Re: Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley II
Manny came out on the cards this time, but I don't think he looked as good as during the last match up.

Bradley wasn't an easy cake. He improved a lot from their first fight.
I think it should go to Manny's credit to being able to dominate this version of Bradley. Manny still has that lateral movement and has become more intelligent (and deadly accurate) with his punch flurries.
It was the kind of fight that made me feel interested again in a Floyd - Pacquiao fight.

Re: Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley II
I agree with all of that, including that Bradley was a different version - his comments about training for a knockout seemed to make more sense after watching the fight, his strategy was changed. Manny had good lateral movement and accuracy in his flurries. But what about his speed? That was the big thing I didn't see that was so mind blowing when watching the Manny of say four/five years ago.

Re: Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley II
True. Manny's speed isn't the same as before. Of course he's become heavier and older, so it's been somehow expected.
At least Manny has managed to compensate for such things. I'm not sure whether it's been Roach work or simply wisdom by age, but Pac is a more complete fighter now than before.

A Floyd - Pac fight would for sure be a good determination of this new Pacquiao's skills.

What a great performance from Manny Pacquiao!, he beat Tim Bradley decisively this time. I think that although Bradley knows he lost this fight, he will have an easier time with the aftermath than he did for that of the first fight.
Pacquiao's tactics were brilliant in this fight, throughout rounds, consistently, he forced the pace, sustained a high punch output, worked consistently throughout rounds, kept Bradley moving, unlike the way he boxed in the first fight, letting Bradley work at his pace for 2 minutes, and trying to claw it back his way in the last minute. Bradley did well early in the fight, landed some good shots down the middle, took advantage of Pacquiao's basic, fundamental weaknesses, he boxed out of his character, he chased a knock out, had the belief that if Marquez could land the bold overhand right, he could do do it, he stiffened Pacquiao's legs in round 4, but that's all he did, Bradley, not a puncher, and though a great athletem you can't keep lunging with those right hands, put everything into the shots, and expect not to tire, and that's what happened, after 6 rounds, Pacquiao took over, I tnink Bradley was lumbered with a leg injury as well will didn't help him.

Re: Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley II
First time seeing this one now, I must say Bradley was driven to prove the first one was no fluke! Here's a little known fact about me, I was so disgusted by the decision of the first Pacquiao vs Bradley fight that I quit watching boxing. At the time I said I wouldn't watch boxing ever again for life, but around circa 2018 I began watching again.
