Who Won Pac-Bradley? Post fight discussion STOP MAKING NEW THREADS ABOUT THIS FIGHT.

[THE REED]

There is no world in which bradley wins 7 rounds because:
Pacquiao has more power, more speed and stamina as no other fighter in the sport(even Floyd seems to get a little tired sometimes, but his style isn't based on activity , is it).
As Freddie Roach says: he has lots of muscle and no defense.
I see Bradley as yet another Sugar Shane Mosley, all talk but moonwalk come fight night.
And what is it with Bradley sparring his daddy in 24/7 Ep3.

Power and speed don't win fights. Stamina is up for grabs.

What are you thinkin?


Exactly why Im hyped for the fight... And Im not. Even if Bradley wins, he wont win.

Cynical much? Robberies happen often enough but I like to think that there will be competent and independent judging for a high profile fight such as this. IMO you don't go into watching a fight with that mindset. I like to think that more often than not, judges get the right decision - that's just my 2 cents.

I would never make that bet Reed, because I could never EVER be able to keep my part of the deal.

Although I need to really slow down..... I spent damn near a grand on kicks in the last 3-4 weeks. Even my girl, who lets me buy whatever kicks I want, told me I am going overboard. Time to slow down.

I thought only women had shoe obsessions...

I can't see the fight going more than 10 rounds to be honest.

Power and speed do win fights and Pacquiao has the better stamina

Realistic. If it's a close fight, you think Bradley's getting the nod? Cmon, son.

Nah, there's way more to the fight game than those two things.

And, not really.

Pacquiao aggressive style is favoured by the judges and fans can influence judging as well by reacting when punches are thrown even if they don't land cleanly.

When I judge I fight, I give the judges a couple rounds leeway because it is not too hard to call one round differently especially in a close fight.

Normally I'd agree, but the past year or has changed my mind. So many relevant fights have had a scorecard controversy of some kind, even fights where we go in expecting one. I'll go in hopeful, but not the least bit surprised if Bradley got screwed. It makes too much sense.

Obviously there is more, but having more power and some extra speed makes a hell of a difference.

Bradley is one of the fittest boxers out there but Pacquiao has proven he fights with a higher work rate, that Bradley has not matched.

I didn't say it doesn't help, I said it doesn't just win fights. Devon Alexander was both faster and cracked harder than Bradley and he got mauled.

I agree with you on the workrate, but that workrate is solely based on the stylistic matchups hes been given. Much easier to tee off on a comeforward plodder like Clottey, Margarito, DLH (at that point) than someone who uses good footwork, head and lateral movement, and comes in awkwardly.
