    I thought it would be easy for me to pick Bradley...but after watching a few of his last fights...the puto gets hit too much and is pretty open to counters when he comes in......I don't know yet....

    I'm honestly not sure, I'm on the fence. I don't like picking against Pacquiao, as he usually does better than I expect him to, but I honestly think Bradley has a great chance of beating this version of Pacquiao.

    I'll pick Pacquiao by controversial decision, in a fight where a lot of people think Bradley deserves the decision.

    Man, I really think it could be right place at the right time for Bradley.... but I still don't think he fights the right way.

    I think he'll look nice early, but it probably won't be long before Pacquiao catches him between his shots with something heavy that hurts Bradley.

    Wildcard: heads. I don't think anyone would be shocked if Pacquiao is cut by a headbutt. How it's called (accidental or not) and how Pacquaio reacts to potential blood could be a major factor in the fight.

    I'm going with the upset special. Bradley by MD.

    I can see him going down at least once. He loops his right hand which is a no no against Pac who throws his left straight down the middle.

    Good fight. Both fighters are open to get hit and love to fight. I have to give it to Manny Pac although Bradley is very LIVE here.

    I like Bradley here, but I suspect he will lose a controversial decision.

    Pacquiao by decision. The Judges don't want to remove the possibility of a May-Pac fight. May be controversial though.

    I almost want Manny to lose, because I'm afraid he's going to fight JMM again and I'm sick of that fight. It will be close, and I don't care to see it.

    As many have pointed out, the time should be correct for Bradley, he is hungry while Manny is losing his passion. Also, he is quick, and fighters who have been able to even nearly match Pac's speed (JMM, Morales) have troubled him most. Also, Manny isn't at his best close, whereas Bradley is. So the surprise is not far-fetched, if it is a surprise at all.

    However, I think the risk here will wake up Manny, and he will be sharper than in his last two outings. And whenever PacMan has been motivated, we have seen great things from him. Bradley has to attack to be effective, and these days, opposite to the image most people carry, Pacquiao is first and foremost a counter puncher. I think he will shred Bradley up.

    Pac TKO9

    Bradley sure is confident, he better be ready to fight his ass off. Nobody he has faced is anywhere near the level of Manny.

    That's pretty clever. :lol:

    If there is a rematch i hope it's not because of controversy. I'm still worried a head butt is going to make a difference in the outcome.
