    he has to get his killer instinct back. the rios fight showed me physically he was about the same fighter... same speed with punches , footwork and creating angles was very good. but he clearly lacked the killer instinct even stating himself he did not want to get reckless

    boxing a guy like rios was easy enough but a guy like bradley who is improving with everyfight and had injured his ankle in the second round of the first fight.. well its not really a safe bet..

    he needs to find the killer instinct he lost.. if he seems to me like he still has not found it in the lead up to pac brad 2 you can be damn sure ill put my money on bradley

    he lost his killer instinct....it wont come back after the marquez fight... he let rios go late in the fight.. I think it would not have been a ko but i am sure pac could of got a stoppaged late in the rios fight.

    A lot of Pacquiao's punches were not landing in the fight. If Pac wants to win he needs to stay active and not try to steal rounds.

    pacquiao has been on a steady decline since the mosley fight. in each outting he has looked less impressive than the previous. make no mistake about it...the rios fight was a long overdue confidence builder for him. problem is...he knows it. he should have stopped rios to make a statement. i don't know for sure that he carried rios...or maybe he just doesn't have that same confidence. whatever the case....bradley is riding high and this fight is going to be a much more convincing performance for him than the first one.

    He already beat him without the need for his killer instinct. He showed his killer instinct in the fifth Marquez fight till he got reckless and paid the price for it. I highly doubt it will return for someone like Bradley. Only two fighters would bring back flashes of his former self in my view and they are Marquez and Mayweather. I can't see why he will show serious desire in there fighting the likes of Rios or Bradley.

    already beat him, old news.


    but brad kinda has his title anyway, after edging out marquez, so its kinda academic if unfair. was Pac I'd do something different, he gains nothing meaningful by beating Brad again.

    Bradley had injured feet and was still too fast for him and he'll embarrass Pac again to a 12 round decision. Bet on Tim and make easy money.

    It's only normal for people to get bored of what they have been doing their entire lives especially when there are other options up for grabs.

    I wouldn't say "ruin". The sport would provide a successful boxer enough fame and money to pursuit another career in life. Remember, this sport isn't exactly easy for someone to keep doing it for a very long time. Eventually a brutal knockout, physical/mental disability or even death are all possible options in the sport.

    For Pac to beat Bradley.....

    he needs to do the same thing he did in the first fight; OR...

    he needs judges with eyes.
