I thought I read it in this forum someone mentioning it, if not then obviously I misread.
oh stfu, so you think Teddy didn't look like an idiot the way he was yelling and screaming at Tim? How the round has started and Teddy still looking like an idiot with his speeches and still holding on to Tim's arms? I simply made a point, and I thought I read it here that Tim was firing Teddy. So I simply misread that part, no need for your bs 'pac fanatics...' comment.
Yea I don't think Bradley leaves Atlas, Bradley can still wipe out that division til Maidana comes back.
When did he say he was firing him?

Nobody did. Pac fanatics like to make up random ass shit sometimes for no reason.

Bradley had the wrong strategy and a crazy old man yelling at him and Pacquiao, although victorious, seemed to have lost some pop on his combinations .
I hope he stays retired, he's given this sport epic battles throughout his career and i don't want to see him fight on too much past his prime.
I would be okay with seeing a Pac/May rematch so Pac can get one last big payday, but the outcome will be the same
floyd rematch is the only fight i wanna see. if its not floyd then stay retire champ.
PacBrad3 was more entertaining than all Floyd fights combined lol
I thought this was a very good fight!
As always, Bradley gave a great effort but it just wasn't his night. I think Timothy is and has been one of the very top welterweights for a long time. He should hold his head high for the way he conducts himself in and outside of the ring. I hope to see him get a few nice wins before he retires.
No body said he did not fight a good fight!
Tim would have beaten most welter weights that night!
I don't know what was worse that night Monica Bradley on the phone when Tim goes down or Mommy D with the Mary Chain!

Well said. Great post.

Which nullifies the "Pacquiao was more aggressive" argument.
The real bottom line, and I'm done with the topic, is that people gave rounds to Manny undeservedly. Bradley won 5 rounds. Had the 7th not been a knockdown, he'd have won 6, and likely wouldn't have gotten dropped later, thus making it a draw.
My only point is that the fight was significantly closer than people are making it out to be; Manny didn't look any kind of impressive against Bradley compared to how he looked against Floyd; a rematch of MayPac is pointless because it would go the same way, and Manny should stay retired. Period. He needs to enjoy his retirement.
Bradley? Should keep fighting, should keep Atlas, should hold his head up and be accepting of the fact that only one fighter has ever beaten him.
Lol @ Bradley winning 5 rds!
I like Bradley and respect him greatly but you are delusional. He even knows that he lost convincingly.
If a judge gave him 4 rds, which the scorecards indicate that they did, that was being more than generous.
Surprisingly good PPV. I enjoyed all the fights.
Valdez and Ramirez really impressed and Pac looked great for an old vet.
it was a good event. hopefully top rank does this more often cause even the untelevised bouts had good matchmaking with a few decent undefeated guys going at it (Kavaliauskas-Ilbay, Ponomarev-Solomon, and Gvozdyk putting on a good performance).
Well-rounded card and an entertaining main event.
according to the punch stats ive seen, manny only threw 10 more punches against bradley compared to the amount he threw against floyd.the shoulder injury excuse was always BS.and the ppv numbers will be lower than floyd v berto.
Well that makes you an atg all time top 19 All time quee.rr.. You like that?... Good job!

Landing the same as your opponent means you weren't the aggressor.
The judges gave it to Manny because Manny had the homefield advantage. Manny didn't do much better against Bradley than he did against Floyd EXCEPT the two knockdowns. Yet for some reason, he had more punches thrown against Floyd (presumably with a torn rotator cuff) than he did against Bradley.
Pacquiao was LESS busy in this fight yet got wide scores in his favor.
I don't buy it. If I were NSAC, I'd have put Duane Ford and CJ Ross back up in there. Bradley would have won the fight easily.
Then you are being subjective.. you really don't know if it's homecooking..the bottom line is that Pacquiao won..the scores were decent...they probably weren't accurate but it doesn't change the outcome anymore than pacquiao could change his with mayweather.
Pacquiao was less busy but was more accurte....threw more...landed more..so that pretty much sums it up.
Damage was equal.
Neither fighter had an advantage, thus no general ship.
Both fighters took roughly equal shots, thus no defense upper hand.
The round was EVEN.
well most judges give it to the guy who is the aggressor..so go figure....and if both landed nearly the same number..the round would have been given to pacquiao.
Manny didn't land telling blows until Round 6. Everything else was tentative at best.
I keep telling people, it's not about who's more aggressive despite being ineffective. It's about who is controlling the round. Nobody controlled Round 4.
If nobody won the round---you have to base it on damage or ring gneraltiship. And if Bradley was being the matador and Paquiao being the bull...they both nearly landed the name number of punches...how is that not effective punching? So damage is factored and you can't really know that unless you were at ringside.
