Comments Thread For: Bernstein Was Not Impressed With Pacquiao's Performance

[KnockUTheFukOut]

more props need to go to Bradley instead of people saying "Pacquiao did not look good"

Bradley uses OUTSTANDING Head Movement and he uses his height to his advantage by ducking underneath a lot of punches, even Pacquiao got a little frustrated with Bradley getting so low that he started leaning on the back of his head

so no Pacquiao did not look "IMPRESSIVE" because of the Pre Fight expectations in which the people who did think Pacquiao would win thought he would score a KO within 6-8 Rounds and no question they clearly underestimated Bradley

and by the way nothing as changed about Pacquiao nor has he slowed down all that much, you just have to look at his last two opponents, these are guys who moves well and are not flat footed, and they are not going to just stand in front of Pacquiao and eat his Power Punches like Cotto and Margarito, both can out-box Pacquiao and JMM did and at times (especially the last 3 Round) Bradley did as well

I am glad someone at least had the guts to say this. People are so infuriated by this decision and hate Bradley so much no one seemed to notice Pac's performance I guess. Granted I felt Pac won as I said many times but he was there to be hit all night, fought in spurts and he looked desperate and uncoordinated. Sure he hit Bradley with some monster lefts all night but Bradley only got stung once. He couldn't even drop Bradley. Bradley even though he won, is not JMM and he is not Floyd. The bottom line is, movement and straight counterpunching is Manny's kryptonite. If Bradley had power the fight would have been different I guarantee. A bad decision is a bad decision and sucks Pac got a bad one but he got a gift in the JMM fight so **** happens. JMM has been robbed what, 2-3 times? Campillo, Rios, Lara all got robbed recently as well. It happened to Manny, that is the only thing that is making this a huge deal, period. Personally I had JMM beating Manny 116-112 and to be generous to Manny, 115-113. No worldwide outrage, no special investigation, no Senate involvement, no expert panel of judges, no special show from Lampley. NOTHING.

No offense homey but Floyd didn't exactly looked KILLER against a passed it Cotto.

It's anyone's fight at this point...

No offense homey , but Pac ducked that version of Cotto , learn boxing and learn weight !

Pacs biggest wins are with CWs that bring a fiighter DOWN , without the CWs he looks ordinary ! , no offense just real boxing !

I thought it was a decent performance. Al needs to think more about those seemingly missed opportunities to counter; it's not that Bradley simply chose not to fire off the right hand, it's that Manny's movement allowed him to get lead foot positioning and neutralize the angle for the right hand all night. We all know Bradley has a good overhand right up top and straight to the body, but even though he was trying to step leftwards, he was doing it too far out and allowed Manny to stick his lead foot wide and land the left out of line of fire for the return right.

wrong! I said the exact same thing on a post 2 days ago. That Pac against bradly gets destroyed, like Ricky Hatton TKO! Pac still has the speed, but the power isn't there. He's still has no defense. When on defense he just hides behind his gloves. A much bigger Cotto tried that and he caught left uppercut and right hooks all night. Second he's trying two box too much, and if he tries to stand in the middle of the ring he gets destroyed. Just go watch the tape, U'll see he gets wild at times and so many counter opportunities. I constantly watch the fight and shake my head, because Pac is in 4 a rude awaking. Money better do it before somebody else does, because PACS DAYS R NUMBERED!

don't you ever get tired with this shit ever?

PAC has looked bad lately because all his latest opponents have done not much but run. There's a new standard for PAC...if he doesn't hurt or kd you than you automatically win that round.

On Saturday, June 9th, Manny Pacquiao offered up what looked to be a clear victory over the formidable Tim Bradley. Fighting inside of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada and looking for the fourth defense of his WBO welterweight title, Pacquiao took command in the early rounds of the fight with this power-punching while not appearing to be worried much about the incoming coming back his way.

Bernstein nailed it in his observations, Pac looked off balance and out of position a lot but thats not saying he still isnt a monster. If he fights like that against Mayweather he gets tattooed all night maybe even stopped late. If he fights like that against a healthy Bradley or even 154 Cotto he might get beaten. Regardless he appears to be slipping a bit.
