Fact of the matter is that Bradley was swinging for the KO shot by the midway point. Weather it was a bad game plan or because he was injured and unable to do his thing, we can only speculate.
But I DO know is that in that first (or was it the second?) round, where Bradley shook Pacquiao with that big shot at the end of round, I though Pacquiao was in serious trouble. I thought for sure that Bradley was going to try to outbox Pac, and occasionally hit him with one or two big shots to try and keep him tentative.
Weird match, man.
This, Bradley seemed in thorough control for the 1st 4 rounds, and them it happened. What it was I cannot explain. But his whole entire fight changed and not for the better.
Trying to decide what was a worse rematch. Bradley-Pacquaio II or Mayweather-Maidana II.
I can't believe they actually managed to get away with doing those fights and idiots actually bought it :lol1:
I can't speak on how others judge a fight, I can only go off of my judgement. I thought both fights were extremely competitve and close. But in all honesty, there was no way in hell Bradley was going to win on the score cards in the 2nd fight. He knew it, his corner knew it, and his fans knew it. One judge had the 2nd fight scored 118 to 110. I don't know what fight he was watching, but it proves that Bradley's team was right, he needed a KO to win it. That's the reason we got an uncharacteristic performance from Tim.
Why no one could see that Tim was truly injured, is beyond me. It was very noticeable after the 3rd round. But, Tim had his chance. I would rather see him go after Mayweather and some of the other top guys at welterweight.There is nothing else left to prove with Manny. A fight between the 2 will always be tight, but Bradley doesn't have the fan support to demand a 3rd fight and he doesn't have the "powers" backing him to win a decision if it did take place.
Bradley is a good fighter but Pacquiao is a much better fighter and he proved it twice. A third fight would probably be a good fight but Pacquiao would almost certainly win again unless there was some more incredibly bad scoring by the judges again. Like Mayweather, Pacquiao only has a few fights left so he can probably fight someone more interesting that Bradley. I'd like to see him have chance to pay Marquez back but Marquez wants to quit while he is ahead. Bradley would certainly be a more worthy opponent for Pacquiao than Algieri.

Would rather see them fight other guys
Bradley vs khan, rios, ruslan 2, Maidana
Manny vs Floyd, Floyd, floyd
Lolz to those who said themself so far thus far
It was a good scrap. I wouldn't mind another one. If Bradley was telling the truth about suffering a leg injury early in the fight,maybe he can perform better in a third fight.
Bradley was winging his shots on the 9th round while Pacquiao was shooting his shots. Looks to me this was the round Bradley got his knees **** e d up. Idk

I'd be down for Pacquiao-Diaz II. I don't give a ****.
But honestly, yeah, Bradley went to **** after the fourth round. Maybe he was hurt, maybe he was gassed, but he went to ****.
Why is he fighting Chaves, anyway? Shouldnt he be fighting Rios?
If Bradley and Provodnikov fight, I'd be cool with the winner getting Pacquiao.
Nice imput :boxing: bradley was not sure of himself after the 4rth round. !radley was taking big shots from Pacquiao after that
Quit trolling... There should have never been a rematch as the first fight proved who was better, let alone a 3rd...
Both fighters were pretty busy doe. All out war, nobody runnin
