Pacquiao-Bradley done for June 9 at the MGM Grand, LV

If he follows Pacquiao around he'll get torn apart imo. He can't afford to be wreckless. I know that's not what you mean. But he needs to do other things primarily than just trying to rough Pacquaio up or pressing the fight. And he has the ability to do it. I remember Sanchez roughed Pacquaio up and got all dirty in there which Bradley can do with the best of them but that was a long time ago. Apples and oranges maybe.

 

I think this is a good fight, I expect Bradley to make it interesting and to have his moments but I don't see him winning sadly, Pac's due a good performance and I think he win's a close but clear UD.
I will add, this is if Pac's motivated, there's a chance he might overlook Bradley? If he does it could be his undoing?

 

I expect Pacquiao to win, but i wouldn't be suprised if Bradley "Won" but lost on the scorecards. If Bradley get's the better of Pacquiao he's never gonna' get a decision, the 3rd JMM fight proved to beat Pacquiao you've got to KO him because you'll never get the nod.

As for Bradley being knocked down, he did well to get up from the bomb Holt hit him with

 

more than likely, its actually how i see the fight playing out

i cant see bradley having any other success except for when driving pac back, using his lateral movement to get close and then throw some big shots when pac gets to the ropes or when bradley gets close enough to where pacs skills are not as good as they are at range

what else can bradley do here?

 

I personally think Bradley gets beaten up pretty badly.

 

Without the last Pac-JMM fight I would have thought that Pacquiao would pretty much walk a Bradley fight on speed, variety, workrate and accuracy. The JMM fight has shaken my confidence (I thought Pac lost it, although I am a fan of his) but I think that it was a combination of an off night for Pacquiao and JMM sort of having his number. I think that Bradley-Pacquiao is a great fight at this point, these are three great fights being talked about around the same weight, and Maidana - Alexander is off fringe interest around the same area, so it's happy days. I think Pac still beats Bradley, makes him chase and get picked off for a clear but competitive UD - but I'll be slightly more nervous than I would have been prior to the latest Pac-JMM fight.

All leave Khan a little out in the cold.

From the moment Bradley signed to Top Rank, could see this coming a mile off.

From what i've seen of Bradley i do think he's a good fighter, but i cant see how he gets the upperhand over Pac in this fight.

The only way i can see Bradley gaining any momentum is with the usual southpaw-orthodox clash of heads and if Pac gets a cut from it.

My prediction though is another UD for Pac.

 

Bradley always finds a way to win, so this will be a very intriguing fight, I just hope the fight doesn't get spoilt by an unfortunate headbutt, especially with a southpaw being involved and both men being inside fighters. I don't really think Bradley will come forward anyway, though.

 

will be in Vegas for this fight.

 

Were we not told that the reason Pacquiao VS Mayweather wasn't happening was because Pacquiao was due to fight at some huge new arena, and it wouldn't be ready in time for May?
Yet this is at the MGM Grand?

Ah, from an article on BBC:

:?

Great fight, for sure, but by the time Pacquiao VS Mayweather comes about they'll be as old as Balboa in the Rocky XVIIII poster from Airplane II.

The big new venue was for a Mayweather fight.

He isn't fighting Mayweather.

I never thought of it like that. I naively assumed they'd try to shift as many Pacquiao tickets as possible & that they could sell more than 17k for a different opponent.

 

Agreed. Other than, Pac is ducking Marquez

 

Pacman hates negative or counter punching styles, thats why I will always say Mayweather would school him.

Bradley is very come forward lunging, hence the headbutt problem, but he seems to find a way to win even if ugly.

I see going down the Marquez route and make it a chess match.

 

I have every confidence in Tim. He seems a pretty clued up bloke and he will know exactly what he'll have to do to beat Pacquiao. It's all down to executing his gameplan. I'll have a fairly big sum on Bradley points
