Arum's plan backfired, Bradley is still a nobody

[Califas]

What do you mean worked?

He wasn't getting hit. Hell people laud Floyd for not getting hit and throwing <20 punches per round. Manny's defense was vastly overlooked in the fallout.

This is indeed true in my opinion.

[THE REED]

No it's not. Hence why I'm asking. Also yes Manny's defense was overlooked because Bradley wasn't missing on purpose it's the subtle movements that confused him. Vastly underrated defense.

Bradley fought more consistently thoughout the fight, Mnny went through huge lulls, literally full minutes before he decided to throw a punch.

Let me repeat my opening sentence in this thread.

I... Thought... Manny.... Won.

Reed have I accused you of not saying that?

If Manny did have lulls it was towards the end where I think Bradley won about 2 of the last 6 rounds maybe 3 at best. Let's be fair to both by saying there was a lot of looking by both fighters.

IMO Bradley did not do nearly enough to actually win. He won some rounds, but for the most part, even when Manny was gassing and fairly inactive late in the fight, Bradley continued to circle and throw "stay away" jabs. If he would have taken that opportunity to actually go on the offensive, he could have swayed many opinions. I mean he got the judges on his side somehow, but to me anyway, he mostly fought only to stay upright, not win.


In the end I saw the fight as, Manny is slipping and Bradley was scared. I cannot see many people shelling out $60 for a remix of their first fight. Manny is at the end of his career and wants to cash out, and give the fans some exciting fights. I also feel he probably feels more desire to prove himself against the guy who always gives him the toughest fights. Marquez is his true Achilles Heel.

Explain the humor.. No seriously, explain it. Im on your ass now.

[brick wall]

pac has nothing to prove against bradley...their first fight clearly demonstrates that pac is on another level even if pac's already on the downhill and bradley's in his prime.

pac is at peace with himself for what happened in the bradley fight. the fans were protesting the result more than he was so i don't think he has any desire in him to prove to anybody that he did win the fight by fighting bradly again. besides, apart from a few pac haters, nobody really believed bradley won so what is there to prove to?

Bradley was scared? Of who???

Well he was crippled by Pac. You don't need to go on though, Natas already destroyed everyone with an agenda in this thread.
