I used to watch quite a bit of boxing, less so these days, but I was impressed with Bradley almost constantly being the aggressor, particularly in contrast to how I was being told he was losing heavily. As I've continued to say, I expected Manny to win a unanimous decision, but that there is a possibility that the judges weren't paid off and legitimately saw it as a Bradley win if the half of the fight I saw was representative of how the fight was being viewed.
its a subjective sport... i know
but Pac did back Bradley up against the ropes at least twice in the second half of the fight. Bradleys manager scored the fight 8-4 for Pac!!!
I just dont remember any clean power punches from Bradley
Yea, Bradley did get stuck in the corner once or twice in what I saw, but not because he was shaken, just by poor spacing really (and yes, it's also a sign of Manny being the aggressor at the time).
I didn't see either fighter get shaken really, but just to mention it, there was the moment, I think in the 9th maybe, where Bradley and the commentators thought Manny might've been rattled and Bradley went super aggressive for a few seconds following up, after which Manny smiled at the commentators (usually the type of move that is a clue that it did hurt them). I didn't think Manny was really hurt, but that was a moment if someone is looking for one.
