Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley: I Honestly Feel Pacquiao is an Easy Fight!

Originally posted by mathed View PostI am just worried about the robbery on the cards. Pac seems to look unimpressive against movement and Bradley will have lots of it.....I just got a feeling stuff is lined up right for Tim. I can't help but feel that Pac, Roach and the rest of those guys think Bradley is a pushover who is going to walk up to Pac and throw punches.
Bringing in Providnikov is a prime example of this. That guy is like a tank who is going to walk forward and attack...little to no movement, slow, and not a boxer at all (more like a brawler). If that is how they think Tim is going to fight, they are going to be in for a shock.
I do want to start betting on fights though....I was looking at that 5 dimes website but I'm in the states and don't really know how all the online stuff works....I know the Feds shut down Bodog
Pacquiao does appear to struggle with movement if the Mosley fight is anything to go by but it's worth remembering he still easily out-pointed him.
I just think sooner or later the two fighters are going to get caught in a toe-to-toe exchange and that's where it will probably get ugly for Tim, just as it did for Cotto who was winning the opening rounds v Pac.
We'll see though.

I just can't wait for this fight.....I like both fighters and just hope that Bradley does what I think he will so that the dude can finally get some credit.

Originally posted by mathed View PostRoach has been quoted as saying that Bradley is a com-forward fighter and that meshes well with Pac's style. Then they bring in Providnikov as a key sparring partner.

This is gonna be one hell of a matchup though. A real good test for the "Pacquiao has trouble with movers" theory.

Originally posted by mathed View PostI forgot about Proploddingcough......Pac might as well have not started sparring yet, that guy is like Margarito or Rios, not Bradley. They have this impression of Bradley but it's the wrong one.
I'll put it this way, if Pac was really taking Bradley seriously, he wouldn't have kicked Ariza out of his camp. Pac is definitely dangerous but he isn't going to be beating Bradley coming in at 60%.
He also didn't kick Ariza out of his camp. Where do you come up with this stuff? You also notice that Roach, Pacquiao, and Ariza have all made a lot of mention about how Bradley "comes forward, likes to fight toe to toe, is strong" and this could simply be a trick to make Bradley think they think he's one-dimensional. I mean they're talking about him basically being a brawler any chance they get.Last edited by samouraď; 04-29-2012, 06:00 PM.

Bradley has an excellent shot at the upset. Im still shocked they took this fight. How often has Bradley even looked vulnerable? How often has he frustrated his opponent with headbutts?
Roach probably thinks hes just going to rush pac and swing wide punches but i just dont see that. I see him boxing in and out using his excellent right hand.
