Bradley is a classy guy.

[Augustane]

He wanted the best version of Manny Pacquiao possible and fought his heart out to try to decisively win. He started showboating during the fight, but showed great sportsmanship after the fight and gave Manny and his team all the respect.

I wouldn't even have been mad if Bradley won. He's a good face for boxing and I hope the guy wins something big sometime soon.

Does anybody have the post-fight conference? I can't get enough of how mutually respectful Pacquiao and Bradley are. I wouldn't be surprised if they become friends after this, similar to Pacquiao - Cotto.

He's classy he will go on to capture the title once again. PAC beats Marquez, he beats Alvarado or rios and then we can see PAC brad 3 PAC will win then retire. That leaves the belt for Bradley to pick up swiftly

i was ready to call him a classy guy and become a fan of his again but his torn calf muscle excuse ruined any chance of redemption from fans imo.

he had a chance to get back into the fans good graces but ruined it with that lame excuse.

It was an awesome fight and I loved it. I felt bad for Tim, because after that break when he told his corner "My (leg/calf?) hurts" he really came back out a different fighter. Abandoned his game plan and spent the second half of the fight surviving and swinging wild.

I want to see Pacquiao/Marquev V. **** it.

As for Tim, there's plenty of excellent fights out there for him. Rios, Alvarado, Provo***ov II, Vargas, etc. If Tim gets some good wins, I wouldn't mind them doing it a third time, tbh.

No he's not, he's a scumbag trapped in a gentlemans body.

Tim is a beast, an intrinsic part of the fabric of boxing. A lot of people texting me to say they became a fan of his too last night.

Deep down, I think he might even be happy that he has closure on this Pacquiao issue, which is reflected in how philosophically he is taking the defeat. Rather than be the guy who robbed Manny, he's now the guy who pushed Pacquaio all the way.

Last night was just a great night for boxing. Two awesome representatives of the sport fighting their asses off.

Most definitely.
