The misconception - "The improved Bradley"

'And still...'

 

he will fight a smarter fight. thats improvement

 

PAC is going to destroy him.

and after PAC does this people are going to be acting like Manny is the best he is back no.


He is just a much better fighter than Bradley

 

I can't say he improved, because he's never lost a fight to say he had to. I will say he's in a better place then Pac is right now. Now how well will that help him, will be revealed on Saturday night.

 

If he hadn't improved, he would not have baten JMM. Tim was much more reckless just a few years ago.

 

Agree.

As long as he fights behind his jab and utilizes solid footwork to control distance, Bradley could do very well in the rematch. I still firmly believe whoever is successful at controlling distance, will win this fight tomorrow.

 

Agreed. Tim's jab will be key. If Pac can nullify Tim's jab, Pac will win. But if Tim is successful at controlling the distance and pace of the fight with his jab and movement, I favor him.

 

I wouldn't say he's improved so much as he's adapted to the elite level. In other words, he's just a really good fighter who's only recently been fighting really good opponents. There wasn't ever anything to improve besides his power and nobody is saying that's gotten any better.

 

He was reckless as hell even just a few years back. He is much more disciplined now. Or he can be when he needs too. He controls distance much better with his jab. His d has improved also as he's good at rolling with punches. He has improved his countering too. He is a polsihed fighter now.

 

Man everybody knew the only shot JMM had with Tim was power JMM does not do well with fighters he has to come at..Tim took the Floyd buleprint and used it that's all!! Tim is not this big improvement like people play it out to be he's more disciplined now if anything!!

 

Bradley has definitely improved physically and psychologically. The first Pacquiao fight brought him hatred and public disapproval that he was never used to. Even though that could have literally killed him he came back from it strong against Provodnikov and Marquez. Bradley doesn't and won't be as reckless as he used to going in against anyone simply because he tasted real hatred out of the ring and is using it to his advantage. If he loses then he was completely dispatched and beaten, otherwise look for him to be there in Pacquiao's face all damn night without giving up. I have a feeling the rematch will be far more difficult for Pacquiao than the first fight simply because Bradley is coming with everything he has in this one.

 

This. It will be a boxing match. I do not see Bradley being the agressor... I'm actually calling a draw for this one. Draw or 115-113 type fight.

 

Bradley is to going to get koed Pac wants this to bad

 

I'm not really sure about how much Pacquiao wants it. If I had to rate both in terms of actual hunger then I would easily favor Bradley. Pacquiao has been there and done that. As far as a stoppage is concerned, I would be seriously shocked if Pacquiao stops Bradley, a knockdown is very possible but a knockout?, doubt it.
