Does Bradley have any chance against Pacquiao in a rematch?

[komodo]

Soon as Manny lands a left Bradley will go into survival mode it's just whether Manny can stay interested enough to see the job done.

Timmeh wins convincingly

yeah, just like he did in the last fight with two messed up ankles?

Bradley dominates Pacman in the rematch.

It looked to me like he went into boxing mode and used angles and the jab. Just because Tim doesn't stand there and trade like Margarito did doesn't mean he wasn't boxing. Boxing = hit and don't get hit, not hit and get hit when you don't need to. A bunch of those lefts didn't even land, Tim had his glove placed perfectly on his chin to stop the punch. When I first saw the fight, I thought he was getting hit with those punches too but without HBO and the crowd I could see that many punches didn't really land. When I watched the slow-mo videos, you could clearly see that Tim was blocking the punches at the last second. This made it look like the punches were landing in actual speed but in reality, they didn't.

Come on bro Timmy went into survival mode a few times during the fight. I can't blame Manny for losing interest especially after all that is coming back at him is pitty-patty punches I'm sure Manny's been hit harder by Jinky but whatever.

Didn't you find it strange that in every other Bradley fight soon as he gets hit he stays in the pocket going blow for blow but against Manny he backs up running around the ring? Come on man I know you're a fan but Manny had him beat.

Bradley looked hurt every time Manny landed the left and at one stage looked like he had nothing left. Manny stepped off the gas because I'm sure he felt the fight was in the bag like 90% of people. If there is a rematch I don't think he'll make the same mistake.

HAha, come on man...we all know Jinkee wears the pants in that family. She reminds me of a dominatrix for some reason.

I had Pac winning by a few rounds but taking your foot off the gas is a step in the wrong direction. That's the same mistake JMM made against Pac in the last fight. When you have the reputation that Pac does and you are fighting a guy moving up in weight, who hurts his ankles and who can't really hurt you, you have to close the show, you just have to. It sucks but that is just the way it is because there are certain expectations that come with that status, that's why people watch him.

Not to say that is a reason to not give him a decision but it plays a part. Mayweather uses lots of head movement to avoid punches as well and people rave about it and call it defensive mastery. Pernell Whitaker moved so much in the ring, it was hard to keep track of him at times and he is known as one of the best defense boxers of all time.

I would not expect Tim to stand there and trade with Pac because Pac is a very strong, accurate puncher who throws very fast punches. If you want to call it surviving, I'll acquiesce but he didn't turn into a punching bag and lay on the ropes. He got away and re-established himself with the jab and won the final 4 rounds. If one wants to say he only won those rounds because Pac took a break and thought he had it in the bag, then I'll even acquiesce there as well. With that being said does that look worse for Tim or Pac saying he gave the final 4 rounds away to an injured guy that he was apparently dominating and it cost him the fight?
