Originally posted by Rome-By-Ko View Post1st,The only people who matter scored the fight for Bradley,and the one who scored it for Pac also saw a close fight..Not the one sided beat down so many claim to have seen...
2end,Pac did not respect Bradley's power??So why not go reckless and just run in throwing punches then??This is a big misconception imo,sure Pac is a stronger puncher(I believe everyone knew that going into the fight)but to say he did not respect Bradley's power is ridiculous...Like I said why not just run in on Bradley then??Bradley was more then exchanging with Pac on many occasions...
3rd,Why do you believe Pac was ineffective in the later rds??You say Pac let off the gas,I say it was the body work and Pace that Bradley made Pac fight at..Bradley imo controlled the pace of this fight,the pace certainly did not favor Pac..It was a slow pace and Bradley was aggressive unlike a JMM who always responded to what Pac did,and really never controlled pace...
IMO it was a close fight that could have went either way..Noway in hell did Pac dominate that fight..I can dig anyone saying they thought Pac won,but a one sided fight it was not..The night of the fight I did not think it was one sided,and that stands right now...
You may say that Manny won close but there was no way that Manny lost that fight.
2 - You need to respect everyone's power to a certain extent but one can see that Manny was taking Bradley's punches well and didn't look concerned. Perhaps Bradley will have more power in the rematch .... remember that Bradley was fighting with 2 bad feet so it must have been hard for him to put everything into his punches .... but for that reason alone, one can see why Bradley's power wasn't anything to write home about on that night.
3 - Manny did OK in the later rounds but he didn't look like a fighter that appeared to be worried or concerned that he may be down or close in the fight. Manny felt he was way ahead by then and did just enough in the last few rounds to hopefully win them .... but the old Manny would have persisted once he knew that he had Bradley fighting with 2 bum feet and gone for the kill.

Originally posted by ADP02 View Post1 - When 90% of people believe Manny won. When 5 judges reviewed it and also had Manny winning and I watched it and thought it was a no brainer then I would have to disagree with at least 2 of the judges on that night. There was no way that I could have given Bradley the win nor a draw. I can only see this as a Manny win.

2.I don't agree that you have to respect someones power..Look at Cotto Paulie M,how about even Bradley vs Alexander,or even Maidana vs Ortiz..When a fighter senses that he took your best shot and he is doing damage to his opponent he goes a bit reckless because he feels his opponent has nothing to threaten him with..That is not the way Manny fought,Manny fought like he did not want to eat something to clean the whole night...Don't be fooled by commentators or even the fact Pac did not eat big shots(clean anyway)..Pac kept his hands up most of the damn fight(when do you ever see him do that)Pac usually takes risk that gets him caught because he has lost respect for his opponent...Bradley's punches had an effect on Pac and as I said before,Pac was the only one damage after heated exchanges..The busted mouth..
3.Manny clearly lost the later rds,he was spent and very tired looking..Like I said this came from body work and having a fighter who made him fight when he did not want to and also made him miss a ton...Bradley was effective throughout the fight..Pac showed you how much from the 9th rd on imo..He lost those rds in my book..He also lost rds 1-3 before Bradley hurt his foot...
At the end of the day 115-113 score means there was a close fight happening..In a close fight you can never say one fighter did not deserve the nod over the other..We can all have are opinions on who we thought won,but 3 professional judges(damn the media this is these guys profession)saw a close fight..Then the judge came on HBO and owned Jim and still told you live on tv that it was a close fight..Like I said in a close fight anyone can win...It's not hard to see a lot of rds was close,and Bradley did enough to pull it off bro imo and Pac did just enough to lose...

All these bradley fanboys trying to convince us they think brad did enough and Pac did enough to lose?
Most people who know anything about boxing think Pac did enough to win 10 rounds, so any discusion that deviates away from that is just waffling from a salesman trying to sell you something, or a story.
