Final Prediction: Manny Pacquiao vs. Tim Bradley

you are making a strong case to surpass panzy as the gayest person on fightbeat

 

My only concern is a clash of heads could end the fight.

Bradley is in trouble. Pacquaio's speed could force Bradley not to wait for the counterpunches.

 

BRADLEY should fight OLIVIERA. for ALL the marbLES

 

Well Neil, as long as you keep sucking pro athlete's peenuses for money, your place as the #1 homo on fightbeat is secure, don't worry :bears:

 

I think you're overestimating Pacquiao at this stage of his career, I don't think he is prepared to go all out for a win anymore, and really go to war to get the W.

Bradley is going to bring it non stop, and if he doesn't get KO'd early, it's very possible he'll simply outhustle an unmotivated Pacquiao.

Don't get me wrong, it IS possible he simply has too much firepower for Bradley and you'll win money on that bet, but for me the slightly more likely scenario is Bradley proving a bit too much for this version of Pacquiao, too young, hungry, and determined, and winning a very close decision.

 

This guy basically summarises my thoughts - http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/pacquiao-bradley-is-an-upset-brewing-117886#more-117886

 

pac will destroy bradley. its going to be a long night for tim getting hit with pacs combos isnt on anybody's to do list

 

What if Bradley's chin holds up, and he manages to smother Pacquiao enough to dampen his offense?

 

Worth remembering that Manny hasn't actually KOd anyone at 147.

 

Well, he stopped Cotto, and I do think he has more pop than you do, but yeah, he's not exactly a monster puncher at 147, and surely the extra bulk is going to help Timmy's punch absorbtion.

 

I agree with this, I think Pacquiao definitely hits harder than Hut

 

Yep, I just can't see Hut hitting anywhere near as hard as Pacquiao.

 

The only time I've seen him discombobulate anyone at 147, was the 2nd Cotto KD and only mildly. He's got pop and he's been masterful at landing 'blind' shots from weird angles but he hasn't hurting guys in the way guys with real blunt force do.

 

No doubt, his power clearly doesn't have the effect it did at 126/130, but I still think he has pretty good power at 147.

Don't forget Mosley, he knocked him down and hurt him, and Mosley said he had legit power after the fight.

Plus even bigger guys like Clottey and Plasterito were pretty weary of his shots, even that retard Plasterito was a bit less gung ho in walking Pacquiao down.

 

Yeah, I definitely agree, but it's just a point against the idea of him 'Hattoning' anyone decent at 147.

 

If it holds up he gets tko'd. Manny will put it on Bradley.

 

We pretty much agree then, I can't see him doing that either at 147.

It'll be interesting to see how Bradley reacts to Manny's firepower though, how much is discourages him basically.

 

Margarito, Mosley and Clottey all have great chins. Manny clearly decided not to finish off Antonio in the late rounds and let him survive but he cut him to pieces and Shane and Clottey just tried to survive after the 1st two rounds and Manny's power had a lot to do.

He still hits hard as fuck IMO. He's no Julian Jackson but he has good power.

 

It's a good point. What have you have to ask yourself is who HAVE hurt those 3 fighters more than Manny did? Only Shane with Plasterito, after giving him a vicious beating round after round.

He didn't hurt Marquez once, which was weird, but it was a weird fight anyway, slow paced boxing match, and he never seemed to truly nail him flush.

 

No kidding that little dipshit is getting dumber. He calls me a bigot everyday and calls me Rocco to slur my own ethnicity without a hint of irony. Poor Neil, all that spunk in his oral cavity is affecting his neurons.

 

The thing that makes me think Bradley has a shot is that PAC IMO lost that last fight with Marquez..Bradley is a pretty good counterpuncher, maybe not as schooled or polished as Marquez but possibly busier

 

Bradley isn't as big as the other guys Manny has fought aside from Marquez, and he doesn't have the skills of Marquez.

It's not gonna be a long night for Bradley, it's gonna be a short one. Pac in 6 sounds about right.

 

to slur your own ethnicity ? :atu:

i call you rocco because your skeezer mother named you it.

 

My name isn't Rocco. It is even more Italian than that. No, you just don't understand and think it is bigoted that a person has disdain for snoty rich white males who suck urban c-ocks. It is ok to make digs at Italians in your book, but not black people. I understand, if I had African lovers running a train in my boca, I would defend them too, i GUESS, but I have never and never would have that unique problem.

 

Chin first? He's nowhere near as hittable as you guys are making him out to be. For an aggressive guy he doesn't get hit that much, you lot are making him out to be a face first brawler. He's nothing like that. He's more like a far more aggressive, less neat version of Stevie Johnston.

 

Straight...STRAIGHT right hands down the middle for Bradley that's the ticket.
