Comments Thread For: Merchant: Pacquiao Has To Outfight Bradley To Win

[radiotracer]

Freddie roach said that alex ariza was Shady about the shakes he was giving pacquaio!!


Pacquaio is a steroid user!!


suddenly pacuaio is taking random testing and fired ariza!!


hmmm......


how do you turds defend this?

pac has taken the same boxing commission test that others have failed thru the years but never came up positive. That quote from roach is just hatred towards ariza. He owes him for that kick and the mocking of his disability. Now he's trying to discredit ariza

Ummm it took 2 judges for Bradley to win split decision. So your one judge theory fails.

CJ ross called the floyd-canelo fight a draw, i'm sure you didn't like her that night too

[APBrooklyn]

he did exactly that on the first fight.

it was CJ ross who beat pacquiao, not bradley.

merchant doesnt know sht about boxing thats why HBO fired his ass.

Exactly - Pacman already did out work him - some flailing words from Larry. Pac's got to study the tapes to figure out how to not get robbed - maybe aim a bit differently so more of his punches land more "NOTICE-ably". props to bradley though for looking more Champ/p4p worthy in his last couple fights - he's definitely grown on me some...but as a fight fan I'm still not convinced that he's better than Pacman.....man.

Man this fight is gonna be great, there is sooo much at stake for both guys.
If Bradley doesnt break his feet again this is gonna be a ruff n tuff night for Manny
Most important fight in 2014

Something I'd like to see Pacquiao do differently is move to his right to cut off the ring on Bradley. However, the only time I can remember seeing traces of Pacquiao cutting off the ring was his rematch with Barrera. If Pacquiao shows up more motivated this time, he should be able to basically do what he did last time, only more of it. That would easily be enough to win him the fight.

One of the very few times I disagree with Merchant. Bradley did not in any way beat Pac. And Bradley will be getting his back door handed to him in the rematch. Pac knows if he doesn't do that, his career is over. I doubt seriously Manny lets him off the hook.

Don't Worry About Pacquiao; He Won The 1st Fight & Will Beatdown Bradley This Time

Bradley was never in that first fight. That's why there was such an uproar over the decision. It wasn't close, Bradley breaks his ankle backpedaling trying to stay out of Pacquiao's attacks. Pacquiao looked exceptional in that fight, which is why Manny said there was no reason for a rematch because it was more than obvious Pacquiao won the fight going away. Now if you aren't a fan of Pacquiao's you'll say anything to disagree. Manny Pacquiao can't get Floyd to fight, can't get Marquez to extend one rematch after giving him 4 fights, so to prove his one punch hail mary was no fluke; JMM won't fight. SO Manny gets to take back the title that was stolen from him, and he'll make sure this fight is even more convincing than the first.

I smell a rat! A lot of folks are stating that Manny has to do more and I don't get it. Even Freddie Roach said he wanted Provodnikov over Bradley and that Bradley is "difficult" because "he boxes well." I think Manny has to go for the KO. I've said all along that Arum was the roadblock to the megafight. Now it seems Bradley is the new cash cow. If Manny doesn't win he's stuck begging for rematches with Marquez and Bradley. Something just don't smell right!

I wouldn't say Pacquiao looked exceptional. He looked lethargic and unmotivated. He still dominated Bradley, but he didn't show the fire, energy, or skill he'd show in his next fight.
