What happens if bradley wins? A decisive win that is. He'll be off to fight Floyd or Amir? Would the manny vs floys be useless even though styles make fights?
Pac - Floyd would be off and worth alot less than it is now, Like Tyson Lewis it would be to little too late, pointless and they would only have themselves to blame for waiting far FAR to long.Quote:

I don't like the fact that Kellerman has to stick the spoon in to make this face off interesting.
Fighters are not interesting so that have to throw the coaches in.
If Bradley win, then it's Floyd vs Bradley billed as
"SOMEBODY 0, GOTTA GO"
Or billed as . . .
"72 HAS TRIED. 1 WILL SUCEED!"
Bradley seems up for this, I am going to enjoy watching this. Manny is going to have to be on top form to win this, you can see Bradleys determination though and I think he is going to push manny to the limits.
Bradley obviously has no fear of Pac. Definitely the toughest fight for Pac to date. This will test Manny's ability or lack thereof in in-fighting. I'm slightly worried.
Good find Tiger,
I respect Bradley, he seems like a good kid, and he has a strong work ethnic and he's determined. I believe however, the difference will be Pac's speed and power, I also don't see Tim being able to hurt Pacquiao, and if he goes toe to toe, he'll get KTFO.
What's that thing Mike Tyson used to say in his heyday? Something like: "Everyone has a plan until they get hit". Bradley is writing checks with his mouth, that his ass can't cash, I don't see this fight going more then about 8 rounds before Pac stops him.
I really like this fight. That piece has to be given extra props for the leary background Diablo soundtrack as well. Bradley really gets little respect over last couple of years while all he does is fight and win. Honest fighter, honest style and one of the most convinced and steadfast I can remember. I think Manny is looking to turn his pride on him and get that inside battle that he'll pull away with. Bradley is no mutt and he has the hand speed, improved boxing and grit style to put Manny on the brink if he's wasting all his time thinking of Mayweather. Good scrap, cannot wait for opening bell!
What a gay. He told bowling ball head Bradley that he was handsome twice. Pac is definitely in the running for the boxing gay of the year prize.
That was awfully boring, not sure why they would even have a face off given the demeanour of both men.I'm looking forward to the fight, but nobody needs to hear anything they have to say really.
Yeah that was utterly pointless.
The eerie music/atmos is silly when there's blatantly zero tension.
Good match-up though.
Yes, it was boring. Too predictable.Quote:

Glad Kellerman called out Pacs lack of prime, quality opponents lately.
Although this still did nothing to get me interested in the fight. Bradley unproven at 147 and his power/speed will diminish further at the weight because he isn't going to put on 7 extra lbs of muscle that's for sure from his last fight. He's dry to the bone at 140 so the extra weight will be non-functional water/fat.
Pac should take this handily if he still has it together.
I don't see size playing much of a role here. Bradley beat Abregu at 147. Abregu hasn't lost since. However, Bradley right now in all likelihood is best at 140, but maybe Pacquiao is too, to be fair. In any event, Pacquiao isn't a big welterweight, really more of a junior welterweight, or in between junior and welter. Power will play a role in that Bradley didn't have power at 140, how will he have power at 147? On the other hand, I believe Bradley will be able to handle Manny's power because he has handled the power of big punchers before. Kendall Holt has a monster left hook, and it literally lifts Bradley off the ground at 4:45 of the video below. Bradley's recuperation powers are second to none. Bradley's footwork and defense are highly underrated + he's a good on the inside. He's undefeated for a reason. Bradley needs to keep Pacquiao out of the middle of the ring. Fight on the inside when he can and smother when Pacquiao starts to unload on the outside. War Desert Storm!

If Pacquiao lands a hook like that on Bradley he will be out cold before he hits the ground. Pacquiao has A LOT more speed and power then Holt. Pacquiao has problems with counter punchers and technical boxers like Marquez and Mayweather. We have seen Pacquiao go against aggressive come forward fighters before. I still think Bradley is not a danger to Pacquiao and he is going to go out just like Ricky Hatton did. Pacquiao by devastating KO.
@Maravilla2012, Bradley is not just a come-forward pressure fighter though. He's a lot more technical than given credit for. Pacquiao has more speed than Holt, but I'm not sure he has more raw power than Holt, although Shane did say that Pacquiao was the hardest puncher he had faced. In any event, Bradley has shown great recuperative abilities in other instances too. Mark my words, Bradley will give a good account of himself.Quote:

The only way I can see a soft punching Tim Bradley damage Manny is if he puts a horseshoe on each hand.
Well, I'm pulling with Bradley in this one. He may not have a lot of power, but he may have enough. He had the power to put Lamont Peterson on the canvas once in their fight and to put Witter down once in their fight.Quote:

I agree. He's an easy opponent. FACT.Quote:

Interesting how everybody in this Face Off is trying to sell this idea that Tim Bradley is such a dangerous opponent that can beat Manny:rolleyes:.
My thoughts exactly - Bradley should have NOTHING for Pac...and if he does, it says more about Pac than it does the opponent.Quote:

To me, bradley looks like he's trying to talk himself into confidence., he's just fronting. He has to box smart, not be a warrior, otherwise he will get knocked out.
On paper I don't see how bradley is to win on paper, but then I've thought that before, he always find a way I think hellmake it at least competitive
I believe Pac will pull it off but i still wonder how Pac will handle the infighting of Bradley. Bradley is not Hatton.
