Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley: Over 115 Rounds of Sparring For Pacquiao

[indystress]

although it was a unanimous win for bradley, bradley couldnt do squat to welterweight abregu and looked unimpressive...what makes him or pac haters think that bradley will do better against pac than he did against abregu?

[indystress]

On a side note where is Clottey he seems to be missing since that Pacduckiao fight tells you a lot right there. These IDIOTS on get on Bi@tch when you are talking about their one and only God Pacduckiao. ALL HAIL PACDUCKIAO BIGGEST DUCK ON THA PLANET!!!!

what happened to delahoya and hatton as well? fraud fans still amaze me no matter what

[Rome-By-Ko]

numerous sparring partners is fine (although I've heard different than wantiing different looks)

# of rounds isn't

his last sparring should be next week say about 15-20 more rounds

add this week say 30 rounds

that's another 50 rounds in addition to the 115 he says he sparred?

that's way too many it's like a starting pitcher throwing heavy 3 times between starts eventually you will get flat

Interesting,I hope Bradley is not over doing it..But we have to have faith in Diaz to not let Bradley over do it...I don't believe he will tho..I just want 100%Bradley come fight night...

the general theory that seems to make sense to me is

start camp shake off rust get in heavy bag mitt work etc and S&C

mid camp transition to ring where you do bulk of your sparring, mitt work and wrap up with heavy bag speed bag DE bag

end camp very light sparring where strategy is more in play than actual rounds, finalizing moves and game plan, work on getting weight

sounds like he sparred through all three portions

most trainers I know like to have their fighter fresh when they step in and think over sparring nullifies that

let's hope Bradley is the physical marvel he seems to be

Here's what I don't understand, I keep hearing from the PAC haters that this fight might be fixed, arum might have bought Bradley out to make him lose. Now why the phuck would a young and undefeated fighter like Bradley who still have a very bright and promising future why would he take the fall and get his first lost on purpose over just a few mills?? I seriously don't think anyone in Bradley situation would agree to take a lost for that when he could very well make more if he continue to keep winning and he'll still be able to have his perfect record.

I agree. If they think it's fixed, why even follow boxing at all? The Clottey fight was supposed to be fixed but Pacquiao got busted up pretty good. The Mosley fight was supposed to be fixed as well. Both fights hurt Pacquiao's reputation and drawing power. Why would Arum risk his license and spend millions for those results? If Arum payed fighters to lose he would have Pac look great, not boring. An exciting fight ending with a Pacquiao KO win would be the result he would pay for, not a boring fight. No matter how Pacquiao wins the Bradley fight some will say it was fixed, but if Bradley wins then Pacquiao was a bum all the time anyway. Why would Bradley train hard for a fixed fight? Why would Pacquiao train hard for a fixed fight?

All those rounds mean nothing if you cant spar Manny Himself. Like the late Edwin Valero, you just cant train for the Speed and power of someone like Manny. You either get Knocked out or adjust. CounterPunching is important as well defense but Bradleys chin will determine the fight.

And how many of them duplicated what Manny does?

clearly u dont understand what im saying or u choose not too. i hear what your saying and my response is if that was a fixed fight why would they make clottey last all 12rds with no damage and very lil action? maybe we have different view of what a fixed fight should look like? to me personally a fixed fight is to make the champion look good and to make him run thru his opponent fast. now clottey last all 12rds with pac, no KD, no KO, very lil damage was done to clottey.

now how was this a fixed fight when pac didnt gain anything from it? after watching pac vs clottey did u sit there and say damm that guy pacman is an animal, im gonna be watching all his fights from now on? or did u say damm what a boring fight? LOL! u havent answer my question, u just keep repeating urself saying clottey is no bum. was clottey suppose to beat pac?? let me remind u again, he just lost to cotto before he got in there with pac.

Well said. Why the hell would Arum pay Clottey or Mosley to fight the way they did and make Pac look ineffective? The whole point of fixing those fights would be to make Pac look great as you said.

I find it interesting that the same guys that are sure as hell Arum bought judges for the Pacquiao vs. Marquez fights don't think Arum paid off judges for the Mayweather vs. Castillo fight that most people thought Castillo won. Arum was Mayweather's promoter, remember. Isn't it possible that the judges honestly thought Pacquiao won the third Marquez fight. I thought he won it and so do at least a third of the boxing fans that watched it. How about the poor scoring of Oscar's fights under Arum? Where is the outrage over that?
