Manny Pacquiao wins Unanimous Decision. Thanks for following this live event. Good night.
Round 12 - Pacquiao seals the deal. Manny wins this easily. 9-2-1 for Pacquiao. I am calling the first round a draw. So Manny won nine rounds in the end to me to Bradley's two. pacman was on him. Manny takes home the gold officially Unanimous Decision.
Round 11 - I can give that round to Bradley simply because Pacman threw it away. Pacquiao needs to finish strong.
Round 10 - Bradley has nothing left. Pacquiao is in clear control. I have the 8-1-1 through 10 rounds, Manny Pacquiao winning.
Round 9 - Pacquiao is winnning cause he is ainming his punches and landing. Bradley does not look like he is even aiming his punches. Bradley had thrown his strategy out of the window. He needs a knockout for sure and since he only has 12 in his career it is going to be hard to come by.
Round 8 - Bradley looks like he is throwing rounds away now. Pacquiao wins that round again. Manny is taking control of the bout.
Round 7 - Pacquiao was landing some big shots. Starting to look like Manny has this under control.
Round 6 - Pacquiao is going to get that round simply because he looked busy. Manny did not land much.
Round 5 - Going to give that round to Pacquiao for some reason. That really was a close round but Manny can have that.
Round 4 - Bradley gets this round. It is starting to look like Bradley is measuring Pacquiao. Bradley could gain some confidence from this round. Manny better be careful. He might get dropped.
Round 3 - Pacquiao won round 3 also. He is starting to put his punches together and in bunches. Bradley is throwing hard punches but not hitting anything.
Round 2 - Pacquiao clearly won that round. He hit Bradley with a couple of nice shots. Let's see how Bradley responds.
Round 1 - Got to love the camoflage and green gloves of Bradley. That looked like a pretty even round. It is going to be interesting who they give that round to. Both Bradley and Pacquiao were feeling each other out.
00:18 Bradley looks ready for this fight. Manny better be on top of his game.
00:25 Bradley is coming to the ring to hip-hop music, he is playing the bad guy role for sure. Got to love it. The champ is here!
00:12 The crowd is definitely full of Pacquiao fans. He has a homecourt advantage with the crowd. Bradley needs to feed off the negative energy.
00:09 They are starting to build up the anticipation, it is almost fight time thank goodness. Pacman is getting ready to come to the ring. Manny better be focused.
00:05 It seems like the boxing experts are split on who they think is going to win this fight. For me, I have Pacquiao winning this fight.
00:01 Bradley has an opportunity to end Pacquiao's career. This is a very important fight for both fighters.
23:54 Beltran gets the win but he had to work for it.
23:52 Beltran is going to get the win but Usmanee surely did a great job for taking this fight on short notice. Only one week to prepare, not bad.
23:48 I think I am going to eat Cap'n Crunch with Crunch Berries during the fight. It is going to be 12 midnight EST before we get to the main event, cereal is definitely the snack.
23:39 Usmanee and Beltran is actually a very decent fight. They just got through showing Pacquiao praying before his fight, the crowd is going to be for Pacman for sure.
23:36 Beltran is actually making this an interesting fight. This fight has a little bit more action than I thought it would be.
23:16 Usmanee is taking care of business so far. This could be an upset over Beltran.
23:00. When it is all said and done this is what I know. If Manny Pacquiao loses this fight to Timothy Bradley tonight, Pacquiao might as well retire. A loss tonight confirms that he does not have the killer instinct to be a top notch fightrer anymore. Bradley only had 12 KO's to his credit, so a Pacman loss will also mean that Manny can't control the pace anymore. Control the pace and you usually control the score cards.
22:55. It is almost time to get me a dark lager and look this fight! This preliminary crap is annoying, but hey it is all part of the game.
This preliminary stuff needs to end and we need to get to the main event!!!
On my podcast "The Slimm Jimm Sports Zone", I had Simon Holguin from Vavel USA come in and give som insight as to how he sees this fight panning out. He feels that Bradley has a great chance at getting this fight.
22:50. Roach said that in the Pacquiao fight versus Oscar Dela Hoya that he had to actually encourage Pacman to punish De La Hoya. If Roach need to push Manny to become a killer inthe ring then there is definitely a problem with Pacman.
Freddie Roach feels that Pacquiao has become to domesticated, that because he has money and fame he had become soft. That actually might be the case.
Pacquiao truly needs to control the fight and impose his will on Bradley.
22:45. Bradley was able to control the pace of the last fight which could bode well for him if he is able to do that again tonight.
22:40. Tim Bradley lost the last fight with Pacquiao because though he looked like the more active fighter, he did not hit Manny with enough power punches to the head so he could score more effectively.
Live Coverage: Fight Pacquiao - Bradley II
22:35. Tim Bradley is coming into this fight undefeated and and would like to come out of this fight with a win to set up a possible match with Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the future. Floyd Mayweather Jr. will be fighting Marcos Maidana on May 3.
22:30. Manny Pacquiao need to find his old form. He needs to find that killer instict once again in oreder to re-establish himself in the realm of the pound for pound greats of today.
22:25. This is going to be an interesting fight. A lot of people felt that Bradley won the last fight in June 2012 over Pacquiao but the judges had a different view. Since that fight "Pacman" has hit the canvas at the hands of Juan Miguel Marquez in one of the epic knockouts in history and his trainer Freddie Roach actually questions the killer instinct or lack there of in his fight Manny Pacquiao.
