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

[Hougigo]

The thing to remember about Provodnikov is that he clearly hits harder than Pacquiao. Pacquiao would have to land a lot of combinations to get Bradley out. I don't see that happening, I see this fight being largely single shots landed by both fighters. Hence why I think it will be a decision.

I'm on a decision win too from either man.

I've heard people say Pac will come with a vengeance and knock Bradley out, but that's not going to happen

Glad this rematch is happening, it gives us a chance to see whether Pacquiao is still elite or whether Bradley can do it decisively this time. Don't see how it can get better than that.

Oh really you mean like Provodnikov walked through you until you got on your backfoot bro. I like Bradley but he's hyping this fight up..he seems to be of the mind that because he survived Provodnikov he can stand there and trade..the difference is when Provodnikov hits it's one brutal punch..this other guy you are fighting if he lands flush expect 2 or 3 more to follow. Pacquaio never truly had one punch power but he'd accumulate a ton of damage rapidly on his opponents. If Bradley stands in the pocket like he did against Provodnikov expect his trainer to lose his mind.

I don't think we'll ever see Timmy standing in the pocket in a fight of this magnitude. If I were Pac, I'd be wore worried about Timmy's versatility than anything else. Timmy amazes me how he's able to fight in different styles at the highest level of the sport. A lotta guy can change up style. But more times than not when they're in with a guy of the same class,they're forced to do what's most comfortable for them.

I expect a much more competitive fight this time around.

Pretty much how I see Timothy Bradley..

Pacman on Pacquiao vs. Marquez IV who has a killer instinct but smart will show up. Mark my word! Timmy is in trouble.

[Augustane]

I wonder if Pacquiao will really try to walk through him, similar to the Marquez IV fight.

[Kilrain]

Not an easy fight for either of them. Bradley talked so much before the first fight about all these adjustments he could make, and how after a couple of rounds he has any fighter "dialled in"'; but let's face it, Manny toyed with him for 9 rounds. If Manny is on his game from the start, and doesn't let up like he did last time, he should win because he's simply the better fighter. But Bradley is smart, he's going to try to execute the Marquez game plan. Depends what Manny has left. He looked pretty great against Rios, very light on his feet and quick.

Question? Is Bradley going to be wheeled into the ring during this rematch as he was carted out?

[pnksntdead]

He lost the first 2 minutes and tried to steal the final minute. If Tim closes the distance and lands punches in the final 10 seconds....it's a wrap.

And still bradley lost majority of those rounds because of his inability to land anything significant. If Tim closes the distance, he's toast. Did you even see the last fight? When timmy stayed close, he got pummeled. He did better keeping away from pac. Shorter shots, hand speed and power are all pac's advantages. Timmy's best bet is to stink the whole fight and move away. Also, count on pac not treating bradley as a sparring partner this time.
