Pacquioa-Bradley fearless forecast thread

Barring a TD due to accidental headbutt, Pac wins by a D, with at least a KD or a late TKO.

 

This ends in a headbutt.

 

For a technical decision definitely Pac since he's a quick starter and Bradley ain't.

 

I really like Timothy Bradley, but I fear that he hasn't a clue about how to handle someone like the Pacman. Let's start with the basics: Power and Speed. Bradley has never faced anyone with such a combination of power and speed and, frankly, neither has any active welterweight today. The Pacman is in a class with Leonard and Duran, and these guys come along soooooo seldom. So, Bradley is about to see something new and quite frightful and quite different from anyone he's faced before.

Next is punches: Bradley is not even on the same level as Pacman. All of Bradleys hard shots are looping lefts and rights that will not keep Pacquiao from coming up the middle and blasting him. These looping punches may be effective against a Cassamayor or Peterson, but they won't faze the Pacman - Pacquao will know how to defend against them. Then...there's Bradley's Jab: there really isn't much of one to speak of compared to Pacquiao. There is no way Bradley will open a hole or keep the Pacman off of him with his relatively weak jab.

Last is Bradley's Defense - it's unremarkable at best and will never stad up to Pac's pinpoint shots and combinations.

Pacman by KO.

 

you quoting that dumb comment made by roach saying hatton and bradley are similar.

They have only one thing in common, they come forward, they got a different defense, bradley has much better footwork and uses angles better, hatton will fight you toe to toe. Bradley sets traps and counter punches. Hatton walks straight forward in to punches. Hatton doesn't jab and he is a good KO fighter bradley is the opposite. They are nothing a like. You must not know how bradley or hatton fight. who don't you know is it bradley? or hatton? or both?

all you can say is pac has power and speed bradley has never faced before. You never said skills because pac's are not better than bradley's. If bradley had pac's speed and power this fight would have pac as the underdog.

Pac has seen skills as good as bradley's and when he has, he has not faired so well. First skills can match speed and power, bradley has faced very quick speed before when he fought peterson who was not much slower than khan in there fight. Holt had one punch KO power and is one of the hardest hitters i the sport, bradley took his best punches and got up and out boxed him and battled with him. Bradley did exactly what a champion does in the event that you get knocked down in a fight. He has proved he can handle speed and he can handle power and not he gets a chance to prove he can handle both together.

Bradley never failed a test yet and he has more boxing skills and better footwork than pac and he can do what marquez did and beat pac in the footwork battle and circle around pac and keep him punch output low. Pac is a dart straight forward style of fighter. He's not as good with the angles as his fans think. He's combinations are the same patterns and they end with pac being in the same position at the end of them, they are readable. JMM has got them well figured out and has shown even at his old age with his slow body he can neutralize pac. Even shot mosley did a decent job of it.

Then you speak of pac's defense like it's quality. It's consists of a high guard and head movement. Bradley has a way better defense. He parry's punches. Pac hasn't been throwing out much combinations in his last two fights and that is due to his opponents better footwork now he's facing bradley who has better footwork than mosley and marquez and even pac, how's pac gone a throw a high amount of combo's unless bradley's turns it in to one of those fights and if bradley isn't winning he will adjust and change up the fight. Which is something pac can't do.

Pac's not had a good training camp and from his last performance i don't expect him to look his best.
