right people while we wait the binnie breakdown ...
been checking on the odds for the pac bradley fight ... the odds are HEAVY in pac's favour ...

My take and were am placing the money is on Pac mid to late stoppage 6/4 odds
...But i rate bradley and he will come to fight and this could be a bit of a tear up and a much better fight than the odds predict

[sonrisa salvaje]

Bradley is certainly what i would call a live dog. The odds would indicate that he has no chance but i would lobby that he has a better chance than what the odds are giving him, thus you are getting more for your money by taking Bradley......but he still has to win for that to be realized.

I'd like to see Bradley give Pac a run for his money at least - hope it's not a rout - but like I said, not sure I want him to win and mess up the Mayweather fight (that still needs to happen)...

[gbranton]

I just can't envision a scenario in which Bradley wins. I am pretty much resigned to the fact that Paquiao and Mayweather are never going to fight OR if they do it will be like ALL of the "mega" fights over the past twenty years, it will take place a couple (or more) years past when it should have and will ultimately be unsatisfying, leaving a stack of "what ifs" in it's wake.

Bradley may come to fight but he will be taking the hardest punches of his career,probably many of them.Junior welterweight Kendall Holt dropped Bradley twice,And Holt is no Pacquiao.Whether Bradley can take Pacquiao's punch will be something to see.Bradley's last serious fight was some time ago,over a year anyway.Manny's last real fight was against Juan Manuel Marquez last November,winning by an arguable decision.Pacquiao has something to prove in this one.He also has the advantage in speed,power,technique and experience.

These all taken into account,It looks like Manny has this one in the bag

My co-worker who does MMA is predicting a replay of the Pacquiao-Hatton fight...says he'll be shocked if Bradley lasts 2 rounds...

[vandeleur]

2 rounds, man thats harsh

[sonrisa salvaje]

I would love to know what the over and under is on the rounds this one will last. I would put the house on the over. Bradley fights up or down depending on his competition. I know the guy is going up in weight and he has been knocked down before but the guy is still an undefeated world champion in his division for a reason. He is not going to get overwhelmed by Pac Man. Could he lose a Unanimous Decision? Yes and probably will. I would be shocked if he was stopped.

Also bears mentioning that my friend is a HUGE Pacman fan, so he's slightly biased... I'd like to see Bradley give him some trouble at least!

Margarito retired today. That makes 3 in the last week including Shane and Winky.

I guess we need to start making our official picks. We need to get the current odds from our resident cyber money taker.

Once he was caught with the illegal hand wraps he should have never been allowed to step foot in the ring again anywhere on the planet. AND he should have been brought up on criminal charges. He and his trainer are fucking lowlife criminals. I hope to fuck he gets run over by a truck.

[Dave's Bitch]

I am not going to count Margarito retiring.He should have been flat out banned for the hand wrap shit.Only two greats retired this week

I had Froch too...but by decision. I guess i didn't get any extra or did i lose my dollar there because i didn't call Froch by KO?
