I sometimes wonder, does the hype over shadow the facts??
Everybody assumes that Pac will reverse his loss to Bradley... Why?, because that will energize the public to demand a Mayweather match...
Bradley is seen as a stepping stone.... I do not see this as being the case.
Tim Bradley is unbeaten... Pac didn't knock him out, neither did the relentless Provodnikov.... That says something about the mans resilience..
I see this fight as a 50/50 battle.. Anybody that thinks Pacquaio will walk through Bradley is living in dreamland...
Who do I think will win... Probably Pac by decision. But I won't be betting on it.
Pacquiao by UD. Last time it appeared to me that he weren't taking Bradley seriously, at the weigh in face off he was laughing at Bradley and didn't look serious. In certain parts of the fight he
Looked like he couldn't be bothered and would just coast his way through. This time I expect him to be serious as ever. He'll definitely want his belt back and set the record straight, I expect the aggressive Manny who fought Marquez in the 4th fight and a Manny who works for the full 3 minutes. Bradley dodged quite a lot of Pacquiao's combos but also struggled to mount any offence of his own and when he did the punches were having virtually no effect of him. It will be interesting to see Bradley with two healthy feet this time.
I just hope this fight doesn't have the Lewis-Holyfield effect, their rematch was much more competitive and Lewis still probably won but it was arguably a lot closer than the scorecards suggested, seemed as if the judges were affected by the controversy in the first fight. Anyway, two wrongs don't make a right ( in this case the two judges who scored it for Bradley) so I hope he is not at an unwritten disadvantage in the minds of the judges.
It's going to be close. While it may seem to many that Pacquaio won their first encounter, he will need to make a more convincing performance to get all 3 judges to agree. This time, Bradley's ankles are not injured and he could very well use them to attack or run away from Pacquiao's punches effectively. I wouldn't discount Bradley's chances yet.
There are 2 possibilities. One is if Timmy chooses to run like the first then its gonna be UD12. We know Manny is not very good in cutting down the ring. But if Bradley comes like what he did against Provo It could end to a devastating KO in the later rounds.
Statistics say Paquaio.
Pac will win, but on a points decision. I don't see a KO or Pac's much vaunted killer's instinct of old coming back.
Pacquaio by TKO RD. 11
watch the 1st match again, you see pacs poor conditioning...
now pac promised to bring back the old pacquiao, revive pacman again, that means his venom in boxing, we saw 5 rounds of it on the jmm4 fight...
I hope he really brings back pacman for this fight...
this fight is a career ender for him
this fight will be a war.. i have to watch this
