Besides having his defense on point, Tim Bradley needs to use his angles. By that I mean he needs to throw combinations and think of getting to the left or right immediately after.
One of Manny Pacquiao‘s strengths is being able to counterpunch quickly or at least throw punches immediately after his opponent.
Using angles will provide Bradley with a way to escape Pacquiao’s counter attacks while still staying in the pocket.
It’s important that Bradley appear present at all times in this fight, as to not give Pacquiao any added confidence.
Bradley can also thinking about using angles while throwing rapid punches, like the back-to-back hooks he landed on Brandon Rios.
