What does that mean? Mean what I said dummy!

Bradley landed the punches the fans saw? You mean the 2% of fans that actually had Bradley winning?

It's not really that hard.

I mean it's all speculation and what ifs now when it comes to Bradley's ankle...but my take is, if Manny felt threatened enough by Timmah to do more, he would have done so. He reminded me of a student who just wanted to put forth enough effort to get by each round with a passing grade. Especially after he jumped out to such a big lead in the first half of the fight.

Just my opinion but even a Bradley with a 100% ankle -- still gets beat decisively in that fight. But whatever. Guess we'll never know. It's too bad also about the ankle, because had Timmy not twisted it we would have likely had a much better and more exciting finish to the bout.

And lets not forget that a pretty nice power shot was landed (along with a flurry...even if it was a wild and mostly inaccurate flurry) square to the face that cause Tim to backtrack away from Manny -- which is precisely when he twisted it. The twist wasn't just bad luck. Manny's flurry led to it.

Stop ok. Be a fan for once. We all saw the fight fan boy. Lampley convinced YOU and your fan boys that Pacquiao was landing at will. Not the case. We all saw Pacquiao land early and miss late and Bradley miss early and land late.

Those guys who do just enough always lose..All Pac did was make Bradley look to be in control of the fight..Just my opinion..
