    Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Proves That He Still Has A lot Left

    By Luis Sandoval - MGM Grand, Las Vegas - Manny Pacquiao (56-5-2, 38KOs) had a lot to lose in his fight Saturday night but he set the record straight and redeemed himself by outpointing a game Timothy Bradley (31-1, 12KOs) with a wide unanimous decision victory with scores of 118-110 and 116-112 twice.

    While their first right was marred in controversy with Bradley being awarded a split decision win, their second affair ended with a definitive victory for Pacquiao who avenged his loss from two years ago. Manny not only recovered his WBO Welterweight title with his win but also kept himself at the top of the division as he beat an undefeated champion in his prime.

    Both men had vowed to be aggressive with Bradley going as far as saying the fight wouldn’t go the distance and early on, they both made good on their promise.

    The first round started off slow with a jabbing contest and both men were throwing but nothing significant was landing. In the 2nd round however, another slow start quickly turned into a shootout as Pacquiao landed a straight left that appeared to momentarily hurt Bradley. Pacquiao immediately followed up with another left as a stunned Bradley immediately tried to fire back and landed right hands of his own. Both men traded violently as they provided plenty of action in comparison to this point in their first bout. [Click Here To Read More]

    Good article to read...
    Congratulations to manny for a wonderfull night.

    Bradley did ok. if only the he could punch he would be a wonderfull fighter.

    Pacquiao looked really good, but it is real that he has really changed as a fighter.

    What would you guys like to see next ?? I dont know why but i keep thinking pac vs provo would be great... i know i know everybody wants the floyd fight but i have moved on from that.

    Good night of boxing tonight !

      Pacquiao still has something left but I think he would lose to Marquez if they fought again.

          i am inclined to agree. Will definitely KO pacman if herrera is in the corner, and I'm taking the piss, i genuinely believe with herrera in the corner pacman is fûcked once more.

            Damn Manny Pacquiao is a great fighter. I mean, he's clearly not even close to prime anymore, and he's still beating guys like Tim Bradley fairly clearly. I wouldn't say he has a lot left, but when he can win this fight so far gone, there's no one besides Mayweather or Marquez I'd say he wouldn't win.

              Honestly, I don't know what fight you guys were watching but Manny proved to me that it's time to retire. He showed glimpses of his speed and power that he used to have, which have both gone down, and don't even get me started on his stamina and aggressiveness...I mean, he spent 3/4 of the time just watching Bradley and wouldn't let go of his shots, I guess that also had to do with Manny being more cautious now and Tim just swinging haymakers but you could tell he wasn't the same mentally. He didn't look like he was even having fun in there.

              ALLL he ****ing throws is the same 1-2 straight punches down the middle and he went downstairs with that like twice all night. Bradley kept circling to his right and Manny just kept following him and throwing a straight left, like who the **** can hit a guy turning to their right with a straight left without setting it up with a jab or moving him in place with a right hook, AT LEAST throw a left hook in there or cut the ring off and make the dude work if you're not gonna work yourself. Honestly Manny didn't win that fight Bradley just lost it, he throws dumb wild looping **** and this time he just did the same but threw them harder and missed bigger so he gassed and that changed the fight and let Manny win by doing a half ass job of fighting 1 min in a round.

              I'm glad he won cuz I love Manny but I want to see him retire, can't bare to watch him throw predictable wrist flicking combos and potentially walking into something and getting KO'd again

                Manny Pacquiao is one hell of a fighter. That's one of his best wins for me.

                  Pac can still beat fighters in his weight class. I think he can still beat Danny Garcia, adrien broner, malignaggi, Keith Thurman.
