THE OFFICIAL Manny Pacquiao vs Tim Bradley II THREAD 4/12 HBO PPV

[Champ_KW]

what am i trippin on is why bradley of all ppl on that 24/7 episode was getting on pac for not stopping rios? bradley, officially, has not stopped any top, great, or good in prime fighter to date

I think that's his camps way of trying to get Manny to become reckless in search of a KO. Judging by what his trainer has been saying about Tim reducing his "10 light punches" to "5 harder punches" for this fight, I assume they want Manny to attack without Tim having to open up as much and bank on timing Manny with single "hard" counter shots. Freddie's ego may get the best of him on this one, cause all Freddie has been talking about is KO'ing Bradley and how Bradley can't hurt Pac. If the moment doesn't get too big for Tim, I wouldn't be shocked if he gave Pac all he can handle. But for some reason, I don't think Tim's ready. He looked outta place in the first fight and I think he'll look the same in this one. The lights may be too bright for Tim.

I don't think the lights are too bright for him or anything, I simply think Pac is considerably the better boxer.

Yea, Tim will be ready. And the greatest thing about this fight is that it pits two top 5 pd-4-pd'ers against each other in a high stakes battle. And Tim has already stated he aint losing his 0 via decision-he's going out on his shield. And Pac always leaves it all in the ring. Great fight.

I still think Tim will fight more conservatively than he talks, but this is a great quote:

He will get absolutely no compassion from me. In that ring it is all about my family eating or his family eating.
Manny Pacquiao will have to knock me out to stop my family from eating.

Why is it that Timmah is always talking about how Manny is going to have to KO him in order to win but he never says he is going to KO Manny? In that empty gigantic cavern of a dome he really thinks that his winning by decision is cool but it doesn't apply to his opponent.
This clinically dull mofo is going to try and do the same boring ass game plan he used on JMM.

 

[Master Teacher]

bradley looking hungrier and more focused than pac for this one

Hola breh I ain't even trying to shyt on you, but you know boxing the sport? AKA Hit and don't get hit stick and move. Bradley isn't a KO artist, however pac was built into one. It could all be mind games between the two--who knows. But as pac as better as a boxer-puncher(minus the jab) Bradley is the better overall boxer

Why is it when someone's favorite fighter is a dull bum the two things that always come up are the "Do you know boxing?" question and this bullshyt about "hit and don't get hit"?
Yes I know boxing. I know boxing well enough to know that Tim Bradley is painful to watch fight. Floyd employs a hit and not get hit style but he does it in a way that can be entertaining more times than not. Bradley has been entertaining one time in his entire life and to do so he almost had to die.
But if sitting through 12 rounds of unengaging boring bullshyt is ya thing than do you.
