This is going to be great. I don't know why people aren't excited about this. Bradley's style can be boring and the only reason he is undefeated is he's got a few gifts but he is game. Always comes in ready to fight and in incredible shape. I'm a bit of a Pactard but this fight will not be a blow out. I think Manny will win but I say so with hesitation. Hopefully HBO puts together a good undercard. I may actually pay for this one.
I guess the reason why I find him boring is because of his sloppy punching technique.. Not only is he an arm puncher but it's as if he punches with his hands half way open ..Quote:

I go to Palm Springs often to gamble and hang out at the sports bar alot and nobody knows who he is..
I feel you brother. It seems all boxers are relatively unknown. Manny and Floyd are two of the best athletes in the world (IMO) however they are generally unknown to most people I know. A few people I talked to have heard of Floyd but think he is the heavyweight champ. Boxing has definitely fallen out f favor with the general public. It is a shame as there are some great fighters around right now. It's a shame boxing is so corrupt. Who the he'll wants to bet on boxing in its current state of affair. How many times have we seen the loser win.Quote:

This is good. If I was Manny I would have been beating down the door trying to get back at Bradley. Its a bit of a round a bout..meet, rebeat (officially) the guy who just defeated your arch rival..last seen leaving you in a puddle. Time will come in knowing he now belongs, hopefully with both feet while Manny will need to cut into his own gut and stoke a fire to make a rebound statement. The rematch needed to happen. It sure as shit won't be as boring as the Rios fight, guarentee that.
I found the Rios fight far more entertaining than the first Bradley fight. Less competitive sure, but Rios kept coming forward and Pacquaio put on a show.Quote:

will be a far better fight than the last.
Bradley is going to get a TKO on his feet... or he won't come out after a few rounds... it's gonna be hard to watch the beating he will take!Quote:

Plus he doesn't juice his uninspired fat ass off and come in a middleweight ;D. I'm expecting both to actually do some banging and this will be a decent scrap before its all over.Quote:

Gotta say I'm more excited for this than a Provodnikov fight because I was expecting a repeat of the Rios fight with that one. At least we'll see how much Pacquiao has left with this. Bradley is a dangerous choice of opponent.
Pac is clearly on the slide based on what? Because he got caught, he is now on the slide. Was lennox on the slide when he got caught by Mccall?Quote:

I think this fight will be closer than the first. I wouldn't be surprised to see Manny Bradley 3.
