I really like Bradley as a man.
Bradley has a granite chin? I think so.

This video is more exposing the technical side of his game at the very highest level. Pacquiao more often than not was faster than him, better upper body movement, better footwork, thus he was able to control the distance better, and more accurate with his shots. I remember being surprised by this at the time, but then boxing is all about levels.
Lets see if he makes some adjustments this time around. He tried to box in the last 4 rounds, but for me he didn't have any authority in his boxing, it was all pity pat stuff, but then it could have been because he had had the fight knocked out of him by that point and was also injured. I want to see if he can replicate a Marquez type of performance where he boxed, but with authority. That will be much harder to achieve against Pacquiao.
Its a good fight, lots of people going with Bradley, but I have to go with Manny on this one. In a strange way it could be closer than the first fight though, I personally had Manny at least 8-4 in the first fight.Comment

Not to ruffle your feathers at all, but only Pac groupies think he landed hard shots over and over on Bradley.. Now Ruslan landing bomb after bomb is a great example of Bradley's chin...Comment

I agree.
I agree with this post 100%. Manny is a vet, he's smarter than casual fans give him credit for, and last time I checked, he is a special fighter who has achieved so much for a reason. There are levels to boxing. If you watched the Mosley fight, Roidquez lll, and the first fight with Bradley, you notice how Manny's desire, balance, and discipline wasn't the same. However, he still seemed to out-skill and outpoint his opponents in all of those fights. In the Rios fight, he showed speed, power, ring-generalship, defensive skills, and most importantly, discipline. When he is on his game, he is almost impossible to beat. In April, he will win and win convincingly. If it's anyone 1-2 in their last three fights, as Floyd claims, it's TB. Manny beat him and Ruslan beat him. He has improved as a fighter but he still makes amateurish mistakes and he isn't the smartest fighter either. Manny is smarter and Manny is better and more skilled. Bradley can throw 100 jabs a round and it still won't help him. Manny WILL land and land often. I think his power will be the deciding factor in the rematch. Bradley will get caught throwing those wide shots he always throws, except Manny will be tighter and more accurate this time.Comment
