Still haven't commited to either pick yet.. leaning towards pacquaio but he looked like he's on the way down against Mosley and Marquez

 

PAC by late TKO/KO

 

Bradley looked intense in the face off.. pacquaio looked like he didn't want to know.. don't know if it'll affect the fight though.. pac never takes face offs serious

 

Pac by points in the judges eyes while many others believe Bradley won. :deal

:yep

Bradley wasn't THAT intense.

 

did I mention Timmeh gets jacked

 

Did I mention that Timmy feels Manny's power and starts to run and HIDE llike a big, fat *****? Mosley, Clottey, Marquez: all of them felt Manny's power and refused to engage - they became BIG FAT PUSSIES!

 

How so?

Its still the very same Pacquiao that beat DLH, Cotto, Hatton, and Margarito.

The only difference is that neither Mosley of Marquez stood still to act as punching bags.
Even late in the fight vs Cotto, Cotto was on the run and Pacquiao looked frustrated trying to find him.

If Bradley gets aggressive to trade, he's going to get devoured.
If he fights diciplined all the way through, he can beat Pacquiao if he goes into it with that mindset.

My question with Bradley is whether he's good enough technically to make adjustments during a round which Pacquiao cannot, and Marquez always did.
If Bradley has half the ring IQ of Marquez, being a young fighter, he can beat Pacquiao.


I question whether Bradley ring IQ is that high. He did'nt look too good in the first few rounds vs a shot Casamayor. Its only ti'll Casamayor started to tire that Bradley's pressure took effect and he started teeing off on Casa. But before then I think Casa was giving him looks that Bradley was unfamiliar with.

Anytime you have a good but unproven champion like Bradley, its hard to judge just how good he is unless he goes up against a truly great fighter as he will come this saturday night.

It does'nt help however that Bradley punching power is well below par.
It could be one of these deals where Pacquiao just has no respect for Bradley's power and just slowly starts to tee off as the fight progresses.

We shall see, but we all do know one thing. To get a decision, Bradley more than clearly has to win his rounds. As the Marquez fights have shown us, if not completely dominate, he's got to be oh so close to having his rounds be dominant in order to bank rounds off of Arum's judges, and even then, there's no guarantee he walks out of that ring with his hands raised. Thats just the fact of the matter!
