Comments Thread For: Bradley's Trainer Prefers Pacquiao Fight Over Marquez

[Rome-By-Ko]

I believe Bradley thought it was a close fight,a fight he thought he won..Like I said..When the bell rings,the two guys in the ring,look at both body language..I'm not saying Pac thought he loss either,but he clearly knew it was a close fight..What ever makes people happy,it is what it is..I'll take a guy like Timmy's word for it tho..I believe he knows he won,now he wants cat's like ya self to know it..

well pacman is not the type of fighter that usually jumps up for joy after the fight is over so u cant really base it off his body language.[/QUOTE]

I never said he was..Pac is a guy who looks very confident after the fight,both his first two fights with Marquez Pac looks confident..Even in his loss to Morales he seems to have a confident look on his face..My point is not that Pac thought he loss,just that I believe he just as Bradley knew it was close..I believe both of them thought they won,I said it before and I'll say it again..Imo this was a pick um fight..I know the majority disagrees with me,hey that's life..For me tho,I felt this fight could have went either way..

Yeah well that's a double sided issue because Floyd ain't making what he could against Pacquaio by fighting those guys..so yeah in order to get some you may have to give some. That itself is a harsh reality...one more Guerrero type of fight numbers with $40 million guaranteed is going to have showtime looking real bad.

Of course he'll be making as much - because he doesn't have to pay them as much. That's what you seem to be missing.

Second, do you think for one second that Showtime hasn't forecasted a model that includes the possibility of Mayweather fights doing less than expected, say 800-900k? Every corporation does that. Trust me, they'll be fine.

bradley pac 2 has to happen but think about it no matter who wins they have a story line to make a third fight cause they can say they are tied no matter what thats only thing i hate bout this situation. If bradley wins they can say its 1-1 cause bad decision. If pac wins they can also says its tied 1-1 but it still has to happen. The only other fight id rather see is the obvious mayweather vs pac. I also think bradley has great chance of winning the 2nd fight

Is that why he had his hands raised to the sky??

I've seen fighters that clearly lost all 12rds raise their hands, and even carried around the ring on one of their flunkie's shoulders. So what's your point?

[Rome-By-Ko]

whether bradley win or lose i know pac will come extra prepare for the rematch. if bradley can pull if off in the rematch then props to him but i know it wont be like the first fight. pac will be a lot more busier.

I agree,it might hurt him tho against a fighter like Bradley..Then again,he may start to hurt Bradley and take him out..There are so many possibility in this fight,I'm pump for the rematch..

That if they did all of that,I'm not sure they believe they loss..I think your missing my point,the point is that Bradley believed he won..Not what you believed,what the fighter in the ring believed..Which Bradley clearly felt he won the fight..

Actually, if you watch closely Bradley does not think he won...he looks over at Monica his wife and does the glove thing trying to get her input on it...and when he saw her reaction it was all over his face..when they announced him the winner watch that shhh in slow mo it was like he had escaped death. He started all that talk because honestly what else was he going to say. I think the Mayweather's coming to a consensus that they felt Bradley lost added a ton of fuel to the fire..when the guy you just fought has his biggest nemesis saying he was robbed it might piss you off a bit lol

Actually, he gave Bob the look as if to say "I tried" just before they announced the scores and also look at his surprised expression when they did. Lastly, when HBO asked him if he thought that he won, he replied that he'll take a look. Nope he didn't think that he won. I believe that he thinks that he can win, especially in a rematch. I also believe that he can win legitimately. But as for him thinking that he won right after that fight, no way he did.

Timothy Bradley scored one of the biggest victories of his career this past October when he defeated Juan Manuel Marquez over 12 rounds to retain his WBO Welterweight title as well as his spotless undefeated record. While many saw Bradley clearing winning the fight, Marquez and his trainer Nacho Beristain did not agree with the decision and felt they had been robbed.

In a recent article on BoxingScene, Beristain said the only fight Marquez is interested in is a rematch with Bradley or he’d be ready to retire from the sport. [Click Here To Read More]

Slap in the face to Marquez.

financially and safety wise this is floyds best option

Made it seven pages without one of these. That's gotta be a record.

i honestly think it has a lot to do with him not scoring a ko. in his pass fights roach and everyone expect pac to ko his opponent and when that didnt happen i think he felt like he lost (not the fight) but by not scoring a ko. if u look at bradley's reaction when his name was called u can tell he wasnt expecting it.
