WHY BRADLEY WAS IN WHEEL CHAIR after the Bout
Each time he was hit by a Manny Pacquiao power punch, Bradley would reel --you could see his head backing off-- and tried to steady himself. Several times, he was being outbalanced by these big punches. As a result, the joints of the feet and the legs suffer. The consequence was slow in coming, that is, when the 12 rounds ended, he could no longer walk and had to be wheel-chair bound and taken to the hospital. Of course, this is a theory. But I based it on my own experience when I met an accident in San Fernando City street in October 2007. I was hit by the front wheel of a slow-moving passenger jeepney. I fell down but I did not feel anything was wrong with my right foot at that time and even signaled the driver to go on since I was rushing to an appointment. A female acquaintance saw me hit the ground and had to stop the driver, who then took me to the hospital. The following morning, I felt pain all over my right foot that went up my right leg and could not walk. Is there any other explanation on the condition of Bradley in wheel chair immediately after winning Manny's belt? Photo caption: Ilokano-Pangasinan boys on a night out in a Las Vegas casino.
