Was Bradley practicing the sweet science of boxing by making an obviously shot and inaccurate Pacquiao miss like a fool, or was he being a spoiler by constantly bending upper body extremely low, leaving only his back and back of the head exposed not unlike turning your back against the opponent? Or was he just trying to give Manny a blow job? You decide.
My total count was 128
Russian, nobody cares about BBC rules or whatever eastern european country your from f*ggot... A duck is a duck. Bradley was making Pac miss alot of his punches.
According to what rules? I have never heard of that before, and I have never seen a ref enforce such a "rule" unless the fighter is completely turning his back. A lot of the old school fighters did moves like that and even some of the best defensive fighters of the past decades have done it (Mayweather, Toney, Sweet Pea, ect.).
I know its in the BBBC rules and WBC rules directly but i dont know about specific states. But turning your back to a fighter is rarely allowed, yet is isnt in almost any rule books either. Ducking like that only gives you 1 target to land a punch, and thats behind the head, just like turning your back. So why isnt turning your back a "defensive" strategy?
Its up to the refs decision i guess but it is a move that should not be allowed
this is trolling at its finest. you know damn well its not illegal to duck a punch. the fight is over let it go. since when was it made so you had to stand there and take a punch without ducking low? this is something that is taught from day one of someone boxing? you stand there and let someone punch you over and over without moving out the way then we can talk. you guys sit at home eating cereal watching tv while guys like pac and Bradley put in that work and fight the best fighters out there. what do you really know??
I honestly don't see how the hell that's spoiling, it's called defense. I guess fighters are just suppose to stand up straight and robotic and not use their athletic advantages to slip/roll/duck punches out of harms way.
Completely agree, ducking below the belt is illegal and should be enforced by refs. You are not allowed to bend at the waist so low that your backline/head is below the waistline of your opponent. The only punch that a fighter could land in that position is a rabbit punch, it is exactly like turning your back to a fighter. Plus its just an annoying spoiling tactic

I've mentioned this in the first fight a year ago, about bending his body extremely low. Don't really know if it's sweet science or just outright fear of getting hit. Who would look good with such fighters with that kind of awkward defense? Reminds me of Ishe Smith. He twists his body and his opponent can't hit him on his back.
Yeah, I also noted that in the first fight. Along with holding, this tactic tends to make fights very dull.

See when boxers duck that low their opponent should be able to punch them on the back of the head or ****in elbow drop their spines. It's basically the same as turning your back on your opponent because you don't leave them a target to throw at.

Whichever one you think it is, I think it's maddening that people are calling Pacquiao shot or not the same Manny as before because of this. You try throwing 5 punching combos and being super aggressive on a guy constantly doing this.
