HBO’s Harold Lederman has it 59-55 for Manny Pacquiao coming into this seventh round. Pacquiao really is looking focused and sharper now. Tim Bradley, still, just not looking as plugged in as he was early.
Pacquiao vs. Bradley 2016 live results: Manny drops Bradley late in 7th round
With the first half of the fight gone, is Manny Pacquiao taking control again?
Pacquiao’s right hook is coming back into play. Any possible shoulder issue may have just been mental and passing for Pacquiao, too. That’s entirely possible. Or maybe we all read more into it than there was. Also very possible.
Bradley is looking a little like the gears are turning but he can’t find the right spots to attack at the moment. He throws a little but all of it is picked off by Pacquiao. Bradley is just not working enough this round. Manny is the guy coming forward, and will steal rounds anyway.
Bradley goes down with 15 seconds left in the round! Quick, short shot inside, looked maybe like a slip, but the referee called the knockdown, and that point swing is big. The round ends and Tim Bradley is looking dejected, frankly. Replay shows it was a clean knockdown.
