Pacquiao-Bradley Presser

[Kev]

I think he's a real live threat. I must admit I thought Marquez would be an easy night's work for Manny. This is the first fighter that I really thought might beat him.

I don't think an upset is out of the question here.

For me it's a much more interesting fight than Floyd vs Cotto which to me is a routine 12 win for Floyd, or a late ko if Cotto actually fights to win.

Gotta agree with you here Bilbo. I'm really looking forward to this fight. I think Bradley's movement can be a real pain in the ass for Pacquiao, he has an awkward defensive style with his ducking and head movement. He struggles with JMMs movement akways keeping him off balance so who knows. Pac throws alot of shots and reaches so leaves himself open for the counter if clever ebough. Pac was off balance something terrible in their last fight. Against Bradley for certain he wont be meeting someone who is plodding forward like Margarito, Clottey, Hatton or a dead De La Hoya. Even Cotto boxed well against Manny. It was getting involved that spoilt that for him.

I say Pacquiao takes this via Split decision with Bradley's stock still rising regardless.

Yeah I really think Bradley has the tools to spring the upset. He's in his prime. Never been beat, fights every fight like it's his destiny to win it. He really believes in himself and despite people saying he has no power I think he actually fights with a vicious style. He knows how to fight rough, to use his head, and take advantage of every trick.

It's a really tough fight for Pacquio imo close to a 50/50 fight.

I can't see Manny stopping him, and I think Manny is slowing down. I'll see what the odds are before the fight and well may have a flutter on Bradley to do it.
