Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao Needs To Dominate, Knockout Bradley

[jimboinbigd]

Manny Pacquiao is super religious now because he is feeling guilty because of the dirt he been doing. Pac ain't knocking out Bradley. Manny Pacquiao....
Mr....

"Floyd Mayweather Jr can wait but heaven can't"

Yeah, I agree. It's amazing he rediscovered his faith after the alleged rumors of him cheating on his wife, and **********s, etc...

Pac is a total fraud, imo. And anybody who fights him without demanding drug testing is a total whore as far as I am concerned.

Well Marquez was moving 2 full divisions up to fight Pacquiao while already being 38 years old and not only Pacquiao failed to dominate him, but also failed to win.

About Bradley, if they take the same approach of just depending on Pacquiao's power without having any strategy and showing a poor footwork, then Bradley is going to be a tougher opponent than he should be.

Freddie Roach can't change Manny Pacquiao's style of fighting. Too late for that. They should have started after the first JMM fight and definitely after the second. Roach told us that Manny Pacquiao was "new and improved" but it was just a case of catch weights and careful match making. They fooled a lot of people including me in the beginning. I always thought Pac was a good fighter but not great. He only dominated guys who tried to out punch and **** with him. Any fighter who showed movement, angles, patience and timed punching was a problem for him. The way Pac is talking he is going to be the same guy against Bradley. Funny how Roach got so much props for being a super trainer but he hasn't done much with Pac style and technique wise. Pac has the tools but the flaws were never fixed.

Isn't this exactly what Manny people were saying about Marquez - Manny would destroy him?

I think Manny is going to have the toughest fight of the past few years on his hands. Bradley will not be a walkover.

you would be correct on all counts

Won't happen, sorry Roach. This will be a close 12 rd match with Bradley either getting robbed on the cards or Pac scraping by. Either way, it is a lose lose for Pac., even if he gets the W that way. I doubt Bradley could stop Pac...no way he could KO him. I could "maybe" see Pac taking a lot of shots/damage but no way in hell Arum/TR would allow some ref to stop it and let Pac get TKOed. Pac has heart so he won't get discouraged so I do see Pac winning a decision. For some reason I just do not see Pac stopping Bradley, not sure why, I am not even a fan of Bradley. Even though Bradley is not elite level skilled as a fighter, I do not see Pac outboxing him either. Speed is what bothers Pac more than anything, especially now because he hasn't seen speed in years from the opponents hes faced. I think Bradleys speed and tenacity will really make Pac uncomfortable, even though I still think Pac is going to win.

Here come the excuses now "pacs training fell apart " in the last fight?? didnt roach say that it was his best training yet and ariza said "not even god can save marquez " what a joke this has become pac lost his last fight and didnt look good against mosley and margs fight margs landed a lot of punches on pac,(237) now this fight should be interesting because from the way its looking pac is simply shopworn and on the way out the equilizer is that bradley doesnt have much power,it should be a rough fight.

I understood that you'd hinted that Marquez was his toughest fight of the past few years. Perhaps what you mean is that every fight from now on will be he toughest of the past few years..........

He does need to dominate. His stock dropped a bit with the most recent JMM fight. Another close/controversial fight that leaves the fans with a sour taste ...good luck getting 60-40..

Lol @ Roach I think Marquez, is the reason hes getting religious.. Roach said the same crap b4 that fight, and went as far as saying manny has a fire he hasnt seen in a long time.. Of course he's going back on that now.. Bradley, his statements lead me to believe, hes not there to win.. Usually when a boxer say's he will have to "Kill me to beat me" they are already mentally beat.. Hes admitting Pacs faster and stronger, it just doesnt seem like hes there to win. But i havent read Tim statements in previous fights so hopefully im wrong..

[mathed]

Good luck with that Roach.

It's gonna be a hard fight Pacquiao can win by ko/tko or ud
