Comments Thread For: Roach: I Look Forward To Pacquiao Knocking Bradley Out

[mrpizza-nd_beer]

You're the one that needs to get ready.

Pacquiao's been taking it easy on people in his latest fights when he had them hurt, but Bradley insulted his honor, so I don't think that's going to happen this time.

I think we're going to see the old Pacquiao in this fight, the old Pacquiao in the Barrera and Morales Days.

If you're a Bradley fan you should be worried.

I Think at this point the only one able to bring Mexicutioner Manny back is Floyd. Floyd knows this hence the unprecedented greatest duck in history.

Roach says the same thing every fight about Manny's going to KO somebody. Aint happened in years. Not going to happen now.

Roach needs to stop talking about a KO. Manny won the first fight easily, but the judges robbed him. That doesn't mean Manny has to get a KO in the rematch. Manny went looking for the KO against Marquez and ate a right hand which nearly killed him. Bradley can't beat Manny. Ruslan should've had a KO, and he has NO hand speed. Manny should win easily by UD.

Honestly, Bradley wants Pac to claim to have his killer instinct for two reasons. 1.) He knows Pac's gameplan already, and 2.) Based off their first fight, it looked like Pac didn't do much to Bradley in terms of hurting him(Bradley's face was barely marked at the end). I think Bradley believes he can take an aggressive Pac's power and rather hope to try to capitalize on it with a loaded counter, ala Marquez.
I don't believe Bradley truly has the 1 punch stopping power that Marquez did and the reason his face didn't look so bad in their first fight is because Bradley for the most part was running or on the back foot trying to not engage and not get hit.
Most fighters who taste the Pac combinations or power decide to play on the defensive for the rest of the fight just to survive 12...

I think Bradley is right that Manny has lost his killer instants. Taking it easy on fights that he has hurt. Bradley has got more confidence now as it more experience now. Think its going to be a lot more closer now. Manny ageing an not as focused as he was, I want not be surprised if he lost.
Still going with Manny but don't think he will stop him or a wide margin like the first was to 99% of the people who watched the fight. (not including the 2 judges and Bradley)

I could not have given Bradley more than 3 rounds in the first fight. That me be generous. Don't know where he got 8 round from.

Ok,just like roy jones knew glen johnson couldnt hurt him either right??this is boxing anything could happen,all it takes is the perfect punch on the perfect place(chin)..you got over 9000 post you should already know that....right?

What does post count's have to do with Boxing IQ or knowledge? I was watching fights in the late 50's early 60's as a youngster probably 30+ yrs before you were born, what does my low post count have to do with the many thousands of fights I have enjoyed both on TV and live? Absolutely zero my friend.

**** it. I made my decision on my prediction. After being split since the fight was announced, I'm going with my gut, and this may be a unpopular opinion, but I think Bradley KO's PAC.

I think there's less than a 1% chance of that and would bet every fake cent I got on it. Let me know if you're down for it.

And im looking foward to bradley beating pac decisevely this time around!

Keep on looking then

Pacquiao couldn't be too aggressive against Bradley because when he tried he ended up being countered, and Bradley despite his KO ratio has underrated power.

Bradley is an elite boxer. Pacquiao always has problems against boxers. It's a 50/50 fight imo, and I'm not ruling a KO out of the question. Despite how I praise Bradley, I'm not a big fan of him, I didn't like when he beat Junior Witter.

What boxer has Pac had a problem against exactly? JMM?

JMM is a counter puncher who happens to know just how to fight Pacquiao after 4 meetings.

Stop fooling yourself.

I think the only thing Bradley proved in the first fight is that he couldn't beat Pacquiao, and he wasn't even in top form.

Filipinos are very proud and I noticed Bradley insulted him in the Face-Off and he felt it. You don't just insult us like that and get away with it lol, I think Pacquiao is going in this fight strong. He knows Bradley can't hurt him, so he's going to worry more about landing his shots,and less into worrying about what Bradley's got.

That's just my prediction.

That's a Righteous prediction. Well said. I'm going with that as well.

If Pacquiao doesn't ko/tko Bradley, it's going to be a wipeout on the cards.

You Bradley fans, don't fool yourself into thinking he has the upper hand just because he out-boxed Marquez.

As you saw in the Mayweather fight, JMM can be outboxed by a technical/defensive style and triangle theories don't necessarily work when it comes to combat sports.
