Comments Thread For: Bradley: Pacquiao Will Be Easier Second Time Around

[ippo]

Its going be a good close fight.Don't count bradley out,i went against him in the prov,pacquiao,marquez fights.The guy finds a way to win.

[sharpe]

its a tough fight to call this one. I thought it was really close the first time. Bradley's head movement is excellent, he seems hard to tag cleanly and even then he has an iron jaw. He also throws a lot of punches per round, not heavy handed but enough to earn respect, and win rounds. He showed against marquez that he can move in and out effectively.

He's such a good all round fighter. If you box with him he can beat you toe to toe, if you brawl with him he will outbox you. If you try to counter punch him he will land first then won't be there.

It's going to be close again. Pac looked incredible against rios, but I think that was the point. I think pac will be the aggressor and if he lands enough clean shots and backs bradley up he could just about win it on the cards.

I think Bradley will be really up for this though, he just beat the guy that beat pac and if he wins decisively he will be entirely vindicated for that first fight.

What amazes me is how much this PPV will do now, what with the controversy of the first fight and the other fights leading up to this moment. Bob Arum/Top Rank really knows how to take advantage of the situation.

Bradley is forever the optimist and what he meant to say was he cant do any worse than he did in the first fight, losing 10 rounds.

Running and missing punches doesn't win rounds. The difference was Pacquiao landing a few clean shots and Bradley landing even fewer. Pacquiao also landed several not so clean shots because of Bradley's head movement and Bradley again landed fewer on Pacquiao. And the one leg excuse? Bradley's mobility looked fine to me. When I think impaired mobility due to injury, I think Foreman against Cotto, Martinez against Murray. Not Bradley against Pacquiao. Whatever Bradley may have done to neutralize Pacquiao's offense, his own was so ineffective that he was still losing rounds.

Exactly! Bradley only looked to be the busier guy because he kept throwing out his lazy jabs that does nothing. But he's throwing it so it looks like he's doing something. When manny finally does throw he lands the cleaner shots. Take the first round for example, Bradley threw nothing but his jab almost the whole round then the last 10sec or so manny turned it up and landed a few clean shots before the round ended.

Props to Bradley for fighting Pacman again.UD for the new cash cow of Top Rank (Gifted Bradley).I root for Pacman to win on this fight, but i'll bet money for Bradley on Vegas on this one,i hope you know what i mean...$$$

Hoping this PPV does well. Fights between two top welterweight contenders should be regular occurances.

[Nomadic]

Bradley is going into this fight with mad confidence this time, I hope he get his clear decision win this time to put that last win to rest.

i think the best game plan for Bradley is the same way he defeated Marquez. he should box, go in and out, and put on a great defense. it will not be a good sight to people who wants to see blood but a win is still a win.

[straightleft]

i think you have it the other way around. re watch the second half of that fight particualrry the last 4 rounds with bradley winning all 4 on one leg.

Here we go again with one leg excuses and you asking us to watch the fight again? Did you know 5 WBO judges watched the fight again and all agreed Pac kicked his ass in a one sided fashion. LMAO!

You should be the one to watch the fight again without covering your eyes. Pac was kicking Bradley ass even before he broke his ankle. Pac was landing his 6-7 punches combination and split second Bradley broke his ankle while trying to get away from the onslaught. You watch that part again and see for yourself.
