Pacquiao vs. Bradley Highlights: Pac-Man's Frenetic Pace Made for Exciting Fight

Manny Pacquiao's ferocious and powerful attack was on full display Saturday night. It made an otherwise lopsided fight worth watching.

Pac-Man battled Tim Bradley's light fists with his usual, precise assault. It made for a one-sided clash, but Pacquiao's punches, at least, provided viewers with something worth watching.

Let's take a look at Pacquiao's approach to Bradley and why it made for must-see television.

Stay Aggressive

Pacquiao never wavered from his aggressive approach Saturday night.

He landed more punches and more power punches, and he landed both at a higher rate than his competition. He didn't leave Bradley any room to breathe and made sure Desert Storm had to come to him.

Without stopping, Pacquiao came after Bradley with a full head of steam. His relentless style completely erased Bradley's comfort zone, and it allowed him to fight his optimum style.

Chasing Bradley around the ring kept Bradley's punches to a minimum and forced the rising star to fight from his heels for the majority of the fight. Fighting with uncertainty will never work against a fighter of Pacquiao's caliber.

Watching these two square off, and the look on Bradley's face, made the ideal result of the fight obvious. Pacquiao dominated the majority of the fight. He appeared to be in another class entirely at some points. 

What Made This So Exciting?

Would you rather watch a fighter prance around for 12 rounds or watch someone slug their way through a major fight? I'm assuming you opted for the latter.

Pacquiao's furious pace always creates exciting television. He is always on the attack, and the possibility of a knockout is always alive.

Paired with Bradley's defensive mindset, Pacquiao's heavy fists were a breath of fresh air. He didn't want to sit back and wait for Bradley to come to him.

He wanted to make Bradley fight his fight.

This fight was incredibly uneven, but at least we got to watch one elite fighter do what he does best.

Pacquiao's power is tough to match, and he showed that again Saturday night.
