After almost two years of fans asking for it the Timothy Bradley-Manny Pacquiao rematch is finally going down April 12 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nev. and Bradley will be out to win respect from those who doubted his last win over the Pac-man.
Despite going 2-0 since the last time he faced Manny Pacquiao in June of 2012 and winning those fights in convincing fashion, Bradley (31-0, 12 KOs) still can’t get passed media and fans asking when him and Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38 KOs) would meet again.
With all the bashing he has taken since his controversial win over Pacquiao, Timmy has some extra motivation to beat Pacman decisively this time around.
Bradley is right, if he is able to knockout Pacquiao he would have a slew of fans that once doubted him now backing him up, but the possibility of a KO here is low. Bradley has only won by early stoppage twice in his last 15 fights, a span that covers seven years.
So with the likelihood of a KO not great, Bradley will have to pick apart Pacquiao like he did against Juan Manuel Marquez in October.
One could hope that whether Bradley or Pacquiao wins that it is a clear-cut decision or else we might never hear the end of the Pacquiao-Bradley judging saga.
