    Pacquiao vs. Bradley

    Thinking Bradley presents some problems for Pacquiao, but he needs a stoppage to win, and he doesn't have the pop to finish Pacquiao. He will need to thoroughly dominate every round to win a decision, because we know every semi competitive round is going to Manny.

    I'll be playing the "Fight ends with decision of any type" prop @ -185. Also going to be on the under 7.5 rounds in Rigondeaux/Kennedy @ +150, and over 6.5 rounds in Arce/Rojas @ -105.

    Like Mike Jones over Bailey, but don't see anything worth playing there.

    Almost always. But not for this fight. I tried to watch them all last night, but found myself not paying attention. Pacquiao is a hell of a guy to watch inside the ring, but all his "I'm just happy I found god" shit is enough to bore me to tears outside of it.

    I got the feeling that this has made him more focused on the fight. Almost like it gave him a little spark. Ehh, just something I got from watching the series. I do agree the bible stuff was boring tho. Watching his entourage try to adjust to the "new" Manny was somewhat entertaining. You know some of them are thinking "fuck this".

    Yeah, lol. I like how we're all supposed to be giving Manny this huge amount of respect because he stopped drinking, gambling, and CHEATING ON HIS WIFE. Shit's funny to me.

    They were talking about it after the weigh in. Talking about how it may have made him a nicer guy, and possibly made him lose his killer instinct. Of course, Freddy Roach says that this has been his best training camp ever, and that Bradley won't win a single round. But Roach also said that in the Marquez camp, if I remember correctly. Until after Marquez took it to him, then they had a hundred excuses. Who knows, lol.

    JMM I was watching a preview video for this fight, never heard of Manny's opponent so I wanted to get the lowdown. They actually spent a good amount of time highlighting how effective his headbutts are.... wassup wit dat?

    He's a pretty wreckless fighter. I don't think he uses his head as an intentional weapon. I think it just comes with his style of fighting. He rushes in (wild at times), and leads with his head. Not really in a Bernard Hopkins type of way, where B-Hop will get you on the inside, and rough you up with his head, Bradley will just smack you with it on his way in. The way I've usually described it, is that he doesn't use his head AS his offense, it just sort of comes WITH his offense.

    It's also one of the reasons I like the "any decision" prop, because of the possibility of a technical decision if the fight stops due to a cut caused by an accidental headbutt after 4 rounds.

    Also, between Bradley's head, the Southpaw/Orthodox style clash, and the fact that both tend to get a bit careless and off balance at times, I think we're SURE to see a couple of clashes of heads tonight.

    Tim Bradley is confident and cocky but Manny Pacquiao should defeat him handily.

    If Bradley tries to mimic Juan Manuel Márquez's counter punching style, he might last a while. If he engages Pac Man, I see Manny knocking him out.

    So far so good. Rigondeaux/Kennedy went under. Very good.

    Main Event will start immediately after Boston/Miami NBA Playoff game. Take that to the bank.

    ESPN annoucner said Pacquio wont come out of the locker until the Celtics game is over. LOL. Makes sense with all the PPV ads every other commercial.
