Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley: Manny Pacquiao Gotta Kill Me To Stop Me!

[radiotracer]

I had the score of 7-5 for Bradley as well. Pacquiao had no answer for the boxing and took long breaks in each round. He was beaten that night and the announcers were clearly drinking the Kool-Aid. I watched the fight with sound turned down and what I saw was a wild swinging,no defense,tiring boxer with only spurts of activity. Pacquiao is going to lose!

with sound turned down? Can you walk and chew gum. Just kidding man.

i expect a great fight between these 2 this time. The 1st fight was a dominant, almost shut out for Pac. Haters can hate all they want. Dont like it? dont talk about it, dont watch it, dont worry about it...

I think what a lot of people are tending to forget is that Timothy Bradley is a very good inside fighter as well. If he can consistently cut off the ring by backing Pacquiao up against the ropes, while smothering his power and limiting his punch output in the process, then he can make this a very interesting fight.

As we all know Manny is a mid range fighter with no inside game, who likes for his opponents to stand and trade toe to toe in order for him to land effective power punches. So if Bradley can get inside and pin Manny along the ropes, then he could possibly pull off the upset; Since Pacquaio wouldn't get the proper extension or leverage on his power punches as usual.

How's Bradley going to cut off the ring and pin Pacquiao against the ropes, when he's going to be running from him?

These buffoons who scored it for Bradley can you name one clean shot that Bradley landed ? I had it 10 rounds to 2 and that's being nice

I would be a multi millionaire if I rented ad space on the back of Mannys trunks prior to the Marquez fight. The whole world saw the face down snoozer! lol

The whole world also saw that Pacquiao was kicking Marquez's ass before he got caught with a perfect counter-punch. This is boxing; **** happens. You either let a loss ruin you, or you move on. Manny's moving on. NEXT!

There are Floyd-worshipers who hate Pacquiao and say silly things like Bradley "outboxed" Pacquiao in the first fight. And there a few idiots who actually think Bradley actually won, including the two judges. So I just have a question:

Since when did "outboxing" mean getting hit more than you hit the person?
Pacquiao landed more than Bradley in almost every round and landed more power shots in every round. I thought boxing was hitting and not getting hit? So going on your bike and getting hit more than you an hit is boxing to Floyd fans I guess.

Pacquiao whiffed on a lot of his punches in the second half of the fight as Bradley figured out his timing to some degree. In addition, he was countering Manny to the body effectively which seems to get overlooked. Very close fight in my eyes, either a draw or 1 round either way. No robbery as most people say and i don't think i'm an idiot for that.

The thing is Manny is who he is and will not change or improve so Bradley knows what to expect out of the gate now. Bradley has more facets to his game than Manny although both have some strong fundamental flaws. If Bradley boxes smartly and not sprain his ankle/s, i think he wins a clear decision this time around.

Tim's got heart. I expect this to be a great fight.

Be wary of what you ask for Timmy!! Considering his knack for getting into firefights and if he finds himself down half way through the fight he's going to have to bring the fight to Pacquaio. If Bradley goes offensive at all in this fight expect him to get pummeled Margarito style. I think the biggest thing people pulled out of the Holt and Provodnikov fights is that Tim can easily be dragged into a firefight if you two piece him and i'm pretty sure that's what Roach has been focusing on in this camp and with all his KO talk trying to goad this cat into getting ****** and popped. Wouldn't be shocked if it happens too.

What's Bradley really going to do differently this time? Can he really afford to take the chance of trading with Pacquiao? His strategy was a good one last time out, but he struggled to land eye catching shots. And while he will probably land with decent volume again this time, he's unlikely to be sitting down on many of those shots unless he decides to stay in the pocket a bit longer and take risks.

One of Bradley's biggest problems is that he's unlikely to have a crowd behind him. His pitty pat shots will get no reaction at all whereas Pac's wild flurries will bring the crowd to its feet.

LOL at the people who think Bradley fights like a warrior. Yeah he's tough as shi*t, but let's be honest here. Hitman Hearns, and Hagler were warriors. AND LOL AT BRADLEY PINNING PAC AGAINST THE ROPES LOL
