I wonder if Manny will be using that hook to the body vs Bradley.

Manny hasn't kod anyone at 147. And Tim has an iron heart and chin

[Fetta]

Wouldn't surprise me.

Honestly I have been saying this since the other threads since this fight got signed..

Manny and Tim both have had their chins dented, especially Bradley who probably fought for 10-12 rounds vs ruslan with a concussion.. I didn't like how Bradley reacted the few times jmm was able to land flush shots cleanly on Tim, he seemed to be alittle shaky but jmm wasn't able to land constitently or have the power to really take advantage.. I think if manny can catch him, he can end Bradley early... I don't think it will be a hatton type ko for manny, but I can see him hurting Tim and overwhelming him like he did morales and Barrera
Tim doesn't have the brutal counter punching with power like jmm does, and I don't think he will be able to hurt manny

If Bradley fights the same way against Pac like he did with Marquez he has nothing to worry about. His ring IQ and his foot work will be key in the rematch.

[Reginald Ledoux]

Why is there a misconception that Bradley is 'slick'.

Bradley is average defensively. His ring IQ isn't incredible, and his overall skill level is b b-

Pacquiao fought like a minute of each round last time and still beat Tim.

I like Tim but his 0 is going this time.

If pre-knocked out Pac couldn't knockout one-footed Bradley, China chin Pac won't

If anyone knocks anyone out it will be Bradley doing the knockout of Pac. Just like there is a 0% chance of Floyd knocking out Maidana.

I would have to disagree on several points ....

While Bradley did suffer the effects of some very hard shots, he finished the fight vertical. On the other side Pac, suffered the most brutal KO in his career and was out cold.

The two situations are not debatable in terms of impact. Pac suffered the most damaging effect and his last fight did nothing in the way of determining his current punch resistance. The fight with Rio's was a "Get back on the horse" fight.

Sure the argument can be made that Bradley isn't a big puncher, but after a cold-KO, not much is really needed. So, Pac IMHO cannot be as aggressive as he was with Rios ... And he cannot fight like he's 100% because I don't believe he is.

Based on what I see as relevant points from both sides ... This is a pure toss-up fight -- More so than before. Because Bradley is going to box more than brawl, and Pac is going to be conscience that he is somewhat degraded and may not have the punch resistance he used to have. Which equates to a more subdued attack .... i.e. Not the Pac of old.

that dud ewas so far off the mark with the Hagler comments. Hagler had a vicious right jab, you could argue one of his best punches. And he was a puncher and a half. damn near stopped everyone.
