Comments Thread For: Crawford: Bradley Beat Pacquiao In First Fight, Will Win Third

[mathed]

I agree with Crawford on the point that Bradley hardly ever gets any credit. I think Pac might be in trouble this time around.

NEW YORK – Terence Crawford realizes he is in the minority, but he is certain Timothy Bradley will beat Manny Pacquiao in their third fight.

"He’s going to win," Crawford said before a press conference Tuesday to officially announce his Feb. 27 fight against Hank Lundy in The Theater at Madison Square Garden (HBO).

It was closer than most seem to think, but hard to give that fight to Bradley.

You can't score a fight properly when you're only watching one guy.

"Didnt score fight"

"Knows he won"

I agree with Bud.

Pacquiao is faded and Bradley is only getting better. Plus you throw Bob Arum into the situation and his "influence" on the judges, of course the guy that he wants to win will win.

i don't like this revisionist history going on.


even teddy atlas was going off on judges after pac was robbed.

fastforward to 2016 he said it was a draw.

I couldn't find 4 rounds to give Bradley in the first fight to be honest.

I mean, how do you land almost 100 less punches, softer, at a lower percentage and win a decision?

"I thought Bradley gave Pacquiao a boxing lesson."

i just can't remember bradley hurt pac in any round in their first fight...

[PunchyPotorff]

"Didnt score fight"

"Knows he won"

Yep. Why? "Because he's going to win".

[BoxingIsGreat]

First fight wasn't close at all. I could only find 2 rounds for Bradley. I watched the second fight but didn't pay any attention. One more? No, thanks.

Reasons Crawford's remarks are negligible:

1) Crawford and Bradley are friends (Crawford said it himself)

2) They are both Americans.

3) They are both African Americans.

Too many coincidences here. Both fights, the first and the second, were blowouts in favor of Manny, clearly. I am sure that that infamous "loss" in the 1st fight, must have been chosen as the robbery of the year on several boxing web sites and magazines.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But those who say that Bradley beat Manny, or even just state that any of the two fights was "competitive" is simply completely biased and denying the truth.
