bradley injury in both pacquiao fights

[sugarsmosley]

this was the story after both pacquiao fights to discredit pacman beating a top p4p fighter.

however, since the draw to chaves, thats more than enough for hardcore pacquiao haters to just call bradley a bum now and say that manny beat a bum

The injuries were legit.


Not going to be a popular opinion but think he would have won the second fight if he didn't blow out his calf, he won the first half of that fight then blew out his calf and became stationary and decided to swing for the fences hoping for the KO. Probably wouldn't have gotten the decision though even if he didn't injure himself.

I also believe that the Injuries were legit and as mentioned by other posters the Injuries had more to do with Pacquiao pressing the attack and constant movement by Bradley.

Bradley lost both fights, he tried out boxing Pacquiao the first time and failed although he got the decision and only God knows how. His game plan for the second fight was to attack and throw power punches which gave him some minor success In the first half of the fight. This game plan was most likely based on the fact that Bradley felt that Pacquiao would be hesitant to engage after being knocked out by Marquez. Unfortunately for Bradley that wasn't the case. When Bradley got tired, Pacquiao turned It up.

Which Is total nonsense. Bradley Is a fighter and gives anyone he steps Into the ring with a good fight.

he was on occasion, throwing weak punches and trying to get out of the way at the same time because of fear of counters, would hesitate mid punch, and on occassion, because he'd put himself out there half-assed or just trying to move too much he really got pushed around and put off balance by bradley, which is something that i doubt would happen with a prime pacquiao

remember when pacquiao used to be like this


constant pressure, absolute nightmare to fight

his confidence has definitely taken a hit, although even in the bradley fight, same with rios, early on when he took some shots he looks to get a little shaky and uneasy but soldiered through and become more confident in the latter half of the fight

even got to see a full fledged pacquiao cross in the later round vs bradley, suprising how well tim took it, or maybe he just played it off real well

Looked like a straight to me

cross = straight

[Left Hook Tua]

Looked like a straight to me

cross/jab = straight

overhand/hook = loop
