Bradley has improved since the first meeting no doubt and this new version was forged in steel, battle hardened, tough as nails...maybe he was always those things and we lost track because of his diva ways concerning Khan and the debacle that was the Alxander bout.
But Provodnikov made me appreciate Bradley again and the JMM victory showed us all he was a p4p boxer/mover. The fact still remains, Pac, even at this stage in his career has enough to beat Bradley, that's just how great he is.
I don't know if Bradley has the power to retire Manny, but at this stage, he has the skills to do it. Bradley's footwork was superb against Marquez. If he chooses to fight Manny in the same style, he will win a convincing decision. Manny does not have the patience that Marquez has. I see him walking into a perfectly timed counter right hand. I see Manny coming out very aggressive early, but at 35, he will not be able to keep that pace for the whole 12 rounds. He did against Rios because Rios wasn't firing back. I think he will be physically drained as well as mentally. A 35 year old Pac is not the same as a 30 year old Pac. He hasn't KO'd an opponent in years and I seriously doubt he KO's Bradley when he's never been KO'd. I honestly think that if Bradley attacks the body consistently and opens up in the later rounds, we could see Manny get stopped. Probably not in the dramatic fashion that Marquez executed it, but from a combination of exhaustion, frustration, and consistent in and out pressure. I think Bradley wins in an exciting bout that screams rubber match.
This TS nerd needs some new glasses if he thinks that dude is slow, and if his new frames don't work then his dumbass need to start watching polo or some sh*t and stay the f**k away from boxing
"peeleft:
pac has a bigger fight to generate bigger money vs mayweather
has a bigger fight to generate bigger money vs marquez 5
has a bigger fight to generate bigger money vs mikey garcia & prov
theres bigger fighters worth bigger money ALL WAITING ON MANNY
at the end of the day, its really all about THE MILLION$ plus manny had solidifed his legend ever since 06. watch how long it takes before the next manny pac comes along
if pacs too slow, whats rios?
if pacs too old, whats marquez?
.. think about it
He looked slow against Rios? And don't give me that it was Rios bullsh*t, I don't give a f**k if homey was boxing motherf**king Bob Arum, he still looked just as fast as always.
Pacquiao at 45 will be faster than today's Bradley lmfao
I see Bradley hitting the canvas at least once in this one.
Otherwise Pac will make him look bad.
It ultimately depends on whether Pac wants to hurt him or not.
Based on the last fight, I can only assume that Pac will make Bradley look strictly average. I had though it would be closer but Timmy looked bad. He throws too wide for someone unorthodox and fast like Manny. Predicted it the first time and I'm calling it again.
