I got my money's worth last night. Bradley brought it like he's never brought it before and I was truly impressed by his passion and determination. Pacquaio throwing punches in bunches vs a quick and fast undefeated guy was great to watch.
Thank you gentlemen!
had a party for my pops bday and didnt watch the undercards.....BUT, the main event was entertaining. had about 40/45 people over, about 10 were hardcore fans, the others were either casuals or didt even watch boxing, mostly mexicano/chicanos and other then my wife who's pinay, the rest were black and they all enjoyed the fight! Them boys let their hands fly and gave it their all. i have more respect for bradley now, even moreso then after his provo and marquez fights. he knew he had to bring it. Pac was nice in the ring, but you can definitely tell he's starting to show his age. he got caught with the straight right many times, and if bradley had more power, he wouldve dropped pac imo. I think Tims stock went up for sure, so did pacs. But i think Pac fighting 2 more years is going to be his downfall. it was worth the 70 bones i dropped for it, thats for sure. i pay for the main event, if the undercards are good its only a bonus!
entertaining????? you need to go out more kid..the fight was rubbish...two flop prank bums swinging wild and fighting like street fighting crack who*es...no skills ..no proper defence..there was no excitement..both fighters are over rated and anyone who understands boxing knows this fight was rubbish..but most pac fans are dumb and can't even read let alone know about boxing lol
a rigo fan complaining about a fight not being entertaining.......lmfao
bradley took some big shots in that fight but still kept coming...especially in that 3rd round...he took a big beating in that round but had the heart of a lion king.........
undercard doesn't matter, never has
that's why promoters only use it for show off or tuneup fights
ppl only care about main card
The undercards did blow but the main event definitely made up for it and more.

both guys had enough speed and mobility to make it a tough fight for them to get things going consistently. Both guys looked gassed especially Bradley in the middle rounds and then Manny in the later rounds.
Great main fight but what a **** crap undercard as always. I was bored my socks off. Clearly you idiots pay to watch main event.

bradley fought stupid, sloppy and frankly scared
lame
he should have fought like his normal self
the false bravado and stupid antics is not him
i think the moment got too big for him. big stage again, 1st fight controversy, criticism, losing, etc.

First half of the fight was worth the sixt I shelled out. I had it 3 rds to 3 rds and I totally thought the Pac era was going to end early on but Tim gassed out surprisingly. Tim almost seemed happy he lost afterwards and I believe its because hr knows he gave it his all and because hr knows he didn't deserve the last decision. Mannys punches didn't look strong and Mayweather would beat him easily.
And the reason Floyd's fights are boring is because nobody ever gets close to beating him. No drama at all. Everyone tunes in thinking this could be the fight and by rd 8 Floyd is coasting to a UD decision.
Hopefully Floyd and Manny end up fighting. I don't think it will be as competitive as it would have been in 2010 when Manny and Arum ducked Floyd but it will make for great hype and drama prior to the fight and it will finally put things to bed for history's sake.
The fight was garbage. PAC was gunshy. Bradley switched game plans and started winging shots like an amateur. Not sure what fight y'all were watching and it was boring
Quit Trolling, I watched the fight with about 15 people who don't know much about boxing and they thought it was exciting and couldn't stop asking me questions about boxing afterwards. 15 "casual boxing fans" were converted last night thanks to two warriors. To put things in perspective, I watched Mayweather vs. Canelo with more or less the same group and they told me flat out that the fight was boring even though most of group likes Mayweather more than Pac
great fight for a 35 year old with 60+ bouts, watched it in a bar, around 1k spectators, no filipinos, mostly americans and mexicans. they all love him and they don't give a ***** about Floyd.
You know Floyd/Maidana is going to be boring. The 24/7 will be more exciting then the fight.

I echo the OPs sentiments. Both men tried their best. I thought Bradley was finally going to overpower an older man after he buzzed him with a right hand but Pac recovered and boxed beautifully. It was not the blowout that some predicted for Pac, but at his age and physical decline its understandable. He actually did less in the rematch but it was mitigated by Bradley doing NOTHING. That said it was highly competitive and entertaining.
Pac is using his boxing, movement, and experience more than his physical atttributes nowadays as he's becoming older. He is not going to maul someone unless he is vastly outclassed. The top 147 pounders would be in a similar competitive fight with him. I dont see him beating top Bradley-level fighters anymore and maybe Bradley finally beats him in an unnecessary 3rd fight.
That said, Pac should think about retirement soon, his skills are there but his physical deterioration is going to continue.
It was a good fight, wish the undercards were better. I'm not going to lie Pacquiao looked old the first 4 rounds but then he started doing his patent hopping and throwing combinations and knew Tim was in trouble.
I went out to the bar to watch the fight and let me tell it was packed about like 1,000-2,000 people were there cheering on Pacquiao and not a one Filipino in sight. One thing is for sure Pacquiao gets the love of the people while ive watch Mayweather last 2 fights in the same bar and nobody gave a fvck, just shows you who's the peoples champ.
I second and I couldn't agree more. They were two gladiators displaying the heart of champions. It was a hell of a fight with two hell of a fighters and I am proud of them both.
