Yeah that is definitely true, punching power comes from your legs. Just look at Mike Tyson as another example, of course he had a great physique all over but he had monstrous legs.

Re: Pacquiao vs Bradley: rigged or not rigged?

Watched this fight again tonight after discussing it with a co-worker and I still can't give Bradley any more than 3 rounds and that's being generous.

I could friggin' care less about "agression" as a scoring parameter...what good does aggression do if it leads to nothing?!?!? Even if a round is close, why should aggression be a determining factor? Should a counter punching fighter that likes to set traps be penalized because he simply just doesn't come forward all the time? NO.

It's comparable to how stupid the judging in the UFC has got with "octagon control" and scoring stupid takedowns that lead to no or little damage...it's RIDICULOUS.

Move over RJJ/Si-Hun, Sweet Pea/JCC, etc. as you now have company.

I've seen non aggressive fighters lose many fights despite actually winning..

I believe it was rigged. Either has something to do about Manny's "g-a-y" comments or the fact that if Manny won, Mayweather is in jail, meaning that Manny would be without a fight for a long time.

Re: Pacquiao vs Bradley: rigged or not rigged?

What do people here think about the rematch? Does Bradley have a better chance having fought Pac, or will it be easier for Pac to finish? Bradley is very tough, and I think would be VERY hard to put away and eliminate any judging... but as someone else said, IF Arum did have his hands in this, he would want Pac to win so there is a trilogy...[/quote]

I'm not sure who wins that fight. I believe Pac really tried to K.O Bradley in that fight and couldn't get it done. I also think the fight was closer than most people think.

I will watch the rematch.

Re: Pacquiao vs Bradley: rigged or not rigged?

It would be one thing if the judges came out and said "hey its a tough job and it looked close at the time, Bradley was ultra aggressive, so on and so forth but after watching I can see where we were off. We made a bad call". But one of those judges has continued (adamantly) to justify his scoring of the match...and poorly I might add. That in of itself makes it a little fishy.
