Post in here if you are generally confident that Bradley will win the rubber match

[GOT BEEF?]

As much as I admire the Filipino icon, I have my doubts that he'll beat Bradley this time around.

I don't really know what it is exactly. I guess it's more of a "intuition" of sorts. Pacquiao isn't getting any younger or faster, meanwhile Bradley seems to have improved with his new change in scenery. And yeah, I know it was just Rios but I still see slight improvements. Plus the fact that he's actually happy with Teddy, that can make a huge difference in his confidence.

Another thing to consider is the fact that this is Pacquiao's last outing, meanwhile Bradley still has many years left on his contract (or so I believe). And he's already shown that he's willing to essentially remain with Top Rank to the very end of his career. Top Rank and Mr. Arum will no longer benefit from Pacquiao revenue-wise meanwhile Bradley remains hungry and determined for big fights. So if the fight is close, you can bet Bradley will take a split nod.

But I don't really believe a shady win is needed at this point. Bradley is talented and I believe he will pull it off.

I'm not...

Not gonna happen, sorry.

Bradley is an all around good fighter who tends to lose his head, it's difficult to be confident but at the same time I feel that he is suppose to win this fight. I'm picking him to win but no, not all that confident.

Yeah you guys are probably right, I'm just having a difficult time separating my repressed sexual desire for Bradley from his boxing ability.

Come on dude, we've seen Manny/Bradley twice. each time Manny has won 8 rounds. Why would this time be any different?

I think at this point Bradley is just a bit better than Pac due to Pac's regression.

I mean it's not a shocker if a guy who is 37 loses to a guy with some skill and is still in his prime.

I don't think Bradley can hurt Pac so it'll be nice to see that Pac will retire in relatively safe form and won't be on the receiving end of a brutal beatdown like so many washed up fighters endure.

Lets not act like Tim Bradley is some spring chicken who hasn't taken a lot of punishment in his career.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Bradley is way over the hill and hes most likely getting stopped.

That Rios fight was a blessing and a curse cause Rios came in drained as hell and made Bradley look great and that got Bradley this fight but this fight is only gonna put Bradley life in jeopardy. #MEDRICKTAYLORBOUND

Pacquiao doesn't have the power that Chavez did when he fought Taylor.

Fighters dont stay the same forever. Out of the 2, Manny is the one thats been in more war. Maybe this is why his team avoided the other names that was in the mix. No excuses here, but this will be the closest fight out of the first 2.
