How can he stick to his "Game Plan" like on early rounds, as you said, keeping pressure on Pac and missing wild punches depleted his energy quicker. If he pace himself like his other fights and their first fight, it will be the same story as the first fight, lopsided win for Pac.

tim was banking on the whole pac is not the same anymore so he went in for the kill. had he box the fight would still end up the same way with pac winning. its like u guys are low key making excuses. i remember in the 4th fight with pac/marquez, after the fight was over some pac fans on here was saying if pac would have kept it up fighting the way he fought in the early rounds 1-2, marquez would have lost, etc. and the reply to that was pac couldnt keep up fighting that way because of what marquez was doing. this is the same for why tim switch up his game plan against pac in the rematch.Comment

Did you guys not see that stiff jab on the 8th round by Pacquiao? Bradley was badly rocked by it, fell onto the ropes with his mouth open, head rocking.
great great fight. Never thought bradley had it in him, loved his gameplan to KO pacquiao, that i believe was his only way to win and win the respect of the fans. no way could he outbox pacquiao, he just got dominated doing that in the 1st fight and the judges would be pressured to favor pacquiaoComment

He didn't start with the one punch KO crap and the posturing and posin until late in the fight.
If you watched the fight, Tim seemed to just change up. His corner felt basically the same thing. There was no real "turning point" that suggested tim needed to change how he was fighting. He literally stopped boxing.
When he did this in the Provodnikov fight, he had been knocked down and hit with dozens of flush. He was well behind on the cards. That wasn't what happened in this fight, which is why alot of people are asking this.Comment

ONLY guy who ever gave Pacquiao trouble was Marquez, the well-rounded & confusing fighter Bradley tried to exploit and mimic Marquez style for the W
^did you honestly predict bradley would go balls to the walls, pressure and beable to push Pacquiao back? They did not see this coming, if it weren't for Pacquuiaos experience, he would of lost.
Bradley has developed his power, rocked Marquez and made Provodnikov piss blood. On that 4th round, he looked monstrous with that right haymaker that lifted manny off his feet. Roach told him not to stay in the pocket since he would get KO and to outbox him.
Its a good gameplan, he did well the 1st 6 rounds, do you honestly believe he could outbox Manny and win a UD? he got dominated the 1st game trying to ride his bicycle. even if he could somehow outpoint Manny's vast number of punch statistics, the judges would favor Pacquiao regardless and he'll never earn the respect of the fans. Bradley did well, alot better than the 1st fight and there was no other way for him, just listen to his trainer Diaz and Bradley himself, im sure they know more than you do about boxing.
Freddie Roach was disappointed in himself for preparing the wrong fight. Pacquiao is an aging legend, his experience earned him the victory here.

He was even through 6 IMO so clearly the gameplan was effective seeing as how IMO he lost the 1st 8 rds in the 1st fight.
You wrote alot but avoided the point-why is it a good strategy for someone with no KO power who is an above average boxer to try and win by KO? That, IMO, is as silly as Canelo trying to outbox floyd.Comment
