Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley II: who will win?

[champion4ever]

This fight is too close to call and a very tough one to predict. However, I will say this. If Pac can make this bout a battle of attrition by throwing caution to the wind as he did in the Marquez 4 fight, then he stands his best and only chance of winning it.

However, if he chooses to oblige in a tactical boxing match with Bradley and then becomes bored and overconfident with nothing to prove or even becoming lackadaisical and frustrated with Timmy's fighting style as he was previously in their first meeting, then he could very well be on the losing end of this bout.

Bradley's greatest attribute is his defense in his ability to out box his opponents and he is not going to risk engaging and exchanging punches with a much harder puncher than himself in Manny Pacquiao. Tim's intentions are to keep the fight at a safer distance by constantly moving his feet; Thereby Making it more difficult for Pac to land his best power punches against him.

In closing, unless Pac is able to stun Bradley a few times, dropping him at least once or eventually stopping him, then I cannot envision any other scenario of him winning this fight.

Pac will win (again), and even more decisively this time. I think there's a feeling that Tim is coming into this fight with more momentum but in reality, in his last 3 fights, he was beaten by Manny, took a beating and eked out a win against Ruslan, and then fought a smart fight against a fighter who struggles when not counter-punching. In Pac's last 3, he beat Tim (though hardly looked stellar), looked great against JMM but sacrificed his defence in doing so (and paid for it), and boxed well against Rios (which was an important fight simply for the sake of coming back after a huge KO loss).

I expect a lot of the same volume jabbing and movement from Tim but Pac is way better on the front foot than JMM (though isn't great cutting off the ring, admittedly) and we've already seen he's better in the exchanges than Bradley (just listen to Tim describe being caught exchanges with Manny).

Pac will need to bring the right hand into play more (especially to the body), Tim took the left hand away from Pac in the last 4 rounds. Fundamentally, Pac is just the better fighter period and I do expect him to hurt Tim more solidly this time too.

Those are not particularly wide and I don't really care how the judges scored it.

LMAO,so you'll watch a fight then leave before they announce the decision??I mean who cares how the judges had it..Fuccking moron..

[Rome-By-Ko]

Trust me, I know all about him

I have been owning your azz for sometime now..

That poster does, to him the judges scores are bible. Except for Lara PWill, the judges were wrong cause PWill got beat up, almost 1/4 as bad as Timmy vs Prov.

The judges scores is the final decision moron..You me or anybody can feel whatever we want..The judges hired to call the fight tho has the final say on the fight..Those are the rules in place,if you don't like it,do something about it..Until then tho,shut the fucck up with ya whining and crying already..

Bradley is the favorite

[I Love Jesus!]

Bradley can win this one. He's improved and riding high while Pacs on a down swing. plus we dont know how much of a factor the ankle injury was last fight.

I agree.

Manny is hungrier than TB right now. His fire is back and he's pissed about a few things. His taxes not being paid properly, Floyd refusing to fight him, Roidquez refusing to fight him, and the fact that he doesn't think this rematch should be happening anyway. People are STILL doubting his talents and power but the truth is, Manny is the best fighter of his era. He's an ATG because he took risks to be great. He's the only 8 division champion in history, and he's NOT DONE YET! He's going to whoop TB's ass! If anyone is 1-2 in their last three fights, it's TB. Ruslan beat him and Manny beat him. On the other hand, Roidquez brought more to the dance than just shoes, if you know what I mean and Manny beat TB and Rios. So he is 2-1 in his last three fights despite what Floyd ****** self keeps claiming. Matter of fact, the 5th with Roidquez doesn't count in my book. He clearly was on something man. People think it's because he landed the perfect punch. Nope Watch the fight again and you will see that he was actually stronger than Manny and moving him with his shots in exchanges; turning his entire body. Now how is that possible? He ****ing cheated!

Pac's winning this fight no matter what. A trilogy is inevitable. Bob Arum is going to make sure of that.
