In the first round, Bradley took control using his jab to engage Pacquiao’s gloves and being able to time force Pacquiao to react as opposed to sit back and wait and counterpunch. The second round saw Pacquiao return the favor as he mounted his best offense of the whole fight.

The fighters continued to trade rounds as Bradley on our card picked up the third, meanwhile Pacquiao dominated the fourth. The fifth round saw a tough round that Bradley was winning turning into a clear Pacquiao round based off a late flurry that Bradley moving backwards.

During the break between the fifth and sixth round, Bradley’s coach, Teddy Atlas urged Bradley to be more urgent and use his game plan as opposed to trading with Pacquiao. Though Bradley tried he eventually was knocked down by a flash knockdown in seventh round that seemingly changed the fight.
