Translation: J.M Marquez Breaks Down Pacquiao-Bradley in the Golpe A Golpe Ring

True, but what we learned from the JMM fight is that Pac doesn't HAVE to hit Bradley. All he has to do is throw lots of punches, even if they just hit air. Uncle Bob's judges will score points for Pac anyway.

 

Cheers for that Bogo. Looking forward to this fight I have to say.

You know, initially I was concerned about Bradley being overwhelmed by Pacquiao's speed and aggression but I'm not so sure anymore. I see a lot of people talking about Pacquiao's perceived size advantage.. I think even Roach said it's the first time they're fighting a 'smaller guy'. If he really believes that, it's an oversight, because Bradley's been killing himself to make 140 for quite a while now and I think going back to 147 is gonna suit him. He is not a light-welter. 147 is his natural weight. Bradley plans to come into the ring at around 150 on the night. If he can retain his speed at that weight, it could get very interesting. Got a few KO's at 147 too. People who think Pacquiao isn't going to feel anything Bradley throws might be in for a surprise.

Not going to go as far as to say I'm expecting a Bradley win, but it should be a tough, tough night for Pacquiao.

 

Bradley doesnt have the power or accuracy to do jack **** with Pacquiao...all this elusiveness will just grant him enough time to save him a SERIOUS ass whopping until the ref has seen enough.

Bradley just doesnt have it.

He'll buy a lot of time clinching and headbutting, but the second he wants to swing like the wild black woman he becomes Manny will **** him up.

If it seriously takes you 8 rounds to take out an old as ****, washed up, bloated, out of shape...Casamayor...you dont have power. You simply don't have power.

You need to get Manny's respect. You can't do that without some form of power. If you lack power...it'll be your accuracy that will save you. Marquez is not only an amazing counter puncher. He's a great combination puncher who throws WITH ACCURACY.

Bradley just swings like a high school amateur. Really wide, wreckless, and without any sort of true target.

 

He meant height. Bradley is actually slightly shorter than Pacquiao. Pacman has typically been the smaller dude in the ring against pretty much everyone.

Cotto was 5'7
Marquez was 5'7
Hatton was 5'7
DLH was 5'10
Marg was 5'11
Clottey was 5'9
Shane was 5'8

taller dudes...Bradley is ****in' 5'6
Pac is 5'6 and a half.

That height adjustment makes a big difference when it comes to your accustomed judgement of distance and accuracy.

 

:good People are reading too much into the marquez fight. Pacquiao struggling with Marquez doesnt suddenly put him on Bradley's level. This is a difference of class here . Bradley might have a good gameplan going in but he doesnt have the talent or the skill to outbox Pacquiao for 12 rounds.

And Bradley just has no many obvious holes in his boxing . He winds up and throws wide punches, and as you said he has absolutely no power.

 

Ive got the feeling Bradleys going to walk on to a bomb and fall asleep

 

The way he said it, didn't sound like he meant height. Generally when trainers talk about 'bigger' or 'smaller', they're talking about general size. If they mean taller, they say taller. I doubt Roach would go out of his way to mention a height difference of half an inch as being an advantage to Pacquiao.

 

Bradley has made his gameplan clear. He said that to beat Pac, you have to 'isolate him with your feet'. He also said that all Marquez did was continually step back in their fights. We also see him practicing on moving away from Pac's left while boxing on the outside. He's going to follow the Marquez gameplan, but probably add more body punching and a few of his own moves here and there.

Mosley was also working off the Marquez gameplan, but that didn't help him...Bradley will do better, though. He's young, he's hungry, and he's a solid fighter. Expecting him to get blown away is silly.

 

It will take a lot of cold blood and guts to step laterally and follow a game plan under the heat of such a battle for a guy like Tim.

 

You're a bit dramatic, aren't you?

 

@the bold, that's the problem
i think bradley will be too active and just not make the cut

 

i think he does well for a while, gets caught with a shot(ala kendall holt) and then hes done. he simply fights to survive.

paq, for all intents and purposes, ended the fight against cotto, ssm and margo with one shot. all three known for taking a good shot and wouldve walked through kendall holt.

 

I thought Pac would stop "an aging, faded fighter" in JMM.

JMMstill never been stopped.

Neither has Bradley.

I can see Pac breaking his hands on Bradleys ginormous melon if he aint careful.

If Bradley is to win this fight he must use that melon like a battering ram.Its the best shot he has got.

 

hold on a second guys...clear MD!?!??! hahahaha **** that's classic

 

He never called it an advantage. He just mentioned that they needed to find better sparring partners that fit the height bill and fight similar to Bradley. Which is a bit difficult. Bringing in Ruslan Provodnikov was a great idea. Aggressive, durable, good with feints and head movement...but he's a bit flat footed and not as speedy and "wild" as Bradley. The other guys I've never heard of but are significantly smaller in body size, but they have the height and I think that's what they wanted to shoot for.
