After Pac-Bradley 2, I Don't think Bradley will ever be the same again

[DARKSEID]

I rewatched their rematch and I think Pacquiao completely destroyed Bradley's confidence in himself. Bradley had already given up the fight before the 12th round and there were just a few rounds there where Pacquiao straight embarrassed Bradley.

In the first half of the fight, it was all Bradley. He was outboxing and beating Pac, but he was also disrespecting him with all the showboating and all the ****-talking he did. In the second half of the fight, Pac only responded the same way he always does.. by fighting harder.

Pacquiao kept turning it up but Bradley couldn't handle it. At some point in the fight Bradley realized he couldn't keep up with Pacquiao at all and accepted he couldn't win.

I don't think he'll ever be the same.

No, Bradley should be ok, he will beat just about anyone not named Pac.
But he did better in the second fight than the first. The first fight with Pac he lost real bad.

I was looking at Bradley's eyes.

He's never given up like that before. In every fight, no matter what he's faced, his response is only to fight harder. In this fight he gave up before it was over. I never seen him like that before. I've never seen anyone beat the fight out of him.

He ****** before, during and after that fight.

One of the most overrated fighters of the last decade.

Come on man Bradley was the desert storm. Do you think he got to where he was and was undefeated the entire time by accident?

he was beating pac in the first half of the fight. Wether or not it was pac's strategy to take him into deep waters I don't know.

the first half was even

1st rd, lost 2 and 3, think i gave him 4 and 5, lost 6, 7 and so on, one late rd he won

the issue for bradley was it took him being at full throttle just to barely sc**** rd's off a conservative pacquiao, naturally bradley tired from his pace and pacquiao maintained his the entire fight

Actually....pretty much yes. Probably the most lucky fighter of the last 25 years!

Some ho-hum, unimpressive performances at 140 against B/C level fighters. Ducks Khan and somehow gets a Pacquiao fight despite never being first choice. Somehow gets the decision even though he clearly lost. Basically gets KTFO by Provodnikov but somehow gets a decision. Somehow manages to convince people that a Pacquiao rematch is worthwhile.

I'm surprised he didn't land one of those big swings and KTFO Pacquiao. It would have followed his pattern of sheer luck.

Kid should just retire. His luck may have run out.

It was shocking to see Bradley's performance decline in the rematch the way it did. Even in the first fight Bradley fought harder through the entire fight than Pacquiao. Pacquiao is apparently that one guy whose energy exceeds what Bradley brings to the table. Like you said, he can't keep up.

I think he'll be fine, though. I'd expect him to beat the large majority of welterweights.

maybe you should watch the first pacquiao bradley fight, in that fight at a point he also looks heavily discouraged(around rd 5 or 6) until eventually sucking it up and finishing strong on a tired pacquiao

It was all the **** he talked. He told everybody that Pac didn't have it anymore, and that only warriors belong in the ring. He went to war with Pac with everything he had with the belief that his best would beat Pacquiao's best and it just wasn't true.

Pacquiao remains dangerous from round 1 to round 12. He can hurt you, he can go to war, he can knock you out from round 1 to round 12. He hurt Morales badly in the 12th round when they went at it in the first fight- a fight he lost.

He has so many offensive abilities and he knows how to create openings. Even if he has to wait to do it. He's a monster in the ring.

If you're fighting Pac you always have to be on your guard you always have to be sharp 100% of the fight and he will catch you... even if you do everything right.
