Damn, I see the look of desire and hunger in Tim's eyes in that face off yesterday, Manny looked very intimidated and nervous. Tim is no bum like shot Margarito, Clottey or shot Mosley. Timmy coming there to win and he will. Tim got the mental strength, belief and the tools to beat Manny. Come June 9 Tim going to shock world.
He sure does... But for the shocking the world part, I don't think Timmy will hit the canvas that hard. :bart
Go watch the intense stare down Bradley gives him, in the final press conference, and you'll see Manny looks intimated, he even has to take a deep breath
I remember people saying Hatton intimidated Pacman prior to their bout. This is nothing new, the question is, with all this intense energy built up in Bradley, will he be able to maintain his gameplan on the night, or will he walk into the slaugther? You don't put relentless pressure on Manny Pacquiao, you put smart pressure, and with nervous energy, Bradley may opt to do the first rather than the latter. I see a relaxed Manny and a very tense Bradley. Just my two cents.
Bradley is definetly confident, I like it. I say if Manny don't get a KO we might be in for a surprise. (Well most of you will)
Mr. Magic, That was a very good post about fear. Thanks for sharing. I think, if more people understood fear, they could also avoid the pitfalls of some other negative emotions associated with it: shame, guilt and hatred - just to name a few. I've seen fear make many men do many a crazy and stupid thing just to prove to themselves that they weren't afraid and somehow worthy of being men. Me...I don't worry about that kindof **** any longer - I admit I have fear and just carry on the smartest way possible. I met the devil once in my life, and I prevailed. I con conquer any kind of fear and prevail. I wish others had similar experiences in their lives, for they would feel much better about being themselves.
Bradley is really really confident. I dont care what people say, i cant see him going into survival mode. If he loses he goes out on his shield. This is a much closer fight that people think IMO. Call me mad but i have bet on Bradley to win. I think he is going to out stamina Pac man in the later rounds and win on sheer workrate as he always does.
Talk is Cheap. Come fight night he will turn into a track & field athlete. Running from Pac. Thats his only chance. If he stands and trades he gets Hatton'd.
