So Roach said that Bradley will get knocked out like Hatton did. What are your thoughts on that? Me personally, if Bradley is knocked out, I don't think it will be until the later rounds.:bbb
Depends how juiced Pacroid is this time round (Just kidding before i get accused of being a *****) In all seriousness Hatton's tactics against Pacquiao were wreckless to say the least, i doubt Bradley will be so stupid.
The thing is, what are Bradley's tactics going to be anyway? I don't see him sticking on the outside and countering and if he goes on the assault he's liable to get hurt since that could play into Pacquiao's strenths. My only hunch is that he might hope to try and work Manny on the inside since Pacquiao's inside game isn't terrific but even then it's going to be really difficult for him to get to the inside without taking punishment. It'll be interesting to see what Bradley tries from a tactical perspective.
Roach's predictions used to be pretty accurate, but I can't see this happening. I did think Bradley will get bust up, but after seeing the first 24/7...my opinions changed a little. I did realised the guys work ethic. I think this will be a competitive matchup.
I think he will/might get KO'd My only doubts lie in the fact he is clearly going to turn up in the best condition of his life. He has never had problems with his chin @ 147 and he shows determination. Bradley will feel pac's power though. can he handle it for 12 rounds? If so he is better than I currently think he is. This fight will show where Manny is at... I expect nothing less than domination (I may make an exception if headbutts start to factor in)
You make a good point, it's tough to guess what his tactics will be. But, whatever they are, i very much doubt they will be as wreckless as Hatton's. I take no credit away from Pacman for his vicious KO of Ricky however i genuinely do believe had he of been a little less wreckless he could of made more of a contest of it.
I agree that its hard to figure out what his plan will be, but one thing i do think he will try to use a lot of is Body work. I cant see this being anything like the Hatton fight as Tim is pretty sound in the defense department. Its just the lack of power (sometimes not enough power to snap the head back) that will lose him the fight on points. But i honestly dont think Pac is going to look great at all.
I smell upset, Tim is peaking right now Manny slowing down and has lived in the lime light for quite a bit, if Roach and Manny really believe this will be like Hatton, well all I can tell you is this, Ariza stated that Manny will get Marquez out of there in the first four or five rounds. Roach stated that Manny was taking that third fight personal and expected Manny to knock out Marquez. That didnt happen what did happen was Manny got his ass beat so bad that his very own sparring partner had Marquez ahead by 3 rounds by the end of the fight, I mean the boxing lesson was that clear in which Khan forgot he trains at the same gym.
I will be surprised if Manny manages to KO him. Its actually news when Roach DOESN'T predict who his fighters gonna knock out.
Bradley is a completely different animal. If anything happens it'll be late I think. Certainly not like Hatton though...that's a reach.
