Pacquiao punching power 'way harder' in first fight Bradley

Timothy Bradley admitted Manny Pacquiao was able to hurt him throughout their WBO welterweight title rematch that lasted another 12 rounds Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

Bradley's face swelled from the purches he took from Pacquiao but Bradley was convinced that the former pound-for-pound king's power was no longer the same from the time they met in the ring the first time nearly two year ago.

"I believe in the  first fight his punching power was way harder but I was able to take it," Bradley, who suffered his first loss after winning straight, said during the post-fight presser.

"I mean it was very effective tonight, he was able to daze me a couple of times during the fight but I still was able to stay up on my feet but I had no control of my balance this time around."

Pacquiao said he looked for the knockout but just couldn't pull it off as Bradley managed to hang on.

"There was a time  I was looking for the knockout but he was moving around," Pacquiao said after a decisive 116-112, 116-112, 118-110 unanimous decision win.
