Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: I Picked Bradley Because He's Different, Improved A lot

[sterilizer]

If improving a lot means knocking out an opponent that Manny just couldn't even knock down, because Bradley was lucky that Rios was completely out of shape with zero stamina and conditioning and took a knee and couldn't punch back any more because he just had no oxygen any more, and was just receiving punch after punch (credit to Bradley there, but it was the same as with Manny for Rios, but at least with the latter, his conditioning and stamina were way better), then yes, Bradley has "improved a lot". My prediction is that it will happen the same as in the two previous meetings, and it will be up to the judges to decide if they rob Pacquiao of a legitimate blowout like the 1st fight, or they do the right thing. Because I sincerely don't think Manny is capable of knocking Bradley out.

Manny Pacquiao words in quote " I choose Bradley again because he's different from before, he's improved a lot"

1 I thought Pacquiao had said before that Arum or his team choose Bradley, so is he contradicting himself?

2 Well, beating a no stamina, no heart, no legs, no condition Brandon Rios..... I don't think that's a good measurement stick to see how good a fighter is

3 Garbage fight. won't pay for it.

That's what I wanted to ask too. In an article on this site, Pac clearly said Arum picked Bradley. But who cares, since it is a meaningless fight to begin with.

Ffs, get your stories straight at least.

"Pac can pick who he wants" ,"Bob Arum made the decision", "Crawford turned us down", etc and now "I picked Bradley 'cause he's different now"?

[Cinci Champ]

Please note that Manny said "I picked Bradley..." Many (including myself) were thinking that Arum chose Manny's opponents, but this clearly illustrates otherwise.

manny may have "picked" bradley but he was cornered into it by arum

Arum told him to say that

[Nomadic]

Three things come to mind.

1. He went to the body quite a bit.
2. He had good movement.(legs)
3. His stamina was good throughout the fight.

All three of these seemed to be missing In the second Pacquiao fight.

At the end of the day, as has been previously stated, his level of opposition was Brandon Rios. Time will tell If he has Improved enough to beat Pacquiao.

I fear the results will be the same from the first two previous fights.

You may very well be right. I think the third fight will be close.

[Nomadic]

You may very well be right. I think the third fight will be close.

That is a possibility, I think TB only chance of winning is a KO. I don't think the judges will make another mistake like the first fight.

I will watch the fight, but I refuse to even chip in on watching it.

Pacquiao: I picked Bradley otherwise my owner won't throw me a bone. Arf, Arf!
