Manny Pacquiao aims for the big win in his farewell fight
Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38 KO) and Bradley (33-3-1, 13 KO) having previously fought in 2012 and 2014, splitting the fights, though most feel Pacquiao deserved to win both, and clearly so.
Based on both fighters’ performance in their previous encounters, this tie-breaker match will definitely go to the distance. Manny Pacquiao has already lost his killer instinct after moving up to the the Welterweight division. But, we can’t discard his speed and ability to throw volumes of punches to his opponents. He will surely have the speed advantage especially that he’s climbing up the ring lighter than Bradley.
As we all know, boxing is not just all about knocking your rival and putting him into a deep sleep. At the end of the the day, judges will still look for the fighter who throws and connects solid punches. Tim Bradley on the other hand is not a knockout artist by nature. He’s more of a tactical boxer than a heavey hitter. He is also know for his stone-walled defense. So, they will both last for 12 rounds and will depend on the judges score cards.
There’s no way there will be a KO tomorrow even a knockdown. But, this will not be as boring as Pac – May fight. Since this serves as Pacman’s farewell bout, experts think that the gods of boxing will heavily favor the Filipino pugilist and will go home as the winner of the grudge match. But in one way or another, the title which will Pacquiao most likely win will be immediately vacated as he is vying for a senatorial seat and declared to focus more on politics and his bigger roles once elected as a senator.
Dubbed as “PacBrad III,” both fighters will look forward to get the vacant WBO International Welterweight title on the line.
