    Bradley tried to pull a Marquez. Wasted the fight trying to emulate Marquez's KO when he should've just stayed true to his usual style.

    Bradley should fight like Bradley, not anyone else.

      In the 24/7, they showed Bradley looking exhausted with the kids. I wonder if Bradley overtrained. He completely gassed out by the middle of the fight. In round 12, Pac was still loose. He looked like he was on the 17th mile of a Marathon.. just cruisin along.

        He was injured.

        Man, to quote Mugatu, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

        He complained after the 5th he was hurt. Diaz was constantly telling him to fight through it, there's no quitters etc. He said it hurt going back. His calf had gone.

        Anybody who has pulled a calf knows it destroys your mobility. You could see how Bradley couldn't balance.

        Why is nobody on this forum recognizing this? Everybody is just dissing Bradley who was doing well rounds 1-6 (I had it 3-3 after 6).

              I think that was tactical. I think he was either really gassed, or hurt, or messed up, and decided he had to lure Pac in for all or nothing type shot. I didn't like it, but I'll give him a pass on it for that reason.

                You should perhaps read his post for context. The way it reads, indicates that it is what he thought would happen, not what actually happened.

                That being said, I had Bradley winning the fight. However my opinion has changed, now that the whiskey and adrenaline has subsided. Have Pacquiao winning 8-4 on my second watch; I still feel that it was a close fight, but Pacquiao, ironically, outboxed Bradley.

                I feel that Bradley shot himself in the foot. I wouldn't go so far as to say victory would have been certain if he tried boxing Pacquiao ( as he never looked dominant in the rare occasions that he tried), but he robbed himself of any chance of victory by approaching the fight the way that he did.

                    Two fights in a row, Pacquiao used his footwork and angles to cause limb problems for Timmeh. No coincidence.

                      Idiots

                      Pac dogged Bradley just like the first fight. Bradley lost both fights easily to Pac. He took a beatdown to Provo. He wins on points to a drug free, smaller slower 40 year old counter puncher. So lower your expectations of Bradley. Who is Bradley going to fight next, Paulie Mags who hits softer than Tim himself???
