I was pleasantly surprised by his reaction to him winning. Maybe it was 'cause he thought he lost or something but he was humble in his winnings. He looked lost in his corner but when the rounds started he tried his best, so respect.

Bradley is pretty much screwed, he is a bad guy with no fanbase
Bradley basically will never ever be a draw now, everyone seems to hate him. Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the bad guy but at least he dominates his opponents and doesn't run like a chicken with a flicking jab. Bradley is trying so hard to be like floyd the guy is just not marketable.
Things were fishy when Arum paid Bradley a guarantee $5 million, that is a higher Guarantee than Cotto got I believe. I think if the fight did 1 million plus ppv buys he could walk away with 8 to 10 million total.
Bradley ruined his good guy image to play a villain. Only problem is his bad guy persona is not very likeable it seems forced and fake. If you notice something too Bradley who was even more religious than Pacquiao before and would always thank jesus after his fights while walking to the ring with gospel music, stopped doing it, this dude basically sold his soul.Last edited by hectari; 06-10-2012, 07:46 PM.Comment

This is what I have been saying except I had to watch it a second time to realize it. I was crying robbery all over these forums after the fight. I was so mad I watched it again and that's when I realized Tim did his thing in the pressed the fight and win the fight.
Pac is a one trick poni.Comment

Props to Manny & the PINOY FANS for SHOWING ULTIMATE CLASS
I mean you have fighters who got thoroughly beaten want to make excuses, fans throwing stuff in the ring and drinks at figthers if they didnt get a decision in a close fight, if this was any other fighter and their fanbase and the same exact thing happened, they wouldnt have shown half the class, restraint, & sportsmanship that manny & the pinoy fans at the fight did.Comment

He's screwed anyway, he's not going to recover from a beating like that very easily and it's going to happen again in the rematch.Comment

I did not watch the fight on HBO but can imagine how bias it was.
I watched it on another network a shakey stream and they (sorry I forget who it was), said they could see it 7-5 either way.
I need to see it again on a clear video, or wait for the replay on HBO next week. But sure sounds like Manny should of won from what I read.Comment

It wasnt Bradleys fault he is a pawn , Arum and Team Pac ran this entire show , nobody is going to pull a corrupt decision with an Arumn fight of this magnitude without Arums say so ,,, be real here !Comment

I think if opinions are going to change about Bradley, it should be based on performance, and not the fact he got a "gift" decision.
A few things I got from watching the fight yesterday;
1. Before the fight I mentioned Bradley not having any solid physical or technical advantages over Pacquiao. I still believe this. You can't win a fight on intangibles, and although Bradley possesses many of them, they are not enough against top class opposition.
2. It became painfully clear yesterday that Bradley just doesn't have the punching power to go toe to toe with other bigger, stronger punchers at 147. This is something u can overlook in certain fighters, but taking into consideration that Bradley's style is frameworked for a volume puncher that can get busy on the inside, u can't help but question his chances against other guys who can do this more effectively and with greater power. (Victor Ortiz,etc.)
3. The opportunity to counterpunch Pacquiao (especially off the straight left) presented itself yesterday, even in the early rounds, and Bradley didn't capitalize on it. He knew he wasn't gonna out muscle Pac, and still failed to adjust. Pac loves to give u the "angles", and as a result, is often off balanced when throwing combinations, leaving him susceptible to counters (Marquez exploited that).
4.Bradley has horrible head movement. And it's wild, because before the fight, Bradley had much to say about how he was gonna "outbox" Pac and not come straight at him. He came straight at him. Felt his power, and then began going straight back lol. He doesn't have the most solid footwork either.
There are a lot of holes in Bradley's game, these are just a few. He gave us a good, exciting fight. I just don't see him dominating for a very long time. Especially at 147Last edited by MalikKnucklez; 06-10-2012, 07:50 PM.Comment
