    He went for the knockout. definitely. Bradley said.

    LAS VEGAS -- Manny Pacquiao may not have returned entirely to his dominance of a half-decade ago in beating Timothy Bradley, but the performance easily had enough credibility to “go there” once more.




    He went for the knockout, definitely, Bradley said. Pacquiao was the better man. He still has it. The reason I love him is he never ducks an opponent. He still has the sharp snap.

    He has impeccable timing. Great footwork. Very coordinated on his feet. Tremendous punching power. He stung me a couple of times in the ring, but I held on. - Timmy after being interviewed by Larry Merchant for top rank telecast.


    Say it all right here. He felt Pac's power, but Bradley was durable enough to stay standing till the end. He backed pedal coz he had to, to survive the onslaught.

    He hurt tim bad in round 7, before that marquez KO Pac would have finished Bradley but he was a bit too tentative.

      Bradley had elusive head movement. His head movement and dodging has improved so much from his last fight with Pacquiao, no wonder Bradley said that Pacquiao hurt more in the last fight.

      Regardless, I was proud to see Manny handle this type of fighter and figure him out like that. I don't think I've ever seen Manny in with a guy who moves his head and dodges punches like Bradley did.

            Yes he got Timmy big time with that ten punch combo and then some. He was giving it all.

            If you watched Larry merchants interview with Bradley. Bradley said he was firing looping over hand rights during that exchange to get a KO.

            PAC had to be cautious. Those were punches you don't see and Bradley said that was part of the game-plan to throw those looping overhand bombs during a furious exchange. He thought those punches that you don't see when it lands would be deadly. Thank God Pac was cautious enough not to get hit by those.
