Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Bradley Rematch is Finalized For April 12th

Bradley is going to beat Pacman clearly this time. However I do not know who's gonna actually be awarded the victory.

Bradley fought the most of the last fight on 2 bad wheels. He will do better this time around.

So what? He was getting his ass kicked before the ankles were injured. It's not like he was holding his own and then fought worse after the injuries.

I don't understand why people bring the ankle injuries up like they made a huge difference. Bradley still moved very well the whole fight and had his best success late.

Why do you say that?

[brick wall]

If he boxes Pac he has the chance to lull Pac into a rhythm Bradley can exploit to take rounds. If he goes right at Pac he will eat big shots and will definitely lose.

at some point he has to bring the fight to pac. the dubious decision and the backlash the judges took from the boxing community in their first fight doesn't favor bradley in the rematch. if he boxes pac to a close fight, chances are he's not gonna get the nod from the judges this time.

Exactly. Bradley hurt his own ankles trying to get away from Pacquiaos combinations.

I don't think Bradley expected to be fighting at that fast of a pace or maybe he didn't understand just how quick Pacquiao can be on his feet.

Anyone of these two proven guy's could have been Mayweather next fight and who is Mayweather likely to choose instead ? (Old glass jaw)!
Should be good, although I thought Manny won the first clearly I believe he will leave no doubts this time.

Dont bring that bs in this thread its a great thread so far

the storm by stoppage! Manny is done

[Carpe Diem]

I'm watching the first fight as we speak. I think the problem with Bradley is that he isn't capable of setting up his straight punches against Manny. He was only able to landed a few of them in the late rounds, but a lot of his straight punches came up short.

Heck, even Mosley and Clottey had more success in spurts with their straight punches against Manny did Bradley than did. If Bradley uses a bit more feints instead of the double-jab to set up his shots, he might be able to pull it off.

I think he can use intelligent pressure to walk Manny down, but he has to be very careful about it though. I think he should try to get Manny against the ropes and then set up the straight right hand to body to slow him down a little bit.

WAlk Manny down are you serious or being funny?

First fight pac landed a few shots and Tim was on the retreat so much he burned his feet and ankles up.


10-2 in rounds for pac first fight, now Tim is a concussed x2 in the Russian fight which he should have lost if the knockdowns were actually counted by the ref. he beat an old and slow JMM in an intelligent gameplan.

Noway he beats Pac who peppers him again 10 rounds easily. Maybe 12 to none

Bradley is one of my favorite active fighters but the dude can't stop anybody. Since he moved up to the world level in '08 against Junior Witter, he's had one KO in ten fights. And that was against Casamayor, at 140, in a huge mismatch.

Tim started out 16-0 with 10 KOs. He's now 31-0 with 12 KOs. Against world-class opposition, Bradley stops almost no one. To be fair though, he also loses to almost no one.
