=== Who is picking Tim Bradley to win against Manny Pacquiao? ===

Bradley has no chance unless pac became shot overnight.

 

Bradley seems to have his head screwed on right and I do not think the occasion will faze him. He has a chance of beating Pac and it is almost a 50/50 for me.

 

You should have another option - Pacquiao knocks out Bradley early, as that Filipino ***** Gander predicted

 

Bradley have got a very big chance and I don't like PAC but hats off for taking this fight

 

I'm putting a little bet on the underdog here. Bradley's fearless, tough as old boots and will mentally enter this fight with the absolute desire to win. Horribly akward as well. A cut or swelling from a headbutt would make the fight insteresting.

 

Fair enough Pugi.

How do you see this fight turning out?

 

Not me.

Maybe interesting in moments, but unless Manny has significantly declined, I think he will win in quite an impressive fashion and his recent degrading from the recent Marquez fight will be almost all but forgotten.

 

Bradley reminds me of Evander Holyfield. He fights hard, doesn't get fazed and will put pressure on Pac. I think Bradley beats Khan all day long. However, Tim does often come forward in straight lines, he's not a puncher at 140, and will be less so at 147. Manny took good shots off Cotto and Margarito, Bradley won't be able to hurt him significantly.

Tim will rise to the occasion and put on the fight of his life, the first half of the fight will be very close. Unfortunately, Manny is at his best against pressure fighters who come forward, try to cut the ring off and outwork him. Bradley does have a good defence, and very good boxing skills, however he's not gonna match Manny for speed and work-rate. I see Manny wearing him down, and stopping him late, around the 10th round. Tim will gain a lot of respect and recognition for his effort, he's a warrior and will keep fighting til the end.

All of this is of course dependent on how good Manny is at this point, if he's as good or close to what he was in 2009-2010, then he'll win this one. If Manny has slipped, Tim will expose it. This will be a fun fight, and Bradley is a live underdog, a position he relishes.

 

i'm having a really hard time trying to predict what will happen. i think bradley will no doubt box well with pacquiao, and i think he will take some punishment but will not get smashed the way some of pac's other opponents did. i'm also skeptical about pac's power recently, so i think bradley will avoid getting knocked out. i think if he manages to fight a disciplined fight he could win a UD in everyone's eyes, just not the judges (i.e., Pac VS JMM 3, they won't give bradley the decision).

BUT, i don't think bradley has the power to make pac respect him, and i certainly don't think bradley could ever KO him. bradley's limited power is going to do little to deter pac from attacking him relentlessly. i think it's going to come down to whether or not bradley can hit and not get hit too often.

 

Im picking Bradley to win this fight.

Pac becoming too soft. The killer instinct is gone.

 

i said it waaay before the fight was ever signed. bradley beats pac.
