Pacquaio Vs Bradley Fight Predictions from Davao

Boxing officials and local sports media here yesterday predicted 8th world division champion Manny Pacquiao to win over American Timothy Bradley in their title fight on Sunday in Las Vegas.

Laywer Guillermo Iroy Jr., executive director of the Philippine Sports Commission, said that Pacquiao will win by a knockout in the 8th round. The former national football coach and player from Davao said that Pacquiao has regained his strength and speed after he has been religiously reading the Bible and spending more time on religious activities and keeping away from his past vices.

“If he continues to be a changed man, Pacquiao will also beat Floyd Mayweather,” said Iroy, who is currently in Davao City to attend the burial of his 80-year old aunt on Saturday.

Kenneth Improso of the Games and Amusements Board (GAB) in Davao, on the other hand, said that Pacquiao will knockout Bradley in the sixth round.

“Although Bradley is undefeated, his experience in the ring is minimal as compared to that of Pacquiao evidenced by the records of his opponents in the past,” said Improso.

He added: “Bradley’s body built is massive and can easily get heavy which is prone to succumb with Pacquiao’s speed and general ringmanship.  Power is no question. Pacquiao definitely packs more of it as compared to Bradley.”

Boxing promoter-managers Yolly Alfante and Willie Neri also both see a knockout win by Pacquiao.

Alfante, president of the revived Mindanao Professional Boxing Association (Minproba) said the 33-year old congressman from Sarangani Province can stop Bradley in the 5th to 7th rounds.

“Pero di siya dapat mag kumpiyansa kay mas bata pa si Bradley sa iyaha,” said Alfante, who helped sent Pacquiao to his first fight to the United States many years ago.

Neri, also a police officer, said that the fight will not last for more than seven rounds. His cousin Romulo “Amay” Neri Jr., a correspondent of the weekly Mindanao Bulletin newspaper based in General Santos City agrees with him.

“I think Pacquiao will win from the 6 to 7 rounds lang. The number six is the sign of the anti-Christ while the seven is God’s number,” said Neri, elder brother of Pacquiao’s assistant trainer and designated official chef Nonoy.

Boxing manager Tony Dacer, who handles WBO no. 6 contender bantamweight Jessie Albarracin, also “believes Manny will still win this fight.”

But he has no prediction whether by knockout or decision. Dacer also said that “but there is also a possibility of an upset.”

Veteran sportswriter Lito delos Reyes, president of SCOOP Davao, however, predicted a Pacquiao victory from the fifth to the sixth round only.

“I’ve seen Pacquiao trained in Baguio before he left for US. And I was really impressed on how he has recovered from his old fighting form after getting rid of hid old bad habits like sleeping late and gambling. This was also confirmed by his trainer Freddie Rouch in my interview,” said delos Reyes, also the secretary of the Buhay Kamao Foundation.

Mindanao Times sports editor Jon Develos, however, only sees a Pacquiao win by just a decision.

“Feel ko lang. Pero kung my knockout man, siguro sa later rounds,” he said.

Who Will Win? | Pacquiao Vs Bradley Fight Predictions (Updated)

Who will Win the Manny Pacquiao Vs Timothy Bradley Fight. Let's take a look on what these few chosen professional, non-professional boxing analyst and maybe some fortunetellers would have to say or can predict about the upcoming fight.

One of the most explored key terms and phrases online these days, after the formal statement of the Manny Manny pacquiao compared to Jimmy Bradley session, is the “Pacquiao vs Bradley Predictions“. Prediction indicates the act of predicting (as by thinking about the future). Expectation, forecasting, foretelling, prevision and prognostication are terms that have a identical significance to prediction.

Timothy Bradley is young, fast and undefeated, but he's got no shot against the legendary Manny Pacquiao. Bradley's 28-0 record (with one no contest) is certainly impressive, but if you combined the talents of every fighter he's faced, it still wouldn't equal the pure boxing skill that resides in the mind and body of Pacquiao. - Austin Green

ProBoxing-Fans.com team on the other hand, published their predictions on their website. Below are the highlights and predictions that caught our attention.

"Not sure whether it's the unusually high amount of concerning chatter coming from the Pacquiao camp, or, the light in which Timothy Bradley is being presented each week on "24/7," but this fight doesn't feeel as much of a lock for Manny as I had originally thought.  Consider me another casualty of the HBO marketing giant.  I do, however, still believe that Pacquiao will win the fight, despite Bradley's best efforts.  But, this time around I'm not getting the feeling that Manny will enter the ring as the overwhelming psychological favorite.  Bradley does not seem intimidated at all by Manny, and Manny doesn't have the look of a focused and primed warrior.  I'm going to hedge and say that Pacquiao wins this one by split decision, looking better than his win over Marquez, but not quite as dominant as days past." - Frank Ingiosi 

"Manny Pacquaio, even if he may be past his prime, is still the faster and stronger fighter of the two. Manny’s hand speed, in addition to his phenomenal strength in both hands, will prove to be a big problem as Bradley comes forward, head first, with his swinging punches. Yes, Bradley has heart and will fight until he has nothing left, but we remember how easily he tumbled to the canvas in his fight with Kendall Holt and Manny will try to do the same. For Bradley to win, he will need to turn this fight into an ugly one. However, in my opinion, Manny will just be too quick for Bradley to handle and will take the fight within 8 rounds." - Edward Fu 

We also have gathered some comments from around the web stating their visions and predictions of the fight.

Here's one from Anthony Riccobono: 

Expect Bradley to give Pacquiao a good fight. He's never lost, and should be able to last 12 rounds with Pac-Man. Pacquiao showed signs that he might be slipping in his last fight, and Bradley might be able to use his energy to take advantage of that, unlike the older Marquez.
Pacquiao will give Bradley trouble with his quickness, though. He's shown an ability to rebound, even after a slow start. Bradley has a longer reach than his opponent, but Pacquiao's agility and savvy should combat any slight physical limitations.
It will be a good fight that goes the distance, but Pacquiao should come out on top.
Pacquiao OVER Bradley, by a majority decision 

And finally we quote here:

BadLeftHook.com (by Scott Christ quoting Mexican Boxer Juan Manuel Marquez) – “Even though Bradley is a great boxer, and he has skills, he needs the power. He (doesn’t) have that power. Pacquiao has the speed and Pacquiao has the power. The difference in this fight is power. The difference will be the power punches that Pacquiao has.”

He also said there will be attention in how Manny pacquiao provides himself in the band now that he has restored his trust in God."You teach really like thy next door neighbor but here, you impact your next door neighbor. However, [Top Position boss] Bob Arum said that since Manny discovered belief, he  has never seen Manny so clean, so relaxed in his exercising. It's like he's launched all the stress.

Timothy Bradley Challenges Manny Pacquiao in the Ring!

Another unbeaten martial specialist has challenged Manny Pacquiao to fight with him in the welterweight division and that is none other than Timothy Bradley.

So what do you think when Bradley get a chance at Pacquiao? This could be Pacquiao’s most challenging fight in his record. It’s been a while since he’s struggled a martial specialist under 30 and is fantastic of their craft. Bradley is a fantastic martial specialist, he’s trying to reach in with his aggressive style.

Bradley doesn't seem to have knock-out power in his hands, importance that the only way to beat Manny Pacquiao would be by aspects. The potential period between the two men would likely be at 140 bodyweight. If Bradley locations a fight with Khan and advantages, that would be enough to produce a taken at Manny Pacquiao.

The 28-year-old Bradley could, indeed, be a 2012 competition for Manny Pacquiao, as Manny (like Floyd Mayweather Jr) is beginning to run low on potential oppositions.

I realize that the announcement above is obvious to most kickboxing fans, and that s exactly why many fans think that Pacquiao vs Bradley would be a very exciting fight. Now that Timothy Bradley has finally known as out Manny Pacquiao do you think this would be a fantastic go with up knowing that the fight against Mayweather is not going to happen?
