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

[Heavy Heart]

Though both fighters claimed victory neither was satisfied. Destiny may have played a hand in their first battle but it will be survival of the fittest that determines the winner of this exciting rematch.

Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38 KOs), the lone congressional representative from the Sarangani province in the Philippines (he was reelected to a second term, running unopposed last year), is the only fighter to win eight world titles in as many different weight divisions. A three-time Fighter of the Year and the Boxing Writers Association of America's "Fighter of the Decade," Pacquiao's resumé features victories over future Hall of Famers, including Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales, Miguel Cotto, Shane Mosley and Juan Manuel Márquez. From 2008 to 2010, five of his seven victories were world title victories in five different weight classes, from 130 to 154 pounds. No active boxer has sold more live tickets in the U.S. than Pacquiao, who is also credited with over eight million pay-per-view buys. He returns to the ring after a scintillating beatdown of former world champion Brandon Rios

I hope we see Pacquiao with the mentality of the 4th Marquez fight.

If Pac's gonna have that 4th Marquez fight mentality he might KTFO'd out again. Bradley maybe feather fisted but if hes not careful itl be deja vu.

Bradley said he's going to go right at Pac in a rematch. For his sake he better be fooling around.

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.

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.

Can't see that happening. He can push Manny back, but he'll eat way too many shots in the process.

That's simply not happening.

Hell box and slug when he has to.

that's actually what i think he will do. if bradley boxes pac, he will be able to reduce pac's explosiveness but by doing so he won't win a round decisively. and with what happen in their first fight, i won't be surprise if the judges this time will give close rounds to pac. bradley has to do more than box to convince the judges.

a lot of people are saying if you boxes pac, he doesn't look good which is true but it doesn't mean you can steal the round from him. pac still has the edge in handspeed...fighting him from the outside is not a guarantee he wouldn't get to you first.

That's what he said the first time. He told PAC to come break down this wall, he broke his ankle Instead.

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.

He also said toe to toe...lol

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

I expect manny to start fast and win the early rounds again then box like he did with rios. Although, letting bradley set a slower pace and saving energy/punches for the final 3 rounds might be the smarter startegy.

Manny by UD again.
