    I honestly reckon Bradley has a fair chance of causing an upset. The guy does have good technique and Pacquiao must have had his confidence dented from his "loss" to Marquez.

    I think a key aspect here is if Bradley is allowed to lead with his head. If the ref picks up on it (which I think he will given Pac is everybody's favourite), then I reckon it'll be much easier for Pac. However, if the ref fails to warn Bradley and lets him get away with it, I think we'll see a big change in Pac's demeanor as he becomes disheartened by the ref's failure to acknowledge the foul play.

    I'm going with 20-30%.

    Bradley has a bit of a chance , considering Paq may be a bit past his peak.
    Factor in the inevitable accidental on purpose head butt that Manny will suffer.
    But does Bradley have the stones ? If Timmy can't outbox Manny , he'll have to outwork him, force him to move backwards. That'll require some real give and take. Not sure Bradley is up to it, we'll see.

    40%.

    He might've caught Pac at just the right time. He now has a blue print to look at and Pac is clearly past his peak.

    It seems like the boxing world is viewing thsi fight as legit. A lot more so than Floyd/Ortiz.

    10% at most. If he wins he gets robbed but he's not there to win. He's there to make Pac look good after the JMM fiasco.

    It's obvious as night and day that Pac struggles against guys who fight going backwards. I'm sure Timbo will take a close look at the Mosley and JMM fights and implement a game plan. It will be interesting to see.

    30 to 40 percent chances he wins

    60-70 percent chance he is competitive

    20 percent chance he gets nailed early and becomes a deer in the head lights

    my take

    Bradley is the youngest guy manny fought in a while, the primest guy he has fought in a while, and is unbeaten, he is a credible fighter with a solid resume and unified titles

    Bradley has some things that can make him tough, he is young, he is fresh, he is in his prime, he has faster feet than anybody Manny has faced above 130, he has fast hands, the blue print is out there on Manny who is also getting older and seemingly slowing down

    now that said i dont think Bradley can do a Marquez but he has a good record vs southpaws, id be willing to bet Alexander is about as fast as Manny so speed isnt a problem with Bradley, he got off the deck vs a hard puncher like Holt so he has had his chin checked, and i think he is as ready and as good as anybody else

    to me the fight goes 12 competitive rounds Manny wins 8-4 or 9-3 but its not a walk over

    if anybody gets stopped itll be Bradley
