Poll- Is Bradley decision a good bet?

[jvsnypes]

Its a great bet. Don't get caught up with what everyone is saying about Bradley not winning a decision. Arum is cashing out. Arum is all about making money, not all about Manny Pacquiao. Arum will never put Manny in the ring with Floyd because of his history with Floyd and Oscar. Bradley IS Arum's new Mayweather that he is going to build up. If you watch 24/7, you can see that he is doing a great job at it. He also knows that Manny is close to retirement. He only has 2 or 3 fights left in him, where Bradley is in his prime.

So here's a question you have to ask yourself. If Manny wins, who's next??? The only fight profitable and that makes since is against Floyd. That's not going to happen. Well, what if he loses against Bradley? That sets up a mega rematch, that could lead to a mega rubbermatch!!! You see where I'm going with this? Its all about the money to Arum. If this fight is close, Bradley will be the winner. Arum knew exactly what he was doing when he signed Bradley last year. He was signing the guy that would take Manny's place. Arum is a business man, so its all about smart business to him. If the judges are going to get paid off, it will be to insure that Bradley gets the win.

No chance, even if bradley puts on a clinic he'll still get robbed on the cards.

the only bet against Pacquio I would go for would be a draw, the odds will be ridiculously high (30-1+) and lets face it the judges aren't giving this fight to Bradley unless he knocks pac down repeatedly (which he won't) but if Bradley dominates Pac they might give it as a draw to set up a rematch and to preserve the Pac-Floyd fight.

I don't think so, no.

If we learned anything from Pac-JMM III it's that Pac can lose clearly and still be handed a W by the judges. I gave Marquez 8 rounds in that fight and they robbed him, I can't see Bradley doing anywhere near as well as JMM.

I agree, well said.

Bradley has been down on the canvass a couple of times already by a fast counter. My money is on if Pac scores a flash knock down he will finish him cause Tim gets up swinging. This fight is also at a higher weight for Tim.

The Pac camp have been looking for a foe that they can KO to bring back Pac's aura. Unless Tim counterpunches the whole fight he is not winning this fight

[Heru]

that's a lot of money to make on a small bet on an undefeated fighter, but i wouldnt make it

bradley is not winning on the scorecards. i'd say the chance of that is far less than the odds you are getting

if they've got a chance to take it away from bradley you bet your ass they will
judges know exactly who pays them. promotors. you want another big fight with top rank? you better play ball.

that means all close rounds go to pacquiao.

is bradley going to whip manny's ass to the degree that they simply cannot rob him? bradley is no puncher. if he gets the best of manny it's not likely to be with huge and eye catching punches and tons of damage.

you dont care about the fans reaction to the fight, which will be called like it's seen. you care about the judges and getting the W, right?

i dont think it's a great fight to bet, even if there is a lot of money to be made by betting a larger, undefeated, and prime fighter

Despite his low KO%, Bradley lands huge, eye catching punches. His main issue is going to be during the rounds when he doesn't.

How is he going to control the fight? He can be the agressor and still not be guaranteed to win the round (the reason his fights' have been so close on the scorecards despite him being the agressor or appearing to have won the round).

Bradley is sounding like he wants to pressure Pacquiao and work on the inside and that's the right gameplan given Pacquiao's holes on the inside, but that's playing with fire (Pacquiao has great tools to prevent having to fight on the inside).

Bradley by decision might be the 2nd or 3rd best prop option (aside from Pacquiao by decision and possibly a draw) because Bradley is going to see all 12. It'll take away from possible earnings, but I'd hedge (bet enough on the 2 other results to make my money back, but bet the bulk on Bradley by decision).

I think bob is cashing in on Pacman. Saturday is the perfect time to route for the other fighter. Especially a fighter as good as Bradley.

Its a great bet. Don't get caught up with what everyone is saying about Bradley not winning a decision. Arum is cashing out. Arum is all about making money, not all about Manny Pacquiao. Arum will never put Manny in the ring with Floyd because of his history with Floyd and Oscar. Bradley IS Arum's new Mayweather that he is going to build up.

I used to think Bradley would never get a decision even if he deserves it but now I'm starting to agree with you guys, they did put a rematch clause in the contract and I think it's the first time, at least the first time they talk about it. It does look like Arum wants to use Pac to build Bradley as his next star, only problem is I think Pac knocks him out and spoils Arum's plans.

[Paclan]

i don't see it happening at all.

Bradley is getting knocked out.

Yeah thats what I was thinking man, i see the fight the
If pac wins by KO I get $320 from a $10 5 fight accumulator
Alvarez - Mosley = Alvarez points or Dec
Mayweather - Cotto = Mayweather points or dec
Froch - Bute = Froch to win
Dawson - Hopkins = Dawson points or dec
And Pac by KO is the final one

So I have the Pac KO covered = I win $320
Put $10 on the draw = $330 (Try protect 'win')
Bradley Decision $300 = will win me $2100........

EITHER WAY im not going to be majorly out off pocket placing $300 down as it is winnings from previous $10 bet...... If Pac KO's Bradley

[Salardo]

First off i just want it to known that i am not a big fan of the way Bradley fights, but in this pacticular fight I give him a good chance,
I personally am going to bet 300 - 500 dollars on Bradley decision @ 7/1 = $2100-$3500........ Good Bet????

Itll be a close fight and I give Bradley a very slight edge
The reason I favour him, is not because I think he is a superior fighter or boxer than Pac - it because I feel Pac has peaked.
-He has looked like **** in his past 2 or 3 fights
-I do not feel this new "spiritual awakening" will stand to him in the ring mentally(I could be wrong) but I feel Pac now - does not have the same hunger and aggression that he once had.
Also the man has so much going on in his life with politics, films, training camp dispute and problems, religion etc.
I think now is the time it all catches up with him.
And Bradley just happens to be the fighter at the right time to capitalise on the end of the great Pacquaio.

Im interested on hearing your opinions on how the fight plays out, and if any1 else is betting real money on the fight

dont bet on this fight. 2 reasons: the first is that Pacquiao might get a gift decision. The 2nd reason is that Bradley is the king of headbutting, and I mean REALLY the king of headbutting. So the fight might be stopped/go to the scorecards (before the 12th round) depending on how the ref calls the headbutts (accidental or not).
So I would never bet on a decision win in a Bradley fight, the dude is just too dirty with his headbutting and opens cuts on his opponents in almost all his fights.
