Pacman v Desert Storm

Bradley is in the same mould as Ward and Dawson; all very good fighters but there's no angle with them, no selling point/gimmick, they're not explosive in the ring - just extremely efficient.

If you don't have an explosive style then you need a selling point - all three of the above have neither.

 

I think this is a really good fight, if pacman pulls it off I would rate this as one of his best wins :deal

 

I see Bradley being very competitive but ultimately coming up short on points.

If he becomes to reckless Pac will drop him like a bad habit.

Pac on points 8-4 or 7-5.

 

I'm very excited for this fight. The most important and most evenly matched of the year so far IMO. Two solid Welters, opposing styles. Bradley is the truth, he's gonna' do it :happy

 

Spot on!

I favour pacman but if bradley can survive the first few without being dropped more than once or stopped the pendulum swings to him imo

Key for him is to judge distance and make pacman fall short and nail him with right hand counters, whilst applying educated pressure

 

:bart I guess you don't subscribe to my theory.

Maybe I'm too suspicious of Arum :tong .

 

He'd have to be an actual ****** to see this. As you said Pac absolutely thrives on people coming forward. What he can't deal with in people staying on the back foot throwing counterpunches.

I don't think Bradley's gonna be that stupid to just charge at him after we've seen it fail so many times. I certainly hope not anyway.

This can be a good fight if Bradley's got his gameplan sorted. As others have said it appears Pac's on the decline (a view that I'm tempted to start buying into).

 

Just to think, if Junior Witter had bothered to turn up we probably wouldn't be talking about this

 

I think Bradley will mix his approach up. He'll score in close until it gets too much, kick back a notch, then amp it up again once he gets a sharp right counter off.

I don't see Pacqiuao swarming all over him consistently, and I don't see Manny banging him out. I can envision Bradley doing the cleaner work, it just seems that's the way it's going to go for me.

 

You make a very convincing argument. I suppose it's all going to depend on just how adaptable Bradley can be and how much he can change his style.

 

Bradley's gonna fight centre ring, He's a physically strong man and that low stance is gonna cause Manny problems i can see some sharp looping counters being landed. He's gonna use lateral movement and stay at range and force Manny to come towards him but without heading to ropes he will mainly operate in centre ring with small steps back and across.

He will look to make him fall out of position, counter aggressively which he's good at. Bradley has very smart footwork and ability to fight in different area's of ring and at different ranges and be solid enough to not panic like say Khan does when on inside etc.

Flea's right he will mix it up, he will duke it out on inside he's gonna step in there and dog it out with Pac because he believes he's strong man and Manny's not a fan of bodywork. He's gonna walk through the valley's of hell to win this. June 9th The Dezzy Storm's coming! Bradley time :happy.

I'll leave you with this, No Church in the Wild of Vegas. Bradley knows what he's going into. This is the path he's chosen, Full of Faith. War Bradley.

Nah I just don't think Bradley does anything exceptionally which makes him a lot better than Pacquiao in one area, apart from using his strength to fight on the inside. But as we've already seen, Pacquiao loves fighter's that are willing to come towards him and are not looking for a predominantly back foot strategy.

I see Pacquiao dominating this and winning fairly clearly and I also think a stoppage win is a distinct possibility. Bradley is no Marquez IMO.

 

It's simply about levels for me. Bradley's never looked as sharp or poised as he did against Peterson. Apart from his last fight against the corpse of Casamayor, he looked average vs Alexander and unconvincing against Abregu at Welterweight and like everyone has said he doesn't seem to excel in any area or have the defensive nuance/counter punching ability (from what we've seen of him, maybe he shows us somthing new?) to beat Pacquiao who will come at him all night.
