Comments Thread For: Pacquiao vs. Bradley: The Trainers Prediction Roundtable

[SceneSpectator!]

Pac will eventually go down to history.. but not the kind of Bradley will do. The very fact that Bradley lack that KO power is a big thing he will lose! Because if Pac tested and felt he can manage Bradley's power, then he will go for a KO! Only JMM can give complete opposite to Pac, and no other fighter does for years.. not even Morales. And Bradley isn't JMM, and he is not especial with other fighters that Pac easily demolished!

Eddie Mustafa said Pacquiao fought at 154, when did this happen?

That's what I'm saying lmao. In the words of Roger Mayweather, "Ya'll don't know **** 'bout boxing!"

Sparkman0811: (Pacquiao) Bradley is gonna bring the pressure. It might be effective in the beginning, but it will be his downfall. Pacquiao will start catching him coming in, he just needs to take a step back to give him space and then unload. I think Bradley's style is one which makes Pacquiao look good. He likes opponents going toe to toe and Bradley fits that description. He doesn't have to worry about finding his opponent like he did against Mosley. Based on styles, I don't see this fight going past 6 or 7 rounds and I think Bradley's corner stop the fight. It should be a great fight.

I feel like Bradley can win this fight because of his youth, stamina, condition, movement, pressure and skill set. Manny is dominate when his opponents are slower, fight with their hands down and stands right in front of Pac. I want to say Bradley by UD but if it goes 12th then for sure the robbery may go down but if Arum is smart. He will let this one play out because it will hurt Pac more than help him ESPECIALLY after the JMM fight. Pac damage is done by accumulation so if Bradley can take away Pac's speed, make him punch off balance, miss and pay then I could see Bradley taking this fight easy BUT if he thinks he is going to maul over Pac without thinking his way in then Manny is going to punish him and put him out. Pacquiao weakness are technical boxers. Tough fight to call but I'm going to jump out of the window and take all the heat from the Pacquiao fans and say Timothy Bradley UD. I also feel like Pac is on his way out and Bradley is fresh and undefeated so Bob Arum may be making way for the future and having an undefeated fighter in his stable will probably be worth more in the future. Can't wait for the fight!

Pac keeps saying Bradley is going to fight toe-to-toe with him, but honestly I think Bradley is gonna use a LOT of movement (and clinches), and he's also gonna be very technical (atleast in the first 4 rounds). Bradley might even expand on what Mosely was doing, which WAS frustrating Pac - except Bradley will throw more punches (we hope)lol.

In watching the weigh-in yesterday, even though I do believe Bradley definately has the confidence, I thought he did look nervous (I don't think he expected to be nervous but I think it overwhelmed him a bit) and I think the Boo's bothered him a bit (he's not used to that many people, especially Pac type followers). Hopefully he's able to brush it off and go in there and perform in exciting fashion. Even Bradley said himself that he won't know until he get's in there and takes Manny's first punches how he's gonna react. I'm afraid Timmy might envision this fight being easier for him then it really will be... which is why I expect Bradley to end up being more technical then he expected. I hope I'm wrong and that it ends up being a toe-to-toe battle, but honestly I think it's probably gonna end up being a pretty ugly fight, and a whole lot more economical then some people are expecting. I don't really care who wins, as long as it ends up being a fair fight/decision in the end.

Pacquiao won a world title at 154. I'm pretty sure that's what he meant.

Fight stops prematurely due to head clash resulting in a NC. I hope not.

Worst case but likely scenario.

I'm looking forward to a good clean fight with none of the BS we're use to seeing in boxing. If Bradley pulls off the upset, more power to him. If Manny wins as he's expected to, bring on the super fight with Floyd. If not, he needs to go do the religion and political thing.
