Bradley: Should Have Boxed, Tried To KO Pacquiao ...

[Click Here To Read More]

Deep thinking, indeed... During the fight, even myself (who I'm far from being a "specialist") I was asking why Bradley doesn't try to outbox Pac?!?... Bradley trying to KO Pacquiao? With what? He didn't even used his famous buttheads...

The fact that people thought Pac clearly won the first fight means you are withered a brainwashed sheep or you just don't know how to score boxing. Bradley WAS winning rounds in their rematch until he started throwing haymakers then gassed out. Pac wasn't landing clean shots in the first fight and was too inactive for the majority of the rounds. Pac is the better fighter when he throws but he didn't do it enough. 15 seconds a round of fighting will lose you fights. Floyd did the same thing and almost lost against Maidana, and almost lost. Stop listening to the bias commentary and stop believing the Compubox stats.

There's always an excuse for Bradley. He's not that good of a boxer, and certainly not as good a boxer as Pacquiao. Bradley's best asset is the fact he can mix it up in all ways and lay it on the line. He gets hurt in a lot of his fights but is able to fight through it via heart, not so much amazing skill.

LOL nope sorry bradley you tried both and still lost both times to Pacquiao.stop crying tim Pacquiao is the GOAT deal with it.

Former two division world champion Timothy Bradley (31-1, 12KOs) says he went with the wrong game plan when he went up against Manny Pacquiao in their rematch earlier this year. In 2012, Bradley won a controversial twelve round split decision. Pacquiao dominated the rematch for a clear twelve round unanimous decision win.

Bradley feels he would have done a lot better if he would have stayed calm and tried to outbox Pacquiao round by round. He was too paranoid of being robbed on the cards, because of the controversy of the first fight, and saw the knockout as the surest way to victory.

Bradley's plan according to his trainer on 24/7 was to box pac on the second fight and if they weren't winnining the rounds they would go for a KO. This was a good plan but neither worked. He was trying to outbox pac in their first fight and that didn't work either. Maybe he was hopping for another gift decision.

i dont understand how some people on here and bradley included is saying he would have never won by out boxing manny. how so??? if he clearly out boxed manny every round how could get get robbed on the score card???

If I'm not mistaken, he was winning 3 rounds out of the first 5 from the two judges and 2 rounds from the other. He boxed the first 5 rounds and then after that it's all wide swings that even a blind man can see from a mile away.

he was swinging for the fences from the start of the first round.

bradley boxed and was winning the first half of the fight 5 rounds to 1,and sent one shot that almost broke pacquiaos neck.the the second half of the fight. he changed and fought like a amateur faking to go for a knock out. i saw right through the payoff to lose.
