I don't recall seeing this after the fight but this popped up tonight on youtubes recommended list

I do remember watching this fight live however and when JMM caught him I jumped out of my chair fist pumping. Watching the Lampley recap just brought me back to the excitement so now I'm going to have to watch the fight over again.
here's the fight

God damn! That round 5 was comparable to some of those rounds in Ward/Gatti.
Lampley's always crying about something.
Pacquiao/Bradley rematch coming up. No idea what to expect from Pacquiao. Could go the same way as the first, setting up a trilogy, or Bradley on good wheels could out box Manny and win a decision.
Probably bet Pacquiao by any decision +119, and Bradley by any decision +310 and let it ride.
Undercard sucks. I do like Raymundo Beltran -185 over Arash Usmanee. If I were to only bet on one of the fights, this would be it.
What are the odds that Bradley knockouts Pacquiao and that Guerrero K.O.'s Mayweather?
What are the odds then of both Mayweather and Pacquiao committing suicide?
Boxing needs to become more exciting.
How about eliminating all boxing judges and fight until your opponent gives up?
No more bad decisions.

I do think there's a chance that Bradley wins, though. Which would put to rest the talk about the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight. I hope Pacquiao wins, though.
Agreed... Maidana is waaaay too slow to ever hit Mayweather with anything significant. Bradley doesn't hit hard enough to knock people out at this weight class. He doesn't have Marquez's power, but the again getting hit square on the chin by just about any professional is going to put you down... the difference is when someone with more power hits you clean you go to sleep the way Pacquiao did against Marquez.Quote:

That was the best ppv I've seen in a long time. Even the undercards were good. Great main event. Highlight had to be when bradley hit packy ridic flush and packy left his feet (literally levitated six inches off the ground). Punch was sick in slow motion. Though I won't be the least bit surprised if it comes out that bradley got a serious concussion midway through the fight because the whole dynamic of the fight changed (bradley totally gave up on the body, was just firing at the head which packy mostly blocked with his gloves, bradley had some silly looking inexcusable whiffs, and was looking hella glassy eyed for at least five rounds).
Sad to say it, and as good as his performance was tonight, and as quick as Bradley is, I feel Pac has sadly lost a step, and with that some power as well. Two years ago he dominated Bradley, tonight he semi dominated him, 4-5 years ago he absolutely destroys the Bradley of today.
Really hope he bows out soon enough before he ends up like RJJ. Sadly I think the possibility of the match up with Mayweather will linger, and he will stay in the ring too long. There's a big difference between a guy fighting at this age like Mayweather and a guy like Pac. Mayweather has really only ever been in 1 war, 12 years ago... Manny has been in wars since he started boxing. Just the fights alone before his rise to stardom were enough to leave most guys punch drunk the rest of their careers.
Anyway, nice to see vindication tonight and the judges score mostly correct. 116-112 was right on.
.
Highly doubt it was Bradley's trainers idea to come out with that throw for broke gameplan, in fact I remember hearing his corner ask him for scoring rounds a couple of times. Bradley was in there turning every punch over which worked okay for him for a few rounds, I had it 3-2 at the end of 5 for bradley but after that he fell off the table. I'm guessing from throwing way to many power shots and whiffing on a lot of them. Pac went on a streak putting together multiple round wins and basically forcing Bradley to leave the body and go for the head.
He said he pulled his calf in the post fight interviews.Quote:

I did hear him say he had a calf injury and I'm not denying that could be true, Bradley did have a few rounds which he wasn't really all that offensive but more or less *trying* to show off his head movement skills.
Which is usually a sign of desperation. Fight was slowly slipping away from him and he knew it. Let's be honest, this fight should have never even happened in the first place. First fight was complete domination. Not saying Bradley didn't deserve it with his last two victories, and he has definitely improved since their last fight, but at this point Pac should have been fighting someone more deserving.Quote:

What are the odds that Mayweather never fights Pacquiao?
Obviously, Mayweather knows that Marcos Maidana will be nothing more than a punching bag when they fight next month.
