I don't know about Convincingly but I do Favor Bradley in a Rematch because I think he figured something out in the last 3 Rounds
let Pacquiao come to you and COUNTER!

Originally posted by Bogotazo View PostI highly doubt it. Bradley had two game-plans going for him in the first fight; boxing laterally like Marquez, and crowding him on the inside in spots, similar to what Morales did. He seemed too hesitant to come at Manny, who moved out of the way of his smothering quite easily, and was too far out of range to make his lateral movement count for anything. When you circle Manny, you have to lean as if you're going behind him (Marquez does this quite well, and Morales has pointed this out as a missing element many fighters lack when fighting Pacquiao.) Otherwise, you're not in range to throw, and Manny can just step right and get his lead foot on the outside. He neutralized Bradley's angle for the right hand all night, and I don't see him doing much different, especially against a Manny who will be focusing on a knockout win.

Personally I think Bradley can only improve in the rematch. First, no one got whipped in the 1st fight. I felt Pacquiao won, but he did not by any means beat the hell out of Bradley. His shots were just harder, and that is pretty much it. I don't think it was a matter of Pac not being active enough, I think it is because Bradley did not just stand in front of him like 90% of his past opponents did. Neither fighter looked good in the fight. I think Bradley would do better in the rematch because of several reasons. 1- He obviously will have 2 good ankles/feet the next time most likely. 2-He knows Mannys left is all he has to worry about and make sure to move to his left more. 3-He knows he can take Mannys shot now. I was pretty shocked that Bradley took those shots all night, and trust me, Manny was trying to knock him out, those were not pitty pat shots. I think Bradley would make adjustments and be more confident in the next fight. Would he win the rematch? Not sure, but I feel he would legitimately do better. As I said, I felt Pac won sure, but he did not look spectacular at all.
