Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Gets Revenge, Decisions Bradley For WBO Belt

[Butler]

Seriously. He looked like a shell of his former self, and I am actually scared he will get KOd in one of his upcoming fights.

He looked like Morales in the 3rd Pacquiao fight. Eerily similar. Gun shy, and thinking way too much about getting hurt, instead of fighting his fight.

i saw a more careful not reckless pacquiao.. he's on top.. no need to be too aggressive to win fans..

Happy for Pacquiao that he won but he looks like a shell of his former self. Manny 2009 would have stopped Bradley. He looked the same against Rios but Rios is a bum and couldn't do anything about it.
Bradley looked good the first 3 rounds but then started backing up and trying to set up Manny for one big shot and that was all wrong for him.

Bradley definitely belongs in the ring with anyone at 140 or 147. He went for the knockout to early and just like against Ruslan, his legs were jelly. Would of loved to see him win convincingly or PAC win by ko so either one of them could demand a fight against my boy Mayweather. Bradley just needed to win maybe 8 rounds and leave no doubt and PAC had to have a knockout. Because of the outcome, I doubt either would be in the Mayweather sweepstakes. Also, the undercard ****** because I didn't really know anyone of them, but to their credit, they were actually some good fights. Very competitive. I got my money's worth. Hopefully I'll get the same on May 3rd.

Really fun fight. I thoroughly enjoyed watching these two unlike the first fight. Bradley has peaked he is a top 5-10 p4p guy that will give anyone a tough fight. Pacquiao is still close enough to prime to beat guys like that. I really wish that he could fight a Danny Garcia, Lucas Matthyse, even Thurman would be intriguing. I don't want to see Marquez or Bradley again. These three fighters are what they are, and their fights will always end up close.

I think Pac should fight canelo for a final paycheck and call it a career. it will draw huge PPV #'s and if canelo wins, his popularity will soar even more.

Flo will not sign to fight pac regardless of how slow or sluggish pac looked tonight. Flo's team hand pick'em well. they aint fighting someone with movement/speed (see maidana over khan. although I think he beats both, they aint taking a chance on khan)

just saying

You should stop watching boxing if you scored that fight a draw. Bradley lost every round after round 6. It was not even close. And I thought Bradley won the first fight. But he was completely outclassed here.

He watched it.......on his phone.




Cheap ass bastard.

Bradley is an awful fighter to fight.He bops his head too much.I dont think he is a great fighter

Pacquiao is a pinch slower, but so is Mayweather. Let us also not discredit Timothy Bradley, Jr., a top 5 pound-for-pound fighter in the world. A guy who, in my opinion, could give Mayweather all kinds of trouble.

He started well in this fight, but it took a lot of energy to throw as hard and as often as he did in rounds 1-5. He gassed himself a bit, while Pacquiao is used to fighting hard in the mid to late rounds.

It's not realistic to expect Manny to balls-out crush a fighter of this caliber, in his prime, but he did outclass him. Really twice, but that's another argument.

I agree that Pacquiao wouldn't beat Mayweather now. From 2007-2010, he would have rolled Mayweather. I mean cut and lump up his face, wobbled him multiple times, perhaps even KO'd him. That's why Money ducked the fight.

You have to admit though, he had a chance if he would have done the drug test that he decided to do in November

[pactyson]

You misunderstand. floyd has been fighting like that his entire career. Pac hasn't. It was aggression that made him Pacman.

This version of Pacman looks too tentative and ready to go at any moment. If he has to fight like that now, then it says he isn't the same. JMM broke him psychologically. Previous Pac (against Morales, JMM) would get wobbled, then come back with a flurry.

Oh really? You forgot to point out that Pac moved up 5-6 weight classes. Of course he has to be careful against bigger harder punching opponents. Actually if you want to act like a smartass, Emanuel Stewart and others started to point out starting about Diaz fight that Pac was transitioning from a straight brawler to more of a boxer. And Freddie Roach and Pac himself confirmed they were working more towards being a smarter fighter since quite a while a ago.



JMM broke him? No I believe the person truly broken is JMM himself. Why? Because he's the one who truly knows how he KO'ed Manny. You can argue about this matter but this is a different dicussion.



"Previous Pac (against Morales, JMM) would get wobbled, then come back with a flurry."

Really? And what weight class were those fights at? And which version of JMM was this? I think the non-performanced-enhanced version without the performance enhanced power.

[Light_Speed]

Good performance from Manny, he's showing some decline but that's to be expected, and he's fighting more carefully now but he still gets the job done. Bradley did have some good moments so props to him, he's not very smart in the ring but he's determined, gotta respect that.

Marquez 5 is probably next.
