Who wins and how?
I predict Manny struggling a couple of rounds with Bradley's in-fighting, yet in the process Tim gets hit alot eventually getting stopped in 8 rounds via a ref stoppage due to accumulation of punches taken.

I think Bradley will shock everone and if on equal ground would win on points but after Mannys last fight with Marquez I dont see many people beating Manny on points.
I'm tempted to go with Bradley in the upset... he'll be hungry & is coming to win. Bradley will be bringing his A Game!
Add in Pacs outside the ring interferences & his performance vs JMM, and Pacquiao could be ripe for the taking.
I see Bradley having some early success but also getting dropped. I see Pac struggling at times with Bradley's inside game. Pac will continue to land big shots though & I see him eventually getting to Bradley around the 10th
Bradley will put on a great performance and get the better of his opponent but they will give the decision to Manny.
As weve seen in recent fights predicting the winner and predicting who the judges will give it to are two completely different things.

Totally forgot this fight was going to happen. Pac wins by dq, but both eyes will be bloody from headbutts.
That's a pretty good guess Pav. I'm sure Bradley has some kind of game plan and will give a good effort, but ultimately, Pacquiao should take the fight over and win a clear cut UD, winning 8 or 9 of the 12 rounds.Quote:

I see Bradley trying to box and then when he feels he can't damage Manny and gets sparked he'll get into survival mode.
i agree, lack of firepower will be bradleys only shortcoming. otherwise he really has a big chance of beating Pac.Quote:

Manny on points. A lot of us (me included) I think overreact to the pac-tards' massive exaggerations of Manny's greatness by underrating him to some extent. He is a better fighter than Bradley, even if he's slipping a bit.
I don't see Bradley getting stopped though.
Pac is going to punish Bradley, in my opinion. Although I don't really know. Haven't seen Bradley fight.
You act as if JMM was robbed in the third fight against Pac.Quote:

He's not top ten p4p all-time. He's not top 20 p4p. However, he is a special talent. Trainers say they're are only a few special talents in boxing every ten years, I believe Manny is one of them for the past decade.Quote:

Peterson beat Khan, Holt lost to Diaz, but he won big on FNF recently, and he's looked competitive. Alexander just came off of the best win of his career over Maidana. I understand there are other variables, but Bradley has faced some good competition and won. He's no slouch. On the other hand, Pacquiao may have a little too much for him. I wouldn't count Bradley out though.
