By Chris Williams: WBO welterweight champion Tim Bradley feels really good about his win over Manny Pacquiao last Saturday night. He says he had Pacquiao visibly frustrated because he didn’t stand there and get beaten up like many of Pacquiao’s opponents have in the past few years.

Bradley told RingTV “He [Pacquiao] was…slapping his gloves together, saying ‘Come on, fight me,’…I was clearly out-boxing him. He was absolutely frustrated…I wasn’t one of those guys that was going to stand right there in front of him…He doesn’t like movement.”

Yeah, I noticed that too. Pacquiao wanted Bradley to fight his fight like past Pacquiao victims Ricky Hatton, Oscar De La Hoya, and Miguel Cotto. But Bradley was too smart for that. He used movement to make Pacquiao frustrated and helpless.

Once Bradley noticed that Pacquiao couldn’t handle any kind of movement, that’s when he had the Filipino fighter. From the 6th round on, Bradley dominated the remainder of the fight to get the win. He won enough rounds in the first half of the fight to ensure that he walked out of the ring with Pacquiao’s World Boxing Organization 147 pound trinket.

Pacquiao was completely lost once Bradley started moving and making him miss. Part of the problem for Pacquiao is the kinds of sparring partners his trainer Freddie Roach had been bringing to training camp to get ready for the Bradley fight. He had guys like Ruslan Provodnikov, a straight ahead Hatton-type of slugger to get Pacquiao ready.

Provodnikov can do some things like Bradley in terms of when he goes straight at his opponents, but Bradley is so much more complex. He does a lot more than going at his opponents. Bradley uses the whole ring, and can turn on a dime to start taking the fight to his opposition. Pacquiao wasn’t ready for that, which is why he looked so lost in the last six rounds of the fight. He can’t handle movement, and Roach didn’t help him by putting in the wrong sparring partners to get him ready for Bradley.
