Philippine pride Manny Pacquiao lost the match today/tonight to American boxer Timothy Bradley by split decision. Filipinos and other Pacman fans say that the scores were unfair and that the Sting Malunggay endorser should have won, well, I think that Bradley performed well and had some of the rounds but Manny still should've won that fight.
Why?
Bradley only shown enthusiasm during the last 3 or 4 rounds of the fight but clearly, Pacquiao did better earlier. His punches are way better than those of Bradley's and he clearly blocked efficiently. Yes, he was cornered and as I saw, the People's champ was slower (age?) but his punches are still powerful. Also, as seen in the replays, Bradley's head turned from side to side with each punch that Pacquiao landed on his face. He was getting dizzy as the fight progressed so I guess, he decided not to attack and let Pacquiao do the offense. He was just blocking and throwing jabs here and there...there were a lot of running and hugging too.
I think that Manny won the fight, he deserved that. But the Saranggani Congressman did not won the scorecards. His punches were defenseless once the judges had their decision-- 2-1 in favor of Bradley. The reason for this, is maybe because Pacquiao was too cool and affirmative that he owned the fight letting Bradley's jabs and punches score.
Hindi nanggigil si Manny.
I am positive for a rematch so I rest my case.
