The Official: "Pac-Man" Pacquiao vs "Desert Storm" Bradley 3 Fight Discussion Thread

[Combat Talk Radio]

round 1 they both did nothing but i gave it to manny base on activity, he threw more and landed more.

You're the only person to give Manny that round. He was tentative. There was no activity from him and what was there, he was missing.

round 5 pac was eating counters all round? i guess u miss the ending where bradley almost hit the floor? @15:03 start of the 5th round. u need to rewatch, bradley got countered more trying to counter manny. when bradley would get manny to the ropes he throws some fluffy flurries that does nothing. dont be fooled by that.

Bradley GOT Manny to the ropes. That's called controlling and effective aggression. That wouldn't have happened if Manny was in control; he doesn't let you back him up if he's in control.

And "Almost" is nothing. Manny ate more square counters than Bradley did.

round 1 - both did nothing major but pac was the one chasing bradley so base off that alone i gave it to manny. u can argue that its a draw it doesnt matter to me.

round 5 - even after re-watching it u cant possibly say thats a bradley round. bradley waited and try to counter manny but got countered instead. the little times he did manage to get pac to the ropes he couldnt do nothing. look at the flurries he threw, wide slapping punches that was mostly blocked by manny's arms/gloves.

Pacquiao won it, and this time a lot better than last time. Last time was real close.

#PacBradley is the #1 trend on twitter. Boxing is dead!!!

Anyway, we can agree to disagree.

We both agree Bradley lost, it's the scale and scope of the loss that's up for grabs. And what you're missing is, there's really only two-three rounds in question across the board.

You know what we call those? Swing rounds.
You know what we call a fight with a lot swing rounds? Close.

That's all I'm saying. It was not some MayPac-ish domination.

And a lot of rounds during the Mayweather-Pac were swing rounds as well...(remarked by Kellerman and he was riding Maweather's balls all night with Lampley).you can contend Mayweather's masterful boxing but he hardly threw while Pacquiao initiated each fight sequence....that fight was a point battle for Mayweather against Pacquiao.

Pacquaio-Bradly3 was a definitive-significant-blows-type of a match...it was close at some points but overall I think the score cards were fair.

Floyd is absolutely high if he thinks this fight was a draw. Manny clearly won, without much of a problem.

What a classy response by Dunn

For once I agree with Dunn. Classy indeed.

Pac initiated...and failed to complete said sequences. That's called controlling pace.

I don't agree with Floyd that it was a 10-2 blowout. I gave Manny 4 clear rounds. Beyond that, as Stephen A. Smith said, "Floyd was there and then he was gone."

Were there swing rounds? Sure.

But mathematically speaking, not enough swing rounds where Manny could have won that fight. You can't win a fight missing 81% of punches and you sure can't win a fight throwing the same combo over and over again.

Manny had one job: Bring the action, like Maidana did. He failed.

Pacquaio-Bradly3 was a definitive-significant-blows-type of a match...it was close at some points but overall I think the score cards were fair.

The only beef I have with the official scorecards is giving Manny Round 4 and 5. Outside of those two, the scores are fair. But that's my point. We're talking a two round delta out of 12. People swearing Bradley won 2 rounds is what pisses me off. He was WAY better than that last night; and if he were across from almost anyone else on the Top 10 welter lists, he'd beat them.

In fact, his performance was so good, I want to see Bradley/Porter. I know I won't, but that's the fight I want to see now.

[PAC-BOY]

3/4 of that list hardly ever post anymore. May 2 was a blessing.

Floyds last fight...Berto :AOR:

Mannys last fight...A world champion...Bradley.

Bless that you dlck sucking phaggot! :ANWOD:
