He wanted the best version of Manny Pacquiao possible and fought his heart out to try to decisively win. He started showboating during the fight, but showed great sportsmanship after the fight and gave Manny and his team all the respect.
I wouldn't even have been mad if Bradley won. He's a good face for boxing and I hope the guy wins something big sometime soon.
Does anybody have the post-fight conference? I can't get enough of how mutually respectful Pacquiao and Bradley are. I wouldn't be surprised if they become friends after this, similar to Pacquiao - Cotto.
It was an awesome fight and I loved it. I felt bad for Tim, because after that break when he told his corner "My (leg/calf?) hurts" he really came back out a different fighter. Abandoned his game plan and spent the second half of the fight surviving and swinging wild.
I want to see Pacquiao/Marquev V. **** it.
As for Tim, there's plenty of excellent fights out there for him. Rios, Alvarado, Provo***ov II, Vargas, etc. If Tim gets some good wins, I wouldn't mind them doing it a third time, tbh.
He's classy he will go on to capture the title once again. PAC beats Marquez, he beats Alvarado or rios and then we can see PAC brad 3 PAC will win then retire. That leaves the belt for Bradley to pick up swiftly
