Comments Thread For: Roach Will Be Training Pacquiao To Knock Bradley Out

[Southpawology]

He could've had the KO in a couple of his fights since Cotto. He easily could've ended Margarito's night in about 9-10, but he ended up looking to the ref to stop the massacre by the later rounds and even admitted he eased up when he saw how terribly Tony was hurt. Could've taken out Rios but he was cautious after Marquez and maybe wanted the rounds after the long layoff.

Clottey wanted nothing to do with a fight, Mosley was on his bike the whole fight, and Marquez gets hit with bombs, goes down, but is never taken out. Bradley same as Mosley.

Everyone he's fought since the Hatton/Cotto '09 KOs have been guys with world class chins too. Put him in the ring with a Khan or Ortiz and he gets easy, early KOs.

What you say is true but roach just needs to be quiet. Roach has been predicting KO's left and right and all its been doing is jinxing manny he hasnt had a KO in years.

Then they are actually for the distance! I don’t think Pac will go for KO as allegedly intended. Yes, he will be aggressive yet will not force to KO Bradley. Except when Bradley showed sign of being hurt and Pac will go for the kill!

I think PACMAN can do it... i can already see it now if manny gets the KO..

"PACMAN was on roids from 2007-2011.... hopped off, took his two losses, now he's back on it again!! just look at how he KO'd bradley, no ordinary human can pull that off!!! PEDQUIAO OMG!!"

Lets see if roach doesnt jinx it.

He definitely was letting Margarito off the hook, mercifully, because of the damage he saw on his face. He also completely took the gas off the pedal towards the end of the Rios fight, however, that time, I believe it was partially to avoid risk but mostly just a lack of killer instinct.

I don't really have a take as to how this fight will play out. Manny clearly won the first fight. I really do not believe Bradley is better now than he was then, instead I think its simply a case of the boxing public waking up to how good Bradley has always been.

I'll root for a Pac KO, although I can't say that will happen with confidence, or that Pac will necessarily win. Pac looked good in his last fight, active without long breaks, and even though rios is the opposite of bradley, I liked Pac's output. Justin Fortune back with Pac is probably good as well.

Maybe Tim had severely reduced mobility because of his feet last time I don't know. It was almost a total route, that fight. Pac won a lot of undramatic rounds and seemed to be getting penalized for that. Pac has to make sure not to delay the vegas crowd and watch NBA games in his room. That disrespect probably didn't help him.

Maybe its just because I am a big Pac fan, but I have a feeling Bradley gets hunted down and knocked out this time. I wouldn't bet on it, hell, Pac is getting older, Bradley could hurt him or even knock him out, but I think everything is on the table in this fight for Pac and we are going to get an amazing performance, coming off the Rios fight his first one back after the KO, we will see a much improved fighter.

This is a good fight ,but it will end up a draw, for a third fight $$$

I love how people say that Pac was "taking it easy on Bradley". Believe me when fighters are in the ring and they see a chance to ko their opponent-they take it. Pac tried, but couldn't ko a version of Bradley with 2 busted feet.

At best, they need to be looking for a way to just beat him on points-not focus on a ko.

I'm not sure what Pacquiao was doing against Bradley, but he definitely didn't fight for much of each round. He only turned it on for about a minute of each round. Now against Margarito, I'd say he took it easy. Pac got to the point where he could hit him at will after he fractured his orbital bone. Even though he backed off, that injury ultimately ended Margarito's career. All Cotto had to do was re-injure a severely damaged, barely healed eye. That aside, I believe Pacquiao can and will try to KO Bradley.

Roach will be training Pac to knock Bradley out. Yeah, because Roach wasn't training Pac to do this during his fights with Clottey, Marg, Mosley, JMM3, Bradley, JMM4 and Rios.

You mean to tell me that all this time Roach was training Pac NOT to KO his opponents? No wonder he hasn't KO'd anyone since Cotto. All this time I thought it was Pac being too nice. It was Roach all along.

All jokes aside Pac ain't going to KO ****. He's winning a UD by outworking a tough opponent in Bradley.

[lets rumble]

pac should be sponsored by SEALY , apparently the best sleep you can get....

[mathed]

Pac will be extra aggressive and Tim will have a field day countering the crap out of him.
