Comments Thread For: Photos: Tim Bradley Sparring Tough For Manny Pacquiao

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

I'll bet you 50M that Bradley beats Pac. I don't know if Bradley will drop Pac or not but I'll bet you 10M additional that Pac doesn't stop Bradley. Let me know

Sig it.

Idk about stopping but I'll do 10m Pacquiao drops Bradley AT LEAST once.

No, actually about 95% of the hundreds of posts I've made hyping my boy up deals with his ability to control fights and force other fighters to give up their game plans.

How impressive it is that Bradley dominates nearly every fight while being the weaker puncher and the fact that this takes away 1 of the 2 advantages that Pac has over Tim, power.

Pac being a harder puncher won't really matter because Tim is used to winning these fights while being considered the weaker puncher.

Pac is faster true but mainly effective against a guy that is primary flatfooted and stationary. Pac is a shorter guy with a short reach...plain physics and intuition would tell the insightful man that Pac would be most effective within a small radius. If you remove yourself from this radius, Pac must move as well in order to reach you, either by shuffling towards you or by leaping in at you. Bradley is a very good counter puncher and his movement and footwork are excellent. Bradley will move around and make Pac follow him....right into counter shots.

Bradley is a better inside fighter who understands how to tie up on the inside which Pac seems to struggle with at times.

Add in the fact that as you alluded to, Bradley is in tremendous shape, he won't fatigue like most of Pac's opponents have. He won't allow to take rounds of like he is accustomed to doing.

I could keep on going into reasons why I feel that Bradley can and will win as I could come up with reasons why I think Pac could win. I think that the turmoil, undercover lies, strained promotional relationship, and underestimation of opponent are all going to ,align the stars, so to speak for Bradley.

Pac's team appears to subscribe to this general idea that Bradley is a weak punching, no name, dime a dozen pretender who is going to get swallowed up by the spotlight and give Pac some sparring rounds before the KO comes. Like this fight will erase the rumors that Pac will struggle against a slick, black African-American boxer.

Bradley is probably one of the most hated on, underrated boxers I can think of. That guy is not who Pac and his camp think he is....not at all.

Kendal Holt is not nearly as fast or hits as hard as manny and he tagged dat ass... I think thats his biggest win, close one tho

Manny will win either UD (wide) or KO 10th...

Accepting any bets... or better say any donations cause it will really be one.

Betting 40mil straight that manny wins!!

Going for Bradley on this one....WAR BRADLEY!!!!

Sig it.

I think Pac could catch Bradley in the first or second round as Tim is adjusting to Pac's speed but after more than a few rounds go by, the likelihood of Bradley getting knocked down goes down.

I'm cool with the Bradley-Pac winner bet...I'll stick with just that one.

I'll take that action. My 40 mil if you give me 3-1 odds. Shouldn't be a problem for you since you are so confident.

Word. Got it sigged.

Lmao if Bradley won I can picture you doing it Teddy style like last night... Make sure someone is recording you just in case.

Bradley is head strong so I like his chances

I think Bradley is a very polished fighter. He lacks power but not heart. Phisicially a strong guy and unbeaten so he will go down fighting. If he can deal with the leg and hand speed of Manny he gets the nod. Manny isn't a devastating puncher at welterweight but his volume is what get people in trouble. If Bradley can avoid being hit hard and often he can win. I like the Michigan shirt he's wearing so I'm rolling with the "M"

Anything can happen and if Arum thinks he can ride the Pac money train a few more times,then no matter how good Bradley does, Pac will win the decision. If, however, Arum is planning ahead, he may want to cash out on Pac and setup Bradley as another marketable fighter. If this is the case , then I could see Bradley winning a decision....the ball is all in Arum's court and after Pac tried to expose Arum's corrupt accounting practices, Arum could be trying to get Pac out of the mix.

Dude, I respect Bradley's skill and determination but he would be just about the worst candidate for a new star possible. You think Arum sees Bradley as worth it to sacrifice Pacquiao? Watch Bradley-Alexander. Even if Bradley beat Pac he'd probably do so in an ugly fashion. He's about 1/100th as marketable as Pacquiao. That would be an insane gameplan if there ever was one. You're starting to get silly here.

Lots of people here underestimating both Bradley and Pacquiao. Apparently now Pacquiao can't win if an opponent has any boxing ability.

Man, no kidding, I get hyped up over every little bet I make once my dude wins. I remember when Salido dropped JuanMa in the rematch, I was jumping up off the ground screaming and we ended up shutting the windows so the neighbors didn't complain.

When Sergio dropped P-will.....I re-watched that thing like 20 times and laughed each time I saw it.

I probably wouldn't shut up about a Bradley win for at least 6 months. I'd try to keep it in check but I'd be thinking "I told ya'll so" the entire time.
