    It was 7-5, but the knockdowns made it wide. 117-111 was the right score, but as with many fights, the scorecard doesn't necessarily tell the whole story. Lots of close rounds, lots of drama. It was a good fight.

    And I felt he didn't go back to the old Tim, for the most part. He was careful, he was smart. He just didn't find the openings he needed to take enough rounds.
    7-5 with 2 knockdowns should be 115-111, which is the same score I had

        I thought this was the best version of Bradley Manny has seen. Bradley had some of his best moments in this fight I felt. Granted he had some of his worst moments by getting dropped, but this fight felt more competitive then the other two fights to me. Granted...again...the first two fights didn't feel THAT competitive to me & neither did this one, but I felt the possibility of Bradley winning or Manny losing was greater than the previous two fights even with my progressively unfavorable scorecard.

        As far as Atlas & Bradley one of the things I've been trying to consider since last night is was there anyone who could've been put into Bradley's corner that changes the outcome of this fight? And barring Freddie being in Tim's corner & Manny's wife being in his corner after finding a blonde with Manny the night before I can't come up with anyone who helps Bradley navigate the W. That being the case I can't put THAT much fault on Atlas.

          A person can have an emotional relationship with their fighter but not be in a position to keep working the corner. Case-in-point: Roger Mayweather.
