I have only seen Bradley on YouTube and he looks a decent fighter but is he good enough to beat manny??
My bet is many 1-12 any method

Bradley does everything well , but nothing great , i see a good fight with Manny winning handily , ud or by late stoppage , dont rule out a clash of heads and a premature stoppage .
Is Bradley like a bull coming in head first?
Interesting
What do you think of a Bradley win due to pacquio unable to continue
Good odds for tham sure
I'm picking pacquiao to win by a close UD, bradley is up for this and is brimming with confidence. I think he has enough boxing ability to test pacquiao and it will be interesting to see if he can compete with pacquiao in the centre of the ring. If he can then this is where he will win rounds and that's why I think it will be close. But manny is an elite fighter and just think he's got the tools to beat Bradley, but he will when to use his speed advantage, this is what this difference will have to be in the fight if manny is going to win
I see Tim Bradley Sr. waving his towel. 10th round corner stoppage.
Yeah I can see a premature stoppage via headbutt meaning they have to do it again in 6 months further delaying the Floyd fight which will suit everyone involved.Quote:

Manny Pac by KO , Manny fights better when a guy come straight at him. Saying that in his last 2 fights the spark has been missing. This fight will show everybody where Manny is just now.
Bradley win or lose will come again and will be involved in some massive fights in the coming years , the guy is certainly talented
At first glance on paper and based on past results the smart money would have to be on Manny but there is a certain amount of intrigue and unknowns about this fight with the most obvious being Manny’s distractions. Manny’s camp has suggested that it was marital problems that affected him in the last Marquez fight and I would wager those are still in play regardless of what is being reported. Add to that his new found born again status that had him more worried about prayer meetings then fighting and questioning the very fabric of prize fighting. Then there is the eternal Mayweather saga, Ariza and politics. Will he be 100% mentally fit for the task at hand? Many trainers well say that a fighter’s head space is the most important aspect in a fight and especially at the elite level.Quote:

His timing could be perfect and he himself has got to be all the more motivated when he looks over at the endless drama in the Manny camp.
I still think it’s a 65/35 thing in favour or Manny but I don’t think the outside factors can be ignored. Personally I think this fight given the two styles has a pretty good shot at ending ugly with either a technical decision or no contest being ruled.
Looks like someone fancies a bet.
Manny should win on points, Bradley has been down but always gets up and can adjust in a fight so is good enough to go the distance.
I don't think manny can ko Tim as he is defensively responsible enough. Not to mention because he is a pressure fighter he would not be giving manny space to load on power punches.
Also when manny is being pushed backward he seems very uncomfortable even though he is fleet footed he can't fight as well going backward. Not to mention he has been cut before and Tim has a mean third hand so that's another wrinkle in the fight.
However manny does have power, speed, and he comes off odd angles.
I think the fight is a toss up, too many people predict ko even though manny's last one punch ko was hatton. I believe that is in error. Although its not unlikely that Tim could be caught clean, I think the more likely scenario is a ud decision if you are picking manny to win.
