself which shows why fighters should never score their own fights. Bradley demanded a rematch after the first fight. Now when he is offered a rematch he turns it down to fight Marquez for less money. I hope Marquez KOs him.
If it makes you feel better than ok. :bottle:
