Comments Thread For: Roach Has Mixed Emotions Over Pacquiao's Victory

[FeFist]

I didn't see the power in Mannys punches. To me he looked like he was flinging a lot of arm punches at Bradley. I didn't see him sitting down on them at all. Perhaps he was worried about running into a counter shot. I'm anxious to re watch the fight and get a better critique of the fight.

I think it's his legs. He used to be like a rubber ball, but now one his feet are set it takes him a while longer to spring off.

I have a feeling roach is finally going to have that talk with Manny about retiring since they had a mutual agreement. I'm glad Manny won but it was really sad to see how he performed.

I hear what Freddie is saying but let's face it Timothy Bradley is a tough foe he wasn't undefeated in 30 fights for nothing he can box,brawl and move very well and great head movement he's tough to fight and land punches on any elite welter weight will have problems with Bradley you're guaranteed to be in for a long night he comes to fight and has a hell of a chin Bradley impressed me Saturday night he was a lot stronger than I expected but he did some ****** things as well like telling manny to hit him with his hands down that was just dumb but he'll be back no doubt.

I mean there's no question that Manny is a different fighter now -- he can still fight at a winning level but the days of the tsunami Manny are fully in the rear view mirror...but also in his defense, Tim Bradley is one of the toughest fighters to look good against on this planet. I mean even the guy (Ruslan) that nearly decapitated Tim on multiple occasions in the ring, still got outworked by miles in that fight.

I'm not saying that Manny isn't showing real decline, because he is, but there's probably not a fighter on the planet who can look "good" against him. Tim is just so ridiculously scrappy.

Yup.

"IF"... meaning he's NOT ko'ing Pac let alone hurting him.. lol Nice try little guy. Read the article and the context of the comment next time.

Btw, my bet had been on Pac by decision from day one. (both times)

[Deeznuts]

Pac has lost a step or two but that's the natural process of an offensive fighter. He only has a couple fights left. 3 at the most

Time for floyd to take the vada test.

"Let the commission do their jobs"....

O yeah that was from 2009-2013. My apologies. Hey at least Pac finally agreed to random blood testing, right? Ironically, he doesn't look the same.

He fights reckless and he's done...he fights an intelligent fight and takes his opponents game plan away and it's he's done....this guy can't f'ing win in the public forum. He just beat the #2 guy at 147...wtf more does the guy need to do? Solve the theory of life? The hate Pacquaio and Floyd get is so unnatural..I actually wish these guys were like 6 divisions apart so we wouldn't have all this nonsense biased bullshhh about them for now 5 years of back and forth ishhh talking. I enjoy both but they can't retire soon enough.....perhaps then we can be done with all the dumb shh.

Bruh I don't post many comments... I must say, you're probably the best person on here when making a comment. You're 100% correct about Manny. Dude can't do anything right in the public forum. 99% of these bloggers act like they never heard of aging. Father of time is undefeated. Athletes decline when their older. Keep posting your mature comments.

It's AMAZING how Floyd and Sr have you guys thinking this man was juicing. Well I'm sure you read back in 2012 there was a article that came out stating Floyd Jr failed THREE drug test. Golden Boy and USADA swept it under the rug. There's a saying that says "Past your prime" and aging. The man has nearly or over sixty fights and he's 35 years old. There's a few guys by name Ali, Foreman, Hearns, Hagler, SRL and Tyson to name a few... Who all decline. Oh yeah, there's a great name Roy Jones Jr.

I still cannot understand where all of the hate comes from for Pac. But yeah, he fought a little reckless, but he never let Bradley back in the fight. Called it 5th round when Bradley hurt his leg. He is so obvious when he is bothered. So athletic, but no punch to turn the tide
