Manny Pacquiao was robbed in their first fight. (9-3).
and Tim proved why he's a pound for pound fighter after he defeated Provo/Marquez last year.

Manny Pacquiao to fight Timothy Bradley on April 12th in rematch
By Chris Williams: It’s reported that Top Rank will be matching Manny Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38 KO’s) against WBO welterweight champion Tim Bradley (31-0, 12 KO’s) in a rematch on April 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Bradley-Pacquiao rematch will be announced next week, and a press tour will start on February 4th, starting in Los Angeles followed by New York on February 5th, according to Tempo.
Pacquiao’s adviser Michael Koncz has the completed contract information for Pacquiao and Bradley. Top Rank has got to hope that the Pacquiao-Bradley II fight will bring in better PPV numbers than Pacquiao’s last fight against Top Rank stable fighter Brandon Rios last November, which brought in just 475,000.
I have a feeling that we’ll likely see similar numbers because few people are interested in seeing Pacquiao fighting Bradley over and over again like he did with Juan Manuel Marquez. It wouldn’t be bad if it were on regular HBO, but to ask fans to pay to watch Pacquiao fight Bradley again is likely not going to work.
There really never was any choice in who Pacquiao’s next opponent would be; let’s be honest. With Pacquiao pretty much stuck fighting Bob Arum’s Top Rank stable fighters, it was either fight Bradley again or face WBO light welterweight champion Ruslan Provodnikov, who is under contract with Top Rank for one fight after getting a title shot against Bradley last year almost beating him. Given how little known and dangerous Provodnikov is, Arum went with the safer choice of putting Pacquiao in with Bradley.
Pacquiao-Bradley II isn’t a great fight other than for fans who want to see if Pacquiao can avenge his loss to Bradley from June 2012. It wasn’t really a loss, because Pacquiao beat Bradley and him on the run for 12 boring rounds, but the three judges working the fight gave Bradley the victory by a 12 round split decision. It was very controversial with next to nobody agreeing with it, and because of that we’re now seeing Pacquiao-Bradley II. But in all honesty, we’d still likely be seeing a rematch between them anyway, because Arum doesn’t have a lot of options for opponents for Pacquiao in his Top Rank stable.
Once he badly beats one of Arum’s stable fighters like he did against former lightweight Brandon Rios last November, it becomes pretty much impossible for Arum to match Pacquiao back up with them. But if the fight is anywhere close or controversial, then Arum can keep matching Pacquiao up with this fighter. And you can bet that if the Pacquiao-Bradley II fight is close or controversial, we’ll be seeing a third fight between them, even if it doesn’t bring in good pay-per-view numbers.
There’s not much else in Arum’s stable for Pacquiao to fight other than re-tread opponents and the smaller fighters like lightweight Terence Crawford and super featherweight Mikey Garcia. If Pacquiao re-signs with Top Rank at the end of 2014, then it’s likely we’ll see Pacquiao face the likes of Mikey and Crawford in the near future, if only because there just isn’t any other guys for him to be matched up against in Arum’s stable.
Bradley beat Juan Manuel Marquez by a 12 round split decision last October in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was a very boring fight to watch unless you liked watching Bradley run around the ring for 12 rounds, playing hit and run. The style worked against the smaller and much older 40-year-old Marquez. However, Bradley struggled in a huge way to beat Provodnikov last year in March, and barely won the fight after being staggered three times and knocked down. Bradley tried to actually fight Provodnikov in a toe-to-toe fashion, and what we discovered was that Bradley didn’t have the power or the chin to fight in that manner. And in the Marquez fight, Bradley went back to his normal running style of being cautious and it very boring to watch, but par for the course for his fights.
Arum backed Pacquiao away from quality competition in his last fight by matching him against pumped up lightweight Brandon Rios, and Pacquiao was finally able to end his 2-fight losing streak. It’s sad that Arum had to match him against Rios to get Pacquiao to stop losing, but it’s also a sign that Arum might have been worried about Pacquiao getting knocked out again. He was stopped in the 6th round by Marquez in December 2012.

First fight was lame and Pac made Bradley look like an amateur. Unless CJ Ross is planning on making a WWF Stone Cold like surprise entrance, look for more of the same with the right call this time. Would've rather seen him take on Provodnikov. That match could've been fireworks.

Tim outboxed Manny in their first fight.
Those compubox numbers were hilarious. Manny supposedly landed more shots than he did against Cotto, Margarito, etc, yet his face was picture perfect clean without any bumps or scratches lol...
I don't know how anyone wants to call that a robbery. At best, and I mean very best, Manny beat him 7-5. It's not like the bogus wins Manny got over Marquez several times.

You're more delusional than Bradley with his 8-4 nonsense. :lol
Dude landed nothing of note in that fight, while being out landed in 10 out of 12 rounds (253-159 overall, 190-108 in 'power' shots). And Tim got hit so hard in the early rounds he stumbled over himself trying to stay on his feet and ended up breaking his leg/twisting his ankle... But he'll tell you it was because he didn't wear socks :oldlol: The only thing you could say is that Pac stupidly took his foot off the pedal in the late rounds thinking, like everyone (Tim's corner included no matter what bullshit they spew now), that he had the fight won already (which he did).
The Provodnikov fight had very brutal and potentially life-altering results for Tim. He was literally pissing blood, suffered a concussion and suffered from slurred speech and memory loss. Took months of therapy by neurologists for him to heal and get back to normal. No way he looks to exchange after a life and death fight like that, he's a tough dude but he's not looking to be like Ali at 35.
Look for him to be on his bike from the opening round. Going to be a snooze fest. :sleeping

Keep using those compubox numbers. :oldlol:
It was disgusting watching HBO. All I heard was "another one for Manny"... I didn't realize they started counting shots to the gloves and shoulder now. :oldlol:
Honestly, after the 4th or 5th round, they stopped talking about the fight for a majority of the time, and simply had a 30 minute piece on how great Manny is. Meanwhile, Bradley is hitting him flush in the body and the face. :oldlol:
Yeah, sure, a fighter has never hurt themselves moving in the ring. Now we're going to credit Manny for Bradley twisting his ankle too. You're delusional.
Yeah, Manny took his foot off the pedal, but conveniently, you have some excuse as to why Bradley apparently failed at everything. Maybe all those bodyshots that HBO forgot to comment on, and pretended never happened got to Manny?

Who said he has to fight that way to win? He'll win the way he always has outside of the Prov fight; with great strategy and movement. Do yourself a favor and go watch rounds 8-12 of the 1st fight. Bradley made Pac look stupid at times with his movement.

Marquez has more KO's than Bradley has total fights. Marquez had his moments in the first 3 fights that connected on pac's chin to at least back him up and/or buckle him after either being countered or off straight rights. Bradley didn't have glimpses of that in the first fight.

maaaan cant wait for this fight! is this not the closest we get to Pac-May, style wise? Bradley is an undeafeated, great boxer, coming into his prime. The guy is on a roll. On the other side, you have the great Manny Pacquiao who seems to be on the downside of his career but still very good.
Only way I see Bradley winning is UD12. I don't see him stopping Pacman.

The worst part is that the Bobfather admits he doesn't give a shit about the undercards. Kind of a slap in the face of people who pay $70+ for these bullshit cards that wouldn't even make the ESPN Friday Night Fights roster. You'd think with Pacquiao as headliner he would put Donaire as the lead in fight. Makes logical sense.
That's the one area where Golden Boy outclasses TR. They go out of their way to make solid-great undercards for their PPVs.

All said, it was a good fight. I can't really comment on the cards because I didn't score the fight and I was watching via sh!tty stream, but most of the rounds looked competitive (as I thought they were the first time).
I think Bradley may have either hurt his hand or became arm weary in the second half of the fight. He was throwing much more meaningful, accurate shots in rounds 1-7.
I wouldn't be completely against a third fight, tbh. These guys make for interesting stylistic matchups. Seems to me Bradley landing that winging right and wobbling Pac in the first half of the fight may have been a bad thing for him, because he was going for the homerun from that point forward.

Would love to see Pac-Provo. That could be a savage fight. Marquez wanted no part of the Siberian Rocky. Provo was open to the idea of taking on his former sparring partner and working with someone else in his corner when the idea was floated that he would fight Manny instead of Bradley.

calf injury makes sense
he seemed pretty immobile after a point
whichever round (i think the 6) where at the end of the round he was laying on the ropes and goading pacquiao to come in... immediately after when the round ended, he told his corner that he was hurting, and then diaz asked him if he wants to go home
It makes sense. It was pretty clear that something happened in the middle part of the fight, because Bradley was actually doing really well in the first seven rounds and he basically abandoned the gameplan in rounds 8-12, even during lulls when Pac wasn't throwing.
That said, this is the second time they've fought and the second time Tim has suffered an injury to his legs in the middle rounds. It could be that there is something about Pac's movement that throws Tim off-balance enough to stress his legs in a way that makes him prone to injury.

Easy night's work for Manny. I scored it 9-3 in his favor.
Bradley is a gutsy dude, slick, solid boxer who's not afraid to bang but he doesn't seem to have what it takes to reach that elite tier and the biggest factor is his lack of fight I.Q. The guy brawls when he really needs to box, boxes when he's in desperate need of a finish, and seems to generally be unaware of how the fight is going.
Anyway, good job by Pac, he was the rightful victor in the 1st fight as well. I don't wanna see him fight JMM or Bradley anymore. Considering that he and Floyd just won't fight...perhaps Khan for Manny's next opponent?

It would literally be Mayweather/JMM all over again. Pac wouldn't be able to land on him.
That's the way I've always seen it. Pac is tailor made for Mayweather. Pac would have to knock him out in the first three rounds, because it usually takes Floyd about 3 1/2 rounds to calmly measure the distance and, at that point, the fight is essentially over. I don't think Pac could KO him early, though, because Floyd will be fighting cautiously at the start and Pac's power at 147 has diminished considerably.
He can still hurt his opponent over the course of the fight with those power shots, but doesn't seem to possess that one-punch KO power anymore... and considering Floyd seems to have at least a very solid chin (possibly great chin), I just don't see it.
It'd be one-sided and everyone would complain afterward.

I always give boxers a bit of leeway in the post-fight interviews, unless they're way over-the-top like Broner, who is a certifiable asswipe.
But, to punch a guy in the face and get punched in the face for 12 rounds and then immediately afterwards have a camera shoved in your face? I never really liked that aspect of the fight game.

Mayweather would most likely beat Pac, but don't think i'd be a stroll for Mayweather.
1. Mayweather is vastly superior to the PBF model who fought Castillo. That was a decade ago. And, while Castillo ended the fight strong, Floyd arguably won the first six rounds... certainly five of the first six. It was a good fight, but a bit overrated these days. Then, Mayweather immediately rematched him and won the fight, although it was pretty close too. Again, different Floyd and Castillo presented matchup problems that Pac doesn't.
2. Castillo and Pac are nothing alike. Castillo was a guy who constantly pushed forward, tried to stay out of the middle of the ring, and threw a lot of sharp body punches along the ropes. That was his model against Floyd. Pac actually loves to fight in the center of the ring (first strike against Floyd), tends to get wild and wing punches (strike 2) and has shown the propensity to get frustrated against good counter-punchers (strike 3).
I think you'd be massively disappointed. Cotto is the closest thing to Castillo that Mayweather can fight, not Pacquiao.

You don't even have to look back to Castillo. Look at Ortiz/Cotto. In both fights he was in trouble. Maidana is going to give him a scare too.
Pacquiao being a cake wake for Mayweather is just stupid. The last time Pacquiao was dominated in a fight was in 2005 against Morales, and even that was a back and forth war.
Ortiz, seriously. He was toying with him.

1. Mayweather is vastly superior to the PBF model who fought Castillo. That was a decade ago. And, while Castillo ended the fight strong, Floyd arguably won the first six rounds... certainly five of the first six. It was a good fight, but a bit overrated these days. Then, Mayweather immediately rematched him and won the fight, although it was pretty close too. Again, different Floyd and Castillo presented matchup problems that Pac doesn't.
2. Castillo and Pac are nothing alike. Castillo was a guy who constantly pushed forward, tried to stay out of the middle of the ring, and threw a lot of sharp body punches along the ropes. That was his model against Floyd. Pac actually loves to fight in the center of the ring (first strike against Floyd), tends to get wild and wing punches (strike 2) and has shown the propensity to get frustrated against good counter-punchers (strike 3).
I think you'd be massively disappointed. Cotto is the closest thing to Castillo that Mayweather can fight, not Pacquiao.

I still think Mayweather would beat Pac, but people saying that Mayweather would win 12-0 is hilarious.

Is that what you call trouble? Let's also remember that unlike hose two fights Mayweather is going to be the bigger and stronger fighter.
Yeah and Manny will be just as fast as he is. The last time Floyd fought someone just as fast as he is was Judah right? Just imagine if Judah wasn't a frontrunner.

Maybe not 12-0, but at least 11-1, lol. Kidding.
Pac would win 4 rounds at the most. Some early rounds when Mayweather usuay does his feeling out of the opponent, and a round where he takes a rest.

:wtf:
You are the first person I've ever heard say that Ortiz had Mayweather in trouble. Unless you're referring to the success Ortiz had landing headbutts, I have no clue what you could be referring to. Mayweather flustered Ortiz until he found his way out of the fight. It was never particularly interesting.
Cotto gave Floyd some stylistic problems, but never had him "in trouble"... never hurt him one time. Floyd just didn't completely own him the way he does practically everyone else.
The two best counter-punchers and pure boxers Pacquiao has ever faced are JMM and Morales. We know the history... and Floyd is far superior to either of those guys... and far bigger.
It'd be easy work. But, hey... believe what you will. People love the big punchers, even if they're not knocking people out anymore.

Pacman wants it. He always want to please the fans. He's been knocked out cold. Ain't no shame in losing to Mayweather if he does

The reason why Mayweather has been ducking Pac is because Mayweather is all about the money.
He would do porn if he got $30 million for a gay gang bang.
He chooses his opponents very carefully, and they accept because they also get the biggest pay day of their career.
Mayweather is was scared for the past three years because he knows that Pac had a actual chance of beating him.

Plow King- "Bradley won 10-2 again, here's the slow mo youtube vid to prove it"
Props to Bradley for making an entertaining fight. Expected him to fight on his back foot all night, especially after the Provo fight. But once again Pac showed that Tim is not in his league.
Would love to see Pac-Provo. That could be a savage fight. Marquez wanted no part of the Siberian Rocky. Provo was open to the idea of taking on his former sparring partner and working with someone else in his corner when the idea was floated that he would fight Manny instead of Bradley.
Ruslan is fighting in the Bradley Center this summer. Might try to get tickets, he always puts on a show and is a killer in the ring.
Doesn't post shit the whole fight, watching Manny get outboxed in the first 6 rounds, then comes in here, talks big, and acts as if he has something to do with the victory. :oldlol:
Timmy was getting the better of him again in the first half of the fight. Lucky for Pacman, he suffered an injury again and he was able to actually capitalize on it this time. Whole fight changed after round 6 when he actually injured himself.

The first few rounds were back-and-forth, but Pac figured some things out in the middle rounds and completely outclassed Bradley for four or five rounds straight. Bradley looked really desperate for half the fight.
I maintain Pac won the first fight too, clearly, but the matchup is exciting enough to suggest a third fight.

I agree, but no to 3rd fight. I don't think there will be a 3rd fight because Pac is the obvious winner on both fights. First fight was a robbery, but it's close unlike what most people think, 2nd fight was decisive.
Also, There are reports floating around and in boxing forums states that Bradley suffered a leg injury midway through the fight. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2027438-timothy-bradley-injury-updates-on-boxers-leg-and-return. Could be the reason why he stops being the aggressor. Another thing, the flurry that Pac landed in round 7 changed the course of the fight in his favor.

I don't know what Bradley did after the middle of the fight. He was IMO controlling the fight. He was boxing and throwing body shots. After round 6 I believe, the just started throwing wild hey makers.
I had it 7-5 Pac as well, I need to look at round 8 again later, I was distracted from cousins and nephews running around the crib.Quite of few toss up rounds though.

if anything pac could have caused that injury, making bradley turn and move that much. i was surprised he said he was injured after the first round though, i thought he may have had it in the middle rounds as he was moving quite well in the first half

Tim lost the fight when he started clowning around. Not sure why he started doing that. Guess he really wanted to drop Manny, probably didn't think a decision win was good enough. Gotta give him credit for not making any excuses and taking the loss like a man (even attributed his calf injury to pacman punching style).

tim was a fool this match.
he had a good start i had 3-2 after 5 but then the inner tough guy emerged and he start clowning around with the stupidest boxing tactic of all time the '' i want to see if you can hit me '' tactic. then the remaning 6 out of 7 rounds were won by manny. he closed the rounds so good.
bradley should fire his staff, i heard they were saying the 8 round was his round and that he was doing great. 118-100 from the 3rd judge was pretty bad but still manny proved he was quicker and better even being 5 years older. :applause:

This clown :oldlol:
Why do you think it is that Bradley keeps 'injuring' himself against Pac? Last fight he claims he fractured his foot and twisted his ankle because he didn't wear socks. This time he claims he tore his calf muscle in the first round. Freddie Roach sent him boxes of socks on the house so he wouldn't have an excuse again. I mean... what's causing these 'injuries'? Was it the hex Mama Pacquiao put on him?
http://cdn.fansided.com/gif/PaqBrad2.gif
Or is it the fact that he keeps getting cracked in that big dome of his and trying to get out of the way and keep up with Pac's movement and foot speed, which he clearly cannot do? He spent the majority of the fight getting turned around after catching straight lefts- perfect way to f*ck up your legs.
Tim is a tough dude and warrior but he was, once again, out of his league. He was moving fine the whole fight. He just blew his load thinking his pillows would take Pacquiao out early and then spent the second half getting walked down and trapped on the ropes.
Easy fight. But I'm sure someone is working on the slow mo youtube video to prove Bradley wasn't outclassed once again and you'll be the first to post it here. Can't wait :cheers:

For the record, the video you are referencing wasn't made to "prove Bradley wasn't outclassed." It was made to show how unbelievably biased Lampley & Co. are when it comes to calling Pacquiao fights. And, on that subject, it is absolutely damning.
It should continue to be posted until Lampley is taken off of Pacquiao broadcasts, imo. The blow-by-blow commentator position is no place for a certified cheerleader with a heavy man-crush.

I'm sure you're an athletic mastermind and know exactly how the body works. :oldlol:
These are the best conditioned athletes in the world. They know how their bodies work, and they know what they are capable of. A calf strain happens buddy, it has little to nothing to do with anyone else. Next you'll be telling me other track runners have impact on if others get injured or not in a race. :oldlol:

Interesting he was outclassed, yet 6 rounds into it, nearly everyone had it 3-3... Even in the corner after round 6, you really heard Tim complaining about his injury. Funnily enough it is when the fight changed, and he started moving sluggishly at that point too.
Easy fight. But I'm sure someone is working on the slow mo youtube video to prove Bradley wasn't outclassed once again and you'll be the first to post it here. Can't wait :cheers:
Of course it was easy. A fight that most would have scored 8-4, and could even score 7-5 is somehow easy. :oldlol:
Not to mention it was against an injured fighter.
Before Tim started complaining about his injury, he looked like he belonged in the ring, just like the first fight. Even after his injury, Pac hit him with nothing of note to really hurt him.

Bradley looked absolutely horrible. He was huffing and puffing by the third round by loading up on power punches to KO Pacquiao. One of the worst performances I've seen from him, and I'm not even a big fan of him or his style to begin with. He is lucky he was in with post Marquez KO gun shy Pacquiao, or he would have been out of there by round 10.
I'm not buying his leg injury EXCUSE, just like I didn't buy his excuse about the spongy ring and his lack of socks in the first fight.

You clearly don't get it and keep making yourself look stupid. That's like saying that poor kid Kevin Ware injured himself because the defender made him. Had him scrambling to play D, etc.

Look at the video mate, I showed you the exact moment his injury occurred in the first fight. It wasn't the lack of socks. He was spinning around like an out of control satellite and twisted his ankle trying to escape a Pacquiao flurry. This isn't a point of debate.
And no one except the most ardent Pacquiao haters (aka you) thinks Bradley did anything except lose the first fight in wide fashion and this recent one convincingly. 2 fights, 24 rounds, one guy was clearly the superior fighter. Neither was particularly close. Bradley had like 1 or 2 punches of note that landed and both were last night.
Like I said, time to move on. Get your pom poms out for Floyd's next glorified sparring match.
