Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley - THE numero uno official ESB poll

I am placing a bet on this fight. I am trying to tell you, Bob Arum knows he is going to beat Pacman, that is why he signed him.

 

Gotta laugh at all the guys who continually pick Pacquiao to win by stoppage every time out, as if it's a given.

He's stopped 2 guys at 147. Ancient, past it, weight drained Oscar, and then a very late TKO against Cotto who'd been worn down for 12 rounds.

His speed more than anything stuns guys early but when they adjust, his power usually isn't a major concern. Be very, very surprised if this one doesn't go the whole way.

 

I have Pacquiao winning, but not sure how really.. It really depends on Bradley's game plan and if he tries to get too aggressive.. If he tries to trade and/or slips up and happens to get nailed with a straight left, then I can see it ending early.. For some reason, I think Pac is ready for this one and will look impressive.. I really believe the pylometrics training he does with Ariza puts him in great fighting shape..

Pac by either UD, or TKO9/10

 

Plyometrics my ass. They've been making excuses for his performances since Mosley, and post - Marquez it's been the same. The first episode of 24/7 was like a rundown of every excuse they could think of. Even Jinkee got in on the act. He's not what he was, simple as.

Pacquiao by wide, comfortable UD. 10-2 at best, 8-4 at worst.

Pacquiao 2012 is not as good a fighter as Pacquiao 2009 IMO, he has clearly declined I think (though would be VERY happy to be proved wrong in this fight), but the thing is... Bradley just isn't an elite fighter.

I think Pac's first bad defeat since he was a skinny teenage is not too far away if he continues to decline physically, but Bradley is not good enough to be the man that does it.

Bradley is a great opponent because he is undefeated, superfit, super-determined, and will not go quietly, no way. His conditioning and mental toughness will make this a tough battle, but he just doesn't have the quality to beat Manny Pacquiao, even a 33 year old Pacquiao who doesn't seem to have the same hunger or killer instinct or relentlessness anymore.

Pac will land the vast majority of clean, effective shots, will cause the vast majority of the damage in the fight, and win most rounds quite clearly, but he will not drop or stop Bradley I don't think.

Good fight, clear UD. :bbb

 

So I'm guessing you haven't noticed the difference in his performances in his fights with Hatton, DLH, Cotto and Diaz compared to Mosley, Margarito, and Marquez?

I bet you probably think that Pac never has leg cramps, but Floyd hurts a finger in a fight, and you think he could've KO'd his opponent if it weren't for that bruised finger..

We'll see come June 9.. Pylo's are where it's at.. Why do you think Ariza has been urging Pac bad to get back on it? It's really grueling and it takes a lot of you, but it's damn worth it..

 

quite excited to see a rematch of pacquiao-sanchez here

 

Plyometrics, also known as “plyos” is a type exercise designed to produce fast and powerful movements. It is generally used by athletes to improve performance in sports, especially those that involve speed, quickness and power[1].

 

Bradley at 147 is a smart Cherrypick for either Pac or May.
He has very little power and never faced anything
near pacs offense.
He will get very discouraged early on and end up getting
knocked out cold by a counter shot.

 

7 people voted Bradley knockout! atsch

 

Pac (of Cotto) v Bradley (of Alexander).

Devastating stoppage between rounds 3 and 6.


This will be an indicator of how much, if any, Pac has slipped, and /or whether JMM is just Pac's Ken Norton.

 

Manny catches him between his punches and knocks him out

 

Bradley by points.
