    people are so enamored with pac he gets credit for punches thrown as opposed to punches landed
    compubox counts punches that touch fighters in scoring areas. Bradley took those punches well but still landed none the less and did more damage to bradley. I feel bad for him cuz he is truely the victim of his own undeserved success.

          Is there any video showing Bradley landing punches himself? Because I didn't see those either.

          Bradley lost the fight, and him getting the Arum gift was the worst thing that could have happened to him. People already didn't like Bradley, now they think he's a joke.

              pac throws the harder shots but to say he did more damage is a bit much. bradley was barely damaged by fights end. we've all seen how fighters look when they ate a good number of pac's punches. bradley's appearance pretty much showed he didn't get hit much

                Diaz makes sense with what he said in regards to Peterson, but I think Bradley has created certain expectations for himself and he's gonna have to sacrifice those to remain relevant in the sport. He'll have to settle for Peterson or Alvarado, when it's clear that he wants better than that.

                  It sucks for Bradley, but perception is everything and HBO really screwed him with the tone of their coverage. It's not all their fault of course, Bradley is an excellent boxer but he's not a big puncher and that's always going to be an issue for him.

                    Bradley made it worse for himself cos he didnt follow the blueprint of what he thought he needed to do in the fight to win, ie taking the fight to Pac and being aggressive unlike JMM is what bradley said.

                    We saw that didnt happen during the fight, so by Bradleys ommision he couldnt possibly have drawn that fight let alone get a win.
