    Do you really believe that excuse ? Come on what Bradley foot did a 360 and twisted it off or maybe Pac hit his foot with a hammer.

      Are you still taking bets on this fight?

        He was getting touched and couldnt land except the weak jab in the first rounds so I dont think it affected him that much.

          I was surprised it was his ankles that got hurt. If there was going to be an injury i would have bet on it being to the head with those two mega-domes in the ring.

            On HBO's Face Off tonight Bradley had this to say:

            "The first fight, Manny, I didn't have my feet under me from the second round. From the second round I didn't have my foot. Fourth round too. I hurt the other foot, Manny. And this time I'll be real healthy. Really healthy for this fight."

              Good ankles or bad ankles, even with 3 arms, Bradley doesn't have the skill set to beat manny. Ie he doesn't have a good counter/lead right like morales, jmm

Sure it happened from getting out of the way of pac's punches. What's he's supposed to do just stand there? It's a lot different than getting your orbital bone broken cause the whole idea is to punch the other guy in the face. With that said it's still part of the game. But a freak thing none the less.
                I think this will be a much better fight this time for this very reason. Not to mention they both are coming in with a chip on their shoulder.

                IMO Bradley won the first to rounds pretty clearly.
                Just watched the fight again the other night to refresh my memory, Timmy did pretty good the first couple rds. They could of gone either way. From the 4th on it was all Pac. Stopped watching after the 10th because that was the 7th rd Pac won, IMO winning him the fight.

                  I don't think he will beat Pac either. But Bradley did mention that his feet were a factor so I thought was interesting given this thread.

                  Then again on that same HBO Face Off he said that he thinks he won the first fight fight 8 rounds to 4. So Tim might be a little bit delusional.

                    Wait, wait, wait, are you asking if a fractured foot would affect a fighter's performance in a boxing match?? Nah, nope, no way, you're not asking (that).

                    It may not affect you playing video games or something. But come on...........
