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
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.

Sure Bradley is not a big puncher but a well timed shot is a well timed shot. Anyone can be hurt. Bradley is not the smaller man either. He has fought much of his career over 140 and many times in the 147 area. 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.
