Manny Pacquiao v Adrien Broner - All Access (ITV)

Gone for Broner points and Jack points for 10/1

 

Went for the same thing bro, how much did you stick on it?

 

A massive £2.50, which would bring in £28.50...that’s a house where I’m from mate

 

Can’t see Broner getting points. Think he is capable of and will force the stoppage. I’ve seen a few people on Twitter who backed a Rivas and Browne double this weekend...

 

Yeah, you’re right. If he does beat him it’s much more likely to be a stoppage. It’s a step up for Browne, he might come up trumps yet but I think Jack will do him.

 

Just cashed out on it and re-placed the bet for Broner to stop him and Jack points...12/1.

 

Looking forward to this. Pacquiao is one of my favourite fighters ever - a bonafide ATG.

However, my tin foil antennas are tingling. Didn't Hearn say Mayweather/PAC was getting announced in the ring afterwards? If this is indeed true, then it's very possible Broner has been paid a few million to fall over early. The MayPac rematch is so uninspiring, but if Pac can destroy Broner then that rematch gets significantly bigger.

I hope I'm wrong.

As a sidenote, I'm also high on Badou Jack. I used to think the old "he does nothing great" cliche was harsh on Badou. I can see tonight being tough for him though.

 

Planning of waking up early watching it then having a few more hours sleep. Is it more likely to be 2am or 3am?

 

Probably be even later than that.The whole programme runs from 2am to 530am and so assuming the main event will be the last to be shown that I can see it start as late as 4am.

 

Cheers mate.

 

Anyone know who the broadcast team is for this? I hope it’s not Naz. As much as I loved him as a fighter his OTT analysis is not good for the sport and caters for the “lad banter” market. Would be nice if we got a current articulate Welterweight in the studio like Porter or Thurman but I doubt it. It will be Naz and Duke won’t it...

 

Not before 4am and could even be 5am

 

I have to admit, I Iove Naz as a pundit. Says it how he sees it, which is all I ask for really. Plus he's the coolest guy on the planet.

Massive Naz fan here, one of the boxers who got me to fall in love with the sport, super talented, one of the most exciting fighters to watch, so yes, I'm biased but give me Naz on the telly any day.

 

I love Naz as a fighter but I just don’t like the OTT stuff and I’m also sceptical about his knowledge of today’s boxing. Remember he tipped Bellew to KO Usyk. Just think it was horrific listening to him telling Eubank to retire and then seeing all these casuals and football fans lapping it up on Twitter and IG. I like level headed, educated analysis.

 

I expect Pac to take this, bad style match up for Broner.
