I didn't start this thread to discredit Timothy Bradley in any way. I truly consider Bradley to be a great boxer and a pretty amazing athlete. Just look at how shredded he looks when he makes weight. Below are just my opinions, along with some educated guessing and a little research.
THE REASONS :
1) The Decision: Let's face it Manny Pacquiao won the last fight. They even got a panel of judges to review the fight aftwerward. They all had it for Manny. Granted judging a fight live is different than reviewing a fight. Either way I had it UD for Manny. Which is why he's the favorite with the oddmakers to win this fight. This time around. NO CJ Ross and NO Duane Ford....
2) Roach's gameplan: Freddie Roach has had time to study Timothy Bradley. He studied him before Manny stepped into the ring with him the first time. Then Roach studied Bradley some more when Ruslan Provodnikov faced him. (which is why Ruslan was able to take him to hell and back) Now I'm pretty sure hes got a sure-fire gameplan for Bradley. Granted this is boxing and ANYTHING is possible. Adjustments can be made by either side. I see Manny clearly outpointing him.
3) The training camp: Manny Pacquiao is no longer jumping around from camp back to the Philippines then back to camp. He is having his entire life and training camp in ONE place: The Philippines. This is where he will be the most focused and concentrated. Also no useless strenght ahd conditioning coaches, Ariza. (Yes I'm saying Ariza is a BUM)
4) "12 round fighter": - I watched an interview with Freddie Roach where he said he wanted Manny to be more of a 12 round fighter. To adjust to his age and moving forward in his career. What does this mean exactly? Well, I see the end of the lunging in, with wide punches, looking for the knockout Manny Pacquiao. Replaced with a more patient and tactical Manny. Just remember, a fighter is the most vulnerable when he is throwing a punch. Especially if that punch is wide and yours is short. Just look at what Luis Collazo did to Victor Ortiz. All while Collazo is NOT known to be a big puncher.
5) The business. Drama sells: Yes. The judging robbery against Pacquiao was dramatic. Yes this rematch looks to prove once and for all who the better boxer is. But! what trumps all this was the way Juan Manuel Marquez knocked out Manny. Marquez already went on record and said he wants the winner of this fight. ALL after going on and on how he never wants to fight Manny ever again?! Right? Marquez Pacquiao V would be a huge fight. A huge fight bring in lots of revenue. Revenue is the name of the game in prizefighting. Prizefighters go after the biggest purses! A Manny win would be the only way this gets set up!
