    My simple analysis of why I think Bradley is gonna beat Pacquiao.

    I'm actually rooting for both and the fight could go either way. First and foremost Bradley is going to win because he is CONFIDENT. He knows Pacquiao's style and he know's he isn't going to fight any different come fight night.

    The next biggest problem, and probably the biggest reason I'm picking Bradley this fight is because Pacquiao looks off mentally. He doesn't look as confident as previous fights. I think his previous lifestyle has come to bite him in the butt. I think he thrives off his crazy lifestyle, but now that is caused him some marriage problems and he is somewhat forced to turned towards his religion for guidance. He looks awkward and not as confident and I think it's going to play a major role in this fight.

    Freddie Roach also does not come off as confident. The excuses are coming in and he even acknowledges he didn't want this fight.

    From a tactical stand point Bradley will win because he is going to outbox Pac the first few rounds and frustrate him. After he has sealed in a few rounds and then he is going to pressure him and turn it into an ugly Bernard Hopkins type of fight.

    On the other hand if he gets carried away on the inside as he has in other fights Pacquiao will capitalize brutally.

    Whether Bradley wins or loses I would like to see Bradley vs Marquez soon after. I think it would be a great technical fight.

    Bradley is a sloppy hypejob with no technical skill.

    1. Bradley can take a punch.
    2. Bradley is a better defensive fighter than Pacquiao.
    3. At this stage Bradley has better stamina than Pacquiao due to being in his prime.
    4. Bradley is a better in-fighter than Pacquiao who can't fight on the inside at all.
    5. Bradley can fight coming forward or going backwards while Pacquiao can only fight coming forward.

    Everything favors Bradley in terms of analysis. The only thing that favors Pacquiao is explosive speed and power. Speed isn't all that helpful if you don't have enough stamina to throw 1000 punches in a fight (thats the kind of output it would take to beat someone like Bradley), and speed also don't help if you don't land on your target. Power doesn't help if you can't knock your target out.

    So basically I don't think Pac can knock Bradley out. I don't think Bradley is going to go out from one punch nor do I think Pacquiao has that kind of power at this weight. So if it's going 12 it favors Bradley because Bradley will be as fresh in the 12th as he was in the 1st and I think Bradley is mentally tougher as well.

    Pacquiao tends to break down in these situations where a fight isn't going his way or when hes getting backed up, or when he can't hit his moving target, and Pacquiao also tends to punch himself out when frustrated.

    Pacquiao does get tired, I saw it in the Cotto fight. He's getting older.

    If you look at that picture Holt threw the perfect punch on the chin with all his body weight and only managed to knock Bradley down.

    Roy Jones knocked down James Toney but no one thought James Toney had a bad chin. I'm saying that punch would have KO'd most fighters considering the amount of force and the way Holt's legs were planted and where the punch landed. Pacquiao doesn't even throw hooks like that so that punch isn't even something Bradley has to worry about and Pacquiao also does not have one punch KO power while Holt actually does.

    Oh god. This is the best quote ever. I'm saving this.

    Castillo threw five hundred and six punches to beat Mayweather. Pacquiao threw five hundred and seventy eight to beat Marquez. But Bradley is SO ****ING ELITE that you need to throw A THOUSAND PUNCHES to beat him!

    You sir, have gone full ******.

    :patsch

    1000 punches lol..his power has proven a great deterrent for guys to stop fighting and get on their bike like Mosley, Cotto, Clottey. Hatton stupidly decided to keep at what he was doing. We'll see what road Bradley takes when he's under the fire

    I don't think Bradley is gonna try and trade. He has shown many times he can box on the outside as well. If he goes on the inside it will be to hug and wrestle Pac into the corner.
