2:31 Counter left Pacquiao
Seriously? A counter? It looks like he hammered him on the shoulder That was not a punch that landed.

2:18 Right Jab Pacquiao
He sliped it. It didn't even touch him.
2:09 Jab Pacquiao
It didn't land. See my frame by frame above.
2:07 Jab Straight Combo Pacquiao
It wasn't a jab. It was a backhand. Illegal. Doesn't count.

and the second punch went right over Bradley's head.

1:59 Right Jab Pacquiao
I counted this one.
1:54 Jab Straight combo Pacquiao
I posted a frame by frame above. It clearly did not land.
1:30 Left counter Pacquiao
There was no left. He only threw a right that was blocked.

0:55 Counter Right pacquiao
For whatever reason, my HD copy is missing a few few seconds including this one so I doesn't show this punch. On youtube, it didn't look like it landed, but it's hard to tell with the quality. I'll give you that one if you want.

Adios, please allow the door to hit you on your ass on the way out........

[gmc_rfc_06]

I agree

But i think it it was a matter of timing, Morrales was prime in the first fight Pac was not, in the second Pac was prime and morrales was not and so on

The both are excellent at getting in the best punches in heated exchanges and IMO it is in this trade Manny shines (and prime morrales)

I think the first fight was the closest in terms of prime vs prime.

In the first fight Pac was about to enter his prime while Morales was just a little past his. Morales losing to Raheem after the Pac fight showed that, he had one last top performance left in him and it was the first Pac fight.

While another fight like that would be great, there's nobody from 140 to 147 that's like Morales so we're probably going to be stuck with more average fights. Pac-Cotto II at 154 would greatly interest me though.

What are your thoughts after the 2nd view?

I saw the Bradley vs Pacquiao fight once and I only gave Bradley 2 rounds after that night.

However, earlier today I saw Bailey vs Jones and decided to watch the last two championship rounds of Pacquiao's somewhat controversial SD loss before going out the door.

After the 2nd view, I actually gave Bradley both the 11th and 12th round - something I didn't do after the first viewing.

While Max and Lampley were talking about Manny's calves, mustache, hairstyle and other nonsensical bullcrap, Tim was actually outworking Manny and landed more shots. There was no doubt that Pacquiao landed the harder shots but he did absolutely nothing in those two last championship rounds. Tim landed jabs, right hand counters and hooks. Manny tried to steal the rounds in the last seconds but it wasn't enough.

So, so far I've given Bradley 4 rounds. I need to re-watch the whole fight again.

What are your thoughts after the 2nd viewing?

so did you ...you even picked him to win...dont turn your back on him now that you were very off with your predction same way you were with shame roidsley...

smh @ this dude^^^^^^

calm down lil man...when did I EVER pick AGAINST Shane?!?...NEVER!!!...and NEVER will!!!...now do the math on that and see what you come out with....if thats too tough for you to equate, then just peep the avi....thats one of my ALL-TIME favs!!

smarten up lil' man....I NEVER said Timmy was some slick highly skilled dude....I said he was a young determined hungry lion in his prime....now as for my prediction/pick for this fight....I picked Timmy to get robbed or knockedout in the mid to late rounds...OFFICIAL prediction was Manny by UD

let it go lil' man....I don't dislike Manny or his peeps...I just dislike YOU!!!! ...stop messing with me lil' man...I try to be cool with EVERYBODY and keep it boxing....I don't like e-beef and lil' corny dudes coming at my neck from behind a screen...thats corny!!...let it go!!

[IMDAZED]

up until a few minutes ago...I only watchd the fight on fight night....didn't rewatch it till now....no sound HD, pen and pad...and a cold redbull!!

I had it 5 rounds each going into the 11th....I stopped there because I didn't think it was close at first...I'm afraid to keep rewatching because I might end up with a card that say Bradley won

Me too . I stopped watching it again after round six because I had it even...after generously giving Pacquiao a round because I didn't want to think I was being crazy! I think I might have Bradley winning as well. I'ma have to start over smh.

Sweet, maybe a bunch of Pact.a.r.d.s will stop watching and make boxing better for all of us.

Do not depend on Compubox. HBO in their non brilliance does though for some reason.

When you watch the fight, there are many factors in scoring, not just "landed" punches. they do not tell the whole story.

There are many factors on scoring a round, I am not going to list them because you all already know them, but in the end they mean this: The fighter who lays more hurt and controls the round.

Now for the pro Bradley crowd, they are giving Bradley a lot of credit at the times he was on his bicycle and sometimes when he was on it was was doing OK and actually keeping Manny at bay with punches. Most of the time though he was not boxing, but retreating without throwing hardly anything at all that had intent. Pacquiao was not doing anything either, but he was the one pressing for action and was getting credit for it.

When you box, you still have to make someone pay. Negating their offense with movement is simply not enough. You still have to show intent and you still have to dish out hurt.
