Can Bradley KO Pacquiao?

[IMDAZED]

you replied to my post which made no sense. now you claim to have replied to me as in citing another post which you didn't do. wow.

I really don't want to have to spell everything out for you. It's embarrassing. I think you should just read over the conversation instead of trying to "win" it. If you can't find the other post where I refer to an example of how Bradley can score a KO than I can't help you.

I was impressed with both workouts. Manny is hitting with some serious power, you can tell. He wasn't quite putting his all into those punches either. If he cracks Bradley with a clean signature blow...good night. On the other hand, I watched Bradley's workout and those combos he's throwing plus that footwork is the perfect strategy for Manny. You can tell he's had a great camp and will be carrying a good gameplan.

Yeah they both look to be in top form.

I was really impressed with Bradley's foot work and combos. Diaz is a very good trainer IMO

i guess you missed the second sentence of my first post. he's taken accumulative punishment from a lot harder punchers. it would be a rare thing to see a bradley ko.

Yeah he is, man. Those combinations were pretty serious. It's like they have something for every Pacquiao move. I was very impressed. What was also interesting was Diaz's comment that Bradley is now sitting down on his punches and that before he might throw ten punches in succession but now throws five but harder. They want to wear Pacquiao down but can they withstand the firepower that will be coming back their way?

I didn't. It just showed me that you really didn't read my other post. But why are we having this conversation? I said I cited an example of how Bradley could stop Pacquiao in a post that wasn't directed to you. You say I didn't. Cool.

I dont see pac winning this fight , bradley is too determined , has alot more to prove , hes also bigger now then he was for the 1st fight , pac better be on his a game cuz if he aint , he will loose !

This attributes 100% will not help Bradley to win against Pac. Pac has seen it all in his many elite fights. For Bradley to win against Pac needs to box perfectly without any mistake for Pac to capitalize and counter Pac with combination of punches (like Marquez) when coming in.

The question is......can he do it without luring himself into close quarter exchange like one of his bad habit? You see Pac will never make the same mistake like when he free delivered his chin to Marquez monster punch. Pac will try to ko Bradley this time in every minutes in every round. That is the plan to avoid getting robbed again by judges. So Bradley best strategy is like what I stated above.

That is a good question, in the first fight Pac looked to have stunned Bradley multiple times but never really hurt him. And even though Bradley is quick, I still think Pac might be faster still.

For some reason I think Bradley is going to get lured into a war. Although Bradley isn't a punching bag like Rios, when he gets tagged he wants to fight/brawl. I'm really looking forward to this

Bradley can of course KO Pac. If Pac get careless and don't respect Braldey's punches then Bradley could catch him with a quick perfect counter punch right on the chin that Pac never saw coming and the fight could be all over. Bradley isn't the biggest puncher in the world but he hits hard enough to make his opponents respect him. Do I beleive Bradley will score a KO win in a few days? No, but it's silly to assume Bradley isn't capable of KO Pac. Bradley is hungry very motivated and will bring his A-game so he'll be dangeous throughout the entire fight.

Didn't read the thread fully just the first so hope my answer is not super repetitive.

Anything can happen in boxing. You hit somebody in the right spot, in the right situation and anything can happen. The result of Pacquiao-Marquez 4 is a testament to that.

Looking at the first Pacquiao vs. Bradley fight you can see that while Bradley never truly hurts Pacquiao, Pacquiao respects his power.

The problem for people who fight with Bradley (despite Manny winning by a large margin imo) is his workrate, and of course his movement.

To beat Bradley in a way that even the judges can't steal the fight from you without a ko you must:

-Punch Bradley anywhere, his shoulders, his chest, his arms, his stomach. Don't head hunt. Despite what some may think his subtle head movement, and good foot movement range make it very hard to land clean on his head.

-Don't throw every punch with full power since Bradley throws many pitty pat scoring punches. If you set up a big shot with many quick arm punches you have a better chance.

-After attacking successfully pull back(in angles of course) well outside of Bradley's range so he can't counter and score with the judges, also forcing him to extend himself in his counters. Don't stay in the booth for too long.

-Don't press for any whole round. Do a combination of going forward and backward this will upset his game plan. Of course when pressing be aggressive, and attack from all angles.

-Disrupt his rhythm with body movement, and feints like Pacquiao was doing successfully in his fourth fight with Marquez.

-Use his hunger against him. It is like Kellerman said, this is really Bradley's revenge not Pacquiao's. Yes Manny admit that Bradley is more hungry. He has never had the fame you had, and actually is despised by many. By pulling back, and playing counter puncher (you have the speed to do it, unlike Marquez) you will have better chances as his looping punches leave him wide open.
