    I find the people picking Bradley the most curious. I can only assume they're basing this on some transmutated impression that Bradley is on Pacquiao's level because he was awarded a rigged win in the last fight. Human perception is a strange thing.

      Dudes need to chill, at least Red Slider is confident in the Pac victory.

        I get what your saying, but alot of time has passed and things have changed abit,,, had this been an immidieate rematch, then yes, your totally correct..

        But take into consideration that manny has been put out cold, and is getting older, and the fact that bradley now has seen manny's speed and felt his power, and that he has more big fight experience than was the case in the first fight.... Alot of unknowns in this fight,, how will manny fight? will either guys chin fail him? Judges? workrate?

          Workrate = Bradley flicking that jab that gets blocked 99% of the time. And Bradley hasn't changed one bit, he got abused by Provodnikov which was worse than the Pac KO because it was a sustained pasting, and outran and out jabbed a 40 year old and now he's supposed to be this top world class threat to Pacquiao?

            Why didn't you mention the comprehensive pummeling Bradley took at the hands of Provodnikov? You know, the one that had him slurring his speech for months?

            This big fight experience you speak of constitutes having narrowly outpointed one of the least mobile, oldest elite level fighters in the sport - and Bradley had to use every ounce of his extremely superior athleticism to do it. How in the world is that a good sign?

            Frankly, I'm not at all moved by the examples you listed.

            We'll see what the reality of the situation is a little later tonight.

              Very good post, interestingly Bradley landed less power punches than Marquez . Bradley's good at making it look like he's doing something when he really ain't doing chit. Like that flicking jab or those blocked pitty pat punches.

                1. Ruslan fight was bradley being an idiot and trying to be exciting in the first round, and he got clocked badly, and then regrouped and pummeled ruslan for the majority of the rounds, while also being concussed, and he barely survived the 12th... In a rematch with ruslan, bradley wont make the same mistake of trying to ko ruslan early and be exciting...

                2. Bradley never had a big fight ppv going into the first fight,,, now that he has the a couple under his belt, the butterflies wont be there....

                3. Manny hasnt fought a top level fighter in a year and a half,, Rios fight didnt really tell us much about how much manny has left....

                4. Age catches up with every fighter, and if manny only fights in spurts, then i can see bradley having a better go at it then he did in the first fight....

                  LMAO! Seriously, man? Is that what he was trying to do? "KO him early," eh?

                    Bradley didn't try to go toe to toe with Prov that's a myth, Prov cut the ring off well and pummelled him knowing he has no power.
