No way this ends up like that. The Mosley fight was bull****, everyone knew that. This is a great matchup and will be a great fight.
thread starter dont know **** about boxing. bradly will give pacman hell only to lose a controversial ud.
There will be nothing controversial about him losing a wide UD, once he feels the power he'll stick to the outside looking for openings that will rarely appear.
Problem is that game-plan is so much harder to pull off than it looks. You have to be wary, but not jumpy, keeping a low center of gravity; circle while throwing; feinting and setting traps while bobbing and weaving in the pocket; breaking rhythm to become aggressive in spots but not over-commit. Morales had a more aggressive version of this game-plan, but it was fundamentally the same, and it takes more than good fundamentals to pull off. Bradley has a good Ring IQ, speed, and versatility, but I'm not sure he's quite at the level to pull it off like Marquez did.
Mosley gave Pac some style problems..Pac didn't like his movement..I think he blamed a hurt leg after the fight-Pac is always making excuses.
Would be a much better fight if Timmy could punch. Pacq ain't going to respect his power like he did Mosley and Bradley is young,hungry, and thirsty. He comes to win and will make Pacq look bad I'd be surprised if Pacq wins with nothing but ease. Bradley will be able to evade many of those amateurish Pacq punches but the question is what happens when he gets hit. Marquez could lunge in because he could just get back up and Pacq had no chance to ko him ever in their trilogy the same can't be said for Bradley. I rip on Pacq but it does take the best boxers to make him look bad and doing what Morales did and what Marquez always does to Pacq ain't the easiest thing to do. Bradley gets wild and a headbutt or 12 is bound to happen when these bobbleheads square off. Don't know how Bradley responds to Pacq punches/tactics but if Marquez can hurt Pacq maybe Bradley can? Don't know.
Bradley will try and maul Pac and beat him up on the inside. Bradley is a great inside fighter with awesome stamina. He will get the best of Pac on the inside and frustrate him there. Win lose or draw Bradley is going to give Pac hell in this fight, the guy has good all around skills and is being underestimated here.
Bradley is starting to get ridiculously overrated here. He loses wide or gets stopped, and then after all you fickle ****s proceed to call him a bum when he was only a level below in the first place. The only way he stands a chance is if he opens a big cut early and makes it an ugly, scrappy fight. Then maybe he can eek out a decision, provided Pac really is declining.
