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

[Hype job]

PAC did better than I thought in the first half, that *****ty stream skewed my perceptions. This was similar to the first PAC Bradley fight. He looked good here, better than the second fight for sure.

The jab counts are absolute BS. Manny hardly threw jabs while Bradley was pumping it in Manny's face the whole fight through.

It wouldn't surprise me to hear that they screwed up the sides on this paper.



And lost twice against him.

Vs. TBE where he holds a very lucrative multi-million dollar win over Pac.

Sweet Science.

My point was just that Manny is generally more hesitant to throw punches nowadays. He threw the same number of punches against a guy who went on to lose the fight as he did against Floyd. I think Manny would have thrown more punches against Floyd at an earlier time, though I don't necessarily believe he would have won at any point.

Which is why a rematch with Floyd is pointless. I saw no improvement or change in Manny Pacquiao whatsoever against an opponent the majority of boxing fans felt would have no chance at beating him.

I didn't see Manny try that much harder against Bradley than he did against Algieri. If anything, Bradley lost focus after the first knockdown - which I still felt was BS - and got dejected. We got no firemen speech, so Bradley wasn't fired back up as expected.

I saw Bradley try for a counter overhand on at least 15 occasions but he was too slow to snap it out. Where Floyd would have handily landed it because Manny was wide open.

Fighting TBE again would result in the same outcome and the same fight flow. There's NO point and I sincerely hope Floyd doesn't offer that. Stay retired.

No, no they did not. They had it wrong almost all across the board and they were clearly biased towards Manny. It was bad. Especially Poncher. I don't know if she was on the HBO commentary team - I assume so - but that's the team I was hearing and they were awful. They credited nearly no good points from Bradley's performance despite this being the best we've seen him.

Then, you see Manny's face, he's bruised from Bradley's shots, Bradley's face is untouched despite being knocked down twice. It's Algieri all over again.

I was watching HBO and they credited Bradley's good shots frequently. They said Tim looked fab and might beat anyone tonight, just not Manny.

Ok, well then it was the Top Rank commentators apparently. All I know is Poncher was getting on my nerves. They should never let her commentate again.

It sounds like you made up your mind before even watching tonight. You either weren't paying attention or refuse to. And, you're factually incorrect in the statement that people weren't giving Bradley "no chance". You have no credibility when you lie like that.

this was his best one yet out of the other 2. he really stole and took this one away from bradley. there was no controversy what so ever. clear straight win for manny.
