Crawford if you think Bradley won the first fight with Manny,then you need to retire already because them you have taken to many blows to the head. Crawford already with brain damage.......sad.

I'm pretty sure they're really good friends. He's going to have his back regardless. I think there was an interview I had seen where I think Crawford saysBradley really took care of him and has his back some time ago.

Before people start the hating. He's just looking out for his boy. Of course he's going to think Bradley won. There's an enormous bias there's no harm in that.Last edited by NearHypnos; 01-14-2016, 04:53 PM.Comment

When watching the fight live, I thought Manny won. When watching it the week later, I could see how 2 of the judges went with Bradley. Every time I watch it now, I can see it being a draw. But the problem is, its extremely hard judging a fight as a fan at home when the commentators only comment on what only one of the fighters are doing. And compu box is very deceiving. As far as who landed the more effective punches, how is that even determined??? If a fighter isn't dropped, rocked, or dazed by a punch, then how do we determine how effective it was? Because Lampley and Kellerman said it was effective??? No matter the outcome of that fight, what I saw was Manny trying to be Manny but was not looking good doing it. I am used to seeing Manny do some devastating things in the ring, but that night he looked ordinary. In their 2nd fight, he looked ordinary. And out of the 2 fights, it was Manny who got hurt the worse with that overhand right that lifted him off his feet in the 2nd fight. I'm sure most missed it, but Bradley hurt him to the body several times and that is one of the reasons he started throwing bombs the rest of the fight. He realized he could hurt Manny.
Manny's fights with Bradley were very similar to the fight with Leonard vs Hagler. By no means am I comparing them with the latter. But Leonard did not out fight Hagler, but he out performed him on the big stage. Manny by no means out fought Bradley, but his punches and footwork were flashier and caught the eyes of the fans and the media. He out performed a blue collar style fighter in Bradley on the big stage. That's why Bradley made it known before the 2nd fight that he would have to knock Manny out to win. It will be the same in this 3rd fight. Manny never looks great against Bradley like he has so many times against other opponents. But he is the fan favorite, he is the flashier guy, and it will take for Tim to knock him out to get a win that's respected by fans and media. Somewhere along the line in the last few years of this great sport, people stop scoring jabs, body shots, and work on the inside. As a matter of fact, when Manny was holding Tim's arm and Tim kept hitting him with his free hand, the crowd started booing him. That just shows how the perception of the sport has changed.Comment

If Manny and Bradley were 2 unfamiliar up and coming fighters and performed the same way in that 1st fight, no one would of had a problem with the decision.Comment
