Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: Bradley's Desire Will Overcome Pacquiao

[Allmenjoi8]

Too bad Freddie Roach doesn't feel as confident in fighting TB as some Pac fans are. He even said "Bradley is too good of a boxer"

If Wars said Pac will destroy TB this thread would look different. Just because a guy does not think the way you want him to think does not mean he hates another fighter. A lot of people are giving TB a real chance at beating Pac, again. Ward is a boxer, I think he has better insight then all of you.

Manny is one of my favorite fighters, but a lot of his fans are some ignorant and racial people. They are strictly Pacquiao fans and not boxing fans and for the most part are always biased.

For those who thought Manny won the 1st fight, I respect that. For those who thought Manny won 10 or 11 of the 12 rounds...find another sport to watch because you are clueless.

This fight will be intense. Manny will have something to prove and knows that another loss will definitely kill the Mayweather fight. His tax issues will be a motivating factor as well. He has to continue to win. Bradley will be hungry as well. The last fight with Manny changed his life forever. He received all types of insults and took it very personal. He will be in the best shape of his life and much more focused.

It will be the fighter that fights his fight that wins. It will be the guy who has the better fight plan and not fight with emotions. Tim can't afford to trade with Manny. He has to use his hand and foot speed. Manny can't afford to get too wild or he will get countered all night. As much as I love Bradley as a fighter, I think he will be too emotional in the fight and trade big shots with Manny. I think he will get rocked and maybe dropped. After that, he will be in survival mode and end up losing a decision. But if he comes in focused on strictly boxing, then he wins another split decision.

Great,post..

Should Danny Garcia and Jeff Mayweather find another sport to follow? They had it 10-2. Its only 1 round off the average ringside score of 9-3

A lot of people said things out of emotions..Ask both right now to watch that fight back..Even if they have Pac winning,it would not be that wide..Actually most who watch it back felt it was a closer fight then their first watch..

I would disagree with Ward. THis fight will be much like the 1st one. The only difference is the judges will score it correctly.

Beautiful post.

ward's obviously biased towards bradley. bradley gave him hell in the amateurs, and they're friendly today.


i'm picking bradley, but it's not because of his desire. his desire was there in the first fight, and all it did was walk him into shots.


i think tim will outbox manny and pick spots to score points. manny is badly faded. that's the only reason i'm picking bradley.

prime manny beats bradley. he was faster, had a better chin, and punched much harder. he's still faster, but he only fights in spots because his legs aren't what they were. his chin is probably still better, but it's been cracked quite recently. manny still hits harder, but he can't fight hard for a full round.


tim on points. i hope i'm wrong.

[JustinFloyd]

This might be true, if Tim's desire is way greater than Pac's desire.

The first fight had some really good exchanges..I thought both fighters did a great job..I know a lot of people did not like this fight..I was not one of them..I thought this fight was good and fun to watch..Rd 8 and 9 were my fav rds..

I think Timmy boxes a bit but I also think he get's rough with Pac..He got rough with Pac in the first fight and it work a bit..Crowd him and punish the body..I like Tim in this fight,his desire,and punch output will win this fight imo..Pac is gonna have to be a dog to beat Bradley..I don't know if he still has that in him,I can't wait to find out tho..Always liked Pac,been following him for yrs,you can never count that guy out..

Pac's best rds in the first fight(imo)were the 4 5 and 6 rds..He kinda was just running in on Bradley not showing respect and catching Bradley with some nice shots..I think this is going to have to be the game plan for Pac..Blitz Bradley and hurt him..I just have a feeling if he does not get Bradley out of there early,he's going to get tired and Bradley will dictate the pace again..

All in all I can not wait for this fight..Should be a good one,may the best man win..

Why Would ANYBODY Think Bradley Wins A Rematch? He Lost The 1st Fight Badly!

Wishful thinking. No chance Bradley wins a rematch.

[GOD-FR33]

Yeah Dunn!

TB is the one who is 1-2 in his last 3 fights, not Manny. He lost to Manny and Ruslan. Manny's fire is back and I guarantee victory right now! TB will get caught while throwing something amateurish and wild. Anyone who throws wide and wild shots against the best straight puncher in the sport, is in trouble. TB STILL has moments of dumbness in the ring. Manny is smarter than him and more experienced in big fights. I cannot wait.
