Pressure

Intelligently pressuring Manny Pacquiao, not only directionally moving him backwards, but maintaining him at lower punch numbers per round, while never abandoning technical boxing and prudent counterpunching, would not only allow Timothy Bradley to maintain control but also dictate pace.
By keeping Pacquiao off rhythm and off balance, Bradley could make this fight his own.
Bradley should look to consistently maintain forward progression and put Pacquiao in positions where he feels he needs to punch himself out of, effectively setting up counterpunching.
