This is very hard for me to pick because it’s a 50/50 fight to me. Manny Pacquiao has the superior power, a granite chin and tons of experience. I feel Pacquiao won the first fight. However, for this prediction, I am picking Timothy Bradley to win via 12-Round unanimous decision or split decision. I think since the first fight Bradley has been on the incline, learned a lot and evolved. Pacquiao has always struggled with the thinking type of pure boxers. If you are a stationary target and you try to go heads up with Pacquiao you will get destroyed. I think Bradley brings a lot of animosity for how his first “win” was received by the public, so I think he will box a smart fight like he did with Juan Manuel Marquez. It’s a very close fight and I’m anxious to see if Pacquiao tries to overwhelm him early with his power, angles and combos, which spells trouble for Bradley. Or if Bradley chooses to try to bang it out like he did with Ruslan Provodnikov, he will get stopped. Other than that I look forward to a competitive fight with Bradley weathering an early storm, using movement with 2 good feet, making Pacquiao miss and frustrating him. We shall see.
Prediction: Bradley
