So what exactly does Bradley have to do to beat Pacquiao?

Thoughts? I think he needs to take advantage of Pacquiao's weak points. Go for the body. Cut off the ring after giving him hard body shots (don't let him slither away like he did rd. 6 against Margarito) back him up. good luck tim i dont think it will happen, but i think manny has deteriorated enough for the fight to be fun

When he signed to top rank his chances of beating pac went out the door LLS that is one way of looking at it

Bradley has already said how he is going to beat Pac and I agree with what he said, he will use his feet and positioning so Manny is never set. We saw in Mannys last two fights that if guys cant compete with fists they do it with their feet and then Manny cant use his hands. He was kept long vs Shane and wasnt willing to take the risks to try and get close and he couldnt work Marquez out at the 3rd time of asking. Bradley being a young quick fighter in his prime can replicate this foot movement that the old guys implemented vs Pac. This doesnt mean Bardley wont get close and do his usual roughing up, it just means he will pick his spots. I predict Bradlkey will do very well but struggle to see the judges giving him the decision.

Thoughts? I think he needs to take advantage of Pacquiao's weak points. Go for the body. Cut off the ring after giving him hard body shots (don't let him slither away like he did rd. 6 against Margarito) You have to run like Mosley and he will win according to some fans even if he lost in one sided decision just like Mosley.

All Bradley has to do is follow the blueprint that JMM set forth: Box from all angles Never move straight back/only to the sides Stay busy on the inside/avoid mid-range exchanges Whenever Pacquiao starts bouncing, prepare to guard and slip Work from behind the jab but don't rely on it so heavily that you become predictable/mix up different punches throughout Come in prepared to box 12 FULL ROUNDSWhen and if you hurt him, go to the body like a demon, not the head Most importantly, don't let Pacquiao get off to a good start. The way Pacquiao begins often times sets the bar as to how well he'll do. Manny knows he isn't the best boxer, so he tries to build up a lead early on in case things get difficult later on. If Bradley can establish some respect in the first 3 rounds, Manny will be reluctant to frequently dart in and out. You see .. the secret to Manny's success is two-fold. First, Roach understood a while ago that few boxer's today have a SOLID, NON-LAZY JAB. Most boxers use it to probe .. and they paw with it and put next to NOTHING behind it. A jab is only as useful as the commitment behind it. Second, Manny is a southpaw, meaning he leads with his right. If you watch the majority of his fights, he scores knockdowns by leaping passed a fighter's primary weapon .. the left jab .. and then tees off with his own straight left. Its so simple and effective that it should be criminal, but some fighters fall for it. Especially the plodders who only move forward and backwards. The secret to JMM's success in the last fight in which he dominated was the fact that he actually boxed and moved laterally instead of standing and trading in order to create attempts to counter. Moving out of the way of Pacquiao's left completely shut down any offense strikes Manny attempted. Manny was left looking awkward and more importantly desperate to land something big. The problem for Bradley is that none of us know whether he'll have JMM's ability to counter or JMM's ability to stay calm in the pocket. If Tim can execute what I wrote above, he's got a REALLY good chance up delivering an upset. If not, then I don't see what he can do as his physical attributes have never come across as exceptional. Best way to do it.

Stay patient, use his jab,counter punch, and feint. Go to the body, and back Pac up. Pac has very bad balance, his foot work is that of a clown in a circus act, jumping around and skipping. If Bradley remains patient and place his shots to the body, he will frustrate Pac, and by the late rounds Pac will be less mobile, and confused. A sitting duck! Bradley is a very good boxer, I personally believe that if Pac s not on the juice and comes clean lke he did in his last Marquez fight, Bradley will stop Pac late in the fight. If Pac is on the juice Bradley will not be able to hurt Pac and Pac will be to hyper active therefore he will ko bradley early. No juice Bradley wins, if Pac is on the juice then Pac wins.

he has no chance of winning , bradley will get KTFO!! 73,357 e-points says otherwise

Big dumb so I guess there's no point in a PAC vs Floyd match because Floyd won't be able to knock manny out and the judges are manny friendly or in ur words bob friendly, so Floyd can't win based on ur logic? Where u at brAhhh... Using ur logic Floyd won't be able to win hell bring on Martinez he won't beat PAC either because the judges are PAC and bob friendly who are you talking about and why are you quoting yourself?

A combination of prayer, steroids, loaded wraps and a gun wouldn't hurt. Still wouldn't guarantee him a win.

To beat Pac he'll need; Better defense. Be a better counter puncher. If he's overly aggressive he's getting stopped most likely.

good fight,I've Bradley winning here

The judges were Bob friendly. MAnny winning is good for bob. ergo, the judges are "manny friendly". And you best believe if Bob thinks he has someone who will outsell manny, those judges will be "bob friendly" too. Vegas judges favour aggression, well they do in all but 1 fight Mayweather vs Castillo. Don't know what happened there.:grumble:

I don't think the judges were manny friendly, like I said beat pac decisively and u'll win. Don't cry about it after.If u wanna talk about bad judges take the khan Peterson fight for an example, but since khan fights for roach and so does manny u will see it different.

he has to swarm Bradley better be prepared to work 3 min every single rd he's stronger than Pac, but he's not a hard puncher body work is crucial for Bradley he needs to cut off the ring and put Pac on the ropes if he can uppercuts can do damage for Bradley up close

I guess you were not aware than Khan lost 2 points in that fight right??

Make it an ugly boring fight, that is tough to decpiher and hope he gets the benefit of the doubt which is unlikely but who knows. Bradley is a good boxer but he can't freeze out Manny on the outside, and from far out he throws some terrible looking punches which will likely cost him agianst Manny, plus Manny will throw more punches thus giving him a clear edge in that scenario. If he opens up and tries to match Manny blow for blow, he certainly isn't winning that way. So that leaves him with dragging the fight into the mud which he is adept at, that should throw off Manny a bit and mitigate his offense plus it gives Bradley a bit of free reign with his inside game. If Manny can create space though this plan will fall apart because the nice looking punches will belong to Manny when he gets that space even if it is only a small percent of the time those moments will be very clear while the rest of the fight will be muddled.

I think its clear Bob will have judges and a referee that wont cheat but will be "manny friendly" Exactly what happened for Marquez.

I don't expect Bradley to try and replicate Marquez and Mosley at all. Maybe at points, but that won't be his top priority. He will go at Pacquiao, get inside, and smother. He'll probably be stronger, he's definitely better inside, and he'll be able to clinch and neutralize Pacquiao once there. Whether he can do that without catching huge shots, well that depends on Pacquiao. don't know about that...pac is really hard to pin inside because he moves well and is fast on his feet. and you have to open up to get pac on the inside. hatton and margarito paid a painful price for doing that. not that i'm saying bradley is as easy to hit as hatton and margarito but you can get inside against pac without getting hit. i maybe wrong but i don't see bradley using inside fighting against pac.

Stop crying bro Shiits getting old.. Bradley needs to beat PAC decisively and he'll get the w. In the other thread you commented its wrong for judges to come into a fight favoring one fighter over the other. I think its clear Bob will have judges and a referee that wont cheat but will be "manny friendly" I don't see how Bradley wins. I don't think he gets the fight if there is a good chance he wins.

inb4 he tries to counter Pacquiao and fails .... Lol this happend to me using bradley in fight night.Straight left and out.
