    Looks like it's close to being made.

    Anyone looking forward to it?.

    Who you got?.

    I see a lot of people say Pac wasn't great but won easily yet forget that Bradley fought around 11 rounds on two badly injured feet.

    Has Bradley improved?. Had Pacquiao declined even further?.

    Will the fight fall out differently to the first time with Bradley being more aggressive earlier in the fight? or will it follow the same path?.

    Intriguing thing for me is Pac 'won' the first and by quite a margin in most eyes, so his preparation will possibly be the same, or at least harder to adopt a different strategy.

    For Bradley, there is no way his team will watch that fight and think 'We did everything right' so they can adopt a different strategy easier if that makes sense. They have more to go on to counter Pac, than Pac does

    I had the first fight 119-110 in favour of Pacquiao and I'm not buying Bradley's excuses. I expect another win from Pacquiao in this one and hopefully fair juding this time.

    I think he's a top fighter but I agree mate. I also think that Marquez beat Bradley, it was an either way fight but in no way did Bradley dominate it or win clearly.

    Me too! I had Bradley-Marquez a close fight with Marquez just shading it, although a draw would have been a fair result IMO.

    Yeah I can't complain either way but what I found annoying about the HBO commentary is that Marquez clearly got the better in the 12th, in the last 15 seconds he was off balance for a moment Bradley hit him, Marquez stumbled but he clearly wasn't hurt or shaken and Max Kellerman said "you have to score this round for Bradley now" as though he is an authority on boxing.

    Bradley got schooled by Pacquiao. i have little interest in seeing the fight again which is only happening because of one of the worst decisions I've ever seen.

    Yeah i have watched the HBO commentary and it's clearly favoritism. Jim Watt and Nick Halling were the same on Sky t.v as well and i remember Bradley was dancing around the ring doing nothing and Jim Watt was going "Oh i like what Bradley is doing here". It was punch for punch with very little in it, but Marquez landed the more significant punches IMO. It wasn't a boxing masterclass from Bradley as some people made out.

    Determining the outcome of this fight isn't as black and white as most people think. Oh wait it is :!:

    Bradley vs Marquez is one of those fight where I can't believe people had it close, Bradley won very clearly imo.

    Pacman is now not in his prime, but he will still beat Bradley like he did first fight
