For me personally, Pac vs Bradley 3 is one of those fights I just don't care about. I don't care which one of them wins. If Bradley wins, whatever. Pac's retiring. I'm sure the motivation isn't there for Pac. If Pac wins, whatever. It happened twice already. The intrigue isn't there anymore. Hell, I wasn't even excited for the second fight.
if it really is pac's last outing, i'd rather just have bradley win. but the only way he will win will be to run and spoil the fight. he'll take advantage of the fact that pac's legs are done.
Freedom why did you put me on ignore and disable your visitor messages after i messaged you?

I think Pac's gonna lose this match. It'll be via robbery, or maybe he'll take a dive or something. Arum was behind the 1st match robbery, which imo was an attempt to create a new star for TR in Bradley.
It failed hard because the time wasn't right and featherfisted Timbo wasn't marketable and blatantly lost to Pac in the eyes of anyone non retarded, but now, after stopping iron chinned Rios, and with Pac officially retiring and coming from a loss, after dissapointing the world by not beating the hateful Mayweather or making the match more entertaining, now might be the right time.
The passing of the Torch, the Top Rank Torch. Arum has so much influence over Pac that they might be in cahoots over this. Pac's gonna retire anyway, so he might aswell do his beloved Bobfather one last favour by losing to Timmeh. Pac's an idiot at anything regarding Arum after all
You may not care who wins but it has major implications for the sport. An impressive win by either puts them firmly in the driver's seat at 147.
Gotta disagree. A Pac win that isnt spectacular, which is very hard against Bradley, would only prove that he can beat a man most people would say he already beat twice. Same for Bradley, unless he gets a KO all he would be given credit for is beating a shot Pacquiao on his way out the door. Not saying I agree with it, I just see it already.
As a fan of the sport you may be uninterested in the match-up but it'll probably be a decent fight if not a surprising explosive one.
I think Bradley wants a win over Pacquiao more than we realize. If Pacquiao doesn't take Bradley seriously enough he might be in for a rude awakening.
Manny hasn't even thrown 800 punches a fight in years and has slowly decreased his output in recent fights. Bradley threw more punches in their second fight as well.
I agree with you that Tim has shown improvements, but I disagree with your logic of the second fight "had to be done after the way the first one ended".
It was a robbery, and reeked of shady judges & Arum's involvement.
I think the worst thing a fighter can do in the event of a robbery is grant a rematch. Otherwise, it incentivizes future robberies. I thought it was awesome seeing Tim's lame ass getting taken out in a wheelchair after the 1st fight--looked like a joke compared to Pac.
A quick example, lots of people forget that Mayweather/Canelo was a split decision win. May beat Canelo's ass, but was a draw on one of the judge's scorecards, and was way closer than it should've been on Moretti's. The fix was clearly in, and had it been a robbery, do you think a rematch should have happened?
Fight game has always made room for corruption, but I see it getting worse as the years go on. Least fighters can do to fight back is not grant rematches in case of robbery. I wish Pac had **** on Tim's face, and moved on after the first fight.
We just disagree on a small point. The more important thing is we know that the first fight was a robbery. I think robberies should always warrant a rematch. Maybe not an immediate one, but somewhere down the line
I just hope somehow someway that the fight surprises and turns out much better than either of the first two. Who wins is not really a concern to me because Manny is on the way out and Bradley most likely will not be able to fight anyone I care about seeing him fight.
I wasn't all that interested in the second fight either, but it had to be done after the way the first one ended. I don't care who wins, per se, because I'm a fan of both but I think the third fight can be really good. The more time Bradley gets with Atlas, the better he will be
