Bradley to study Marquez-Pacquiao III fight, and use Marquez’s tactics to beat Manny
February 14th, 2012
By Chris Williams: Timothy Bradley (28-0, 12 KO’s) says he plans on studying the third fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez to use some of the things that worked for Marquez in that fight when Bradley faces Pacquiao on June 9th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Bradley doesn’t necessarily need to copy the things that Marquez used to dominate Pacquiao, because he’s so beatable at this point now that his legs are pretty much gone. He can’t move that well and mostly shuffles around the ring looking to throw his combinations. What Marquez did was counter Pacquiao each time he’d throw anything. This led to Pacquiao not punching as much, and his trainer Freddie Roach has no answers for him to solve Marquez’s style, just like Roach didn’t the previous time they fought in 2008 and the time before that in 2004. Roach seems to come up empty when Pacquiao can’t overpower guys.
Bradley says he wants to brawl and box, and he plans on keeping Pacquiao guessing. Bradley doesn’t see Pacquiao as a huge puncher and notes that he mainly gets his knockouts by overwhelming his mostly aging opposition with a lot of shots. Bradley sees it as the third or fourth shot that get’s Pacquiao’s opposition in trouble when they don’t see the shot coming. Bradley sees the fight coming down to whether Pacquiao can hurt him or not. If he doesn’t hurt him, then Bradley sees Pacquiao finding himself in a very tough fight. I agree. Pacquiao is going to get bloodied and battered unless he’s able to score a stoppage against Bradley. This is like Pacquiao facing a young Erik Morales but at the wrong point in Pacquiao’s career now that his legs are gone.

bradley wil ko pac man big time,tim is the man for the job ,call him pac man killer ya yaaa.
@Anonymous. i don’t know about you buddy but i pay $50 to see both fighters fight not one. Boxing is about heart willing to win not counter and trying to stay alive. F Pacman F Marquez F Mayweather i’m a boxing fan bro.
excited to see this fight!
Can anyone tell me ard you allowed more than one post??
The small, yet extremely strong Bradley, may not have the same skill level as Marquez but he’s dam close; however, he is bigger and stronger than Marquez. Bradley won’t be overwhemed by Pacquiao’s pressure because what ever pressure he brings it will be less than that of a Lamont Peterson. Plus, Bradley is young and well conditioned and won’t fade. The beauty of of this fight is that Bradley knows that Pacquiao can’t fight off the back foot and therefore will attack him. Stop with the early excuses. Bradley doesn’t lead with his head, however, Pacquiao does, but unlike other fighters that Pacquiao faced, Bradley will stay stay put and not lean back to avoid a head butt, that in itself is a game changer. Without the cheating, Bradley will win handsdown.
well at least bradley is going to use his head lol his head.
Marguez used his hands…not his head…so Bradley won’t pick up anything watching the MarguezvsManny III…because Marquez didn’t use his head to hit Manny…Bradley should view the fight with him vs Devon whare he beat down Devon with clashes of headbutts and the Cambell fight where he beat Cambell with a head Butt then it got over turned.
…this article is just trying to comfort bradley,the haters and chris frustration. they are trying to convince people that they can destroy pacman…in any way they can. come forward bradley style is just what the pacman wants.
come fight night. all haters will cry.
Pactards are so funny… Clueless about boxing.
Bradley can’t use Marquez tactics because he is no where near as skilled as him.
This fight is ending in a headbutt.
I don’t get Mr Williams first he says this fight is a terrable fight and that Bradley is another easy mis match for Pacquiao and then he said that Bradley is going to leave him bloody.You make no sense.WATCH MARK MY WoRDS! If Pacquiao wins the fight Williams is going to downsize Bradley as being a weak fighter or none talented fighter.
@Mich
You accuse us of not knowing boxing and the utter rubbish you just wrote proves you are the one that doesn’t.
You don’t understand counter punchers we get it. You can always tell a pactard because they think boxing is always about attacking.
The problem is that Bradley hits like a girl. This guy couldn’t punch his way out of paper bag. He couldn’t even put a hurting on a over the hill washed up Casamayora. Who in their right mind is going to PPV this fight. Hello!!!!
The foot-stomping trick was fairly effective. And theirs also the cry baby whinny thing that could land a potential rematch.
Marquez beat Pacman 3 times. Unfortunately boxing is corrupt and on paper he only has a draw.
Marquez was able to do what he did bcuz thats the kind of fighter he has always been. It takes yrs. of training to get instincts like that. Bradley is a different kind of fighter so i dont think he understands that u can train like that but when u get in the ring its different when both guys r going all out.
Pacman is a good, clean fighter. he is fair, he doesn’t play dirty tactics…. that’s why after the fight he always win. because God reward his goodness. Even if the other fighter deserves the win, because Pacman is a good man the win is his…. hehehe
Bradley should demand A DRUG TEST that manny would never take. he better be ready for GRade A Roids on fightnight
To Gonz. What skills? Not fighting? The footsie? The yellow water he drink? Wait the skills of crying. Its was a robbery. Fight 1 n fight 2 he cry its a robbery. His brother lost months ago he cry it was a robbery. He lost to john Paul he cry robbery. Take it like a man n except defeat. I’m a Mexican n he’s making us look bad.
@mitch: you nailed them on there butt h(oles)! mate!! hahaha
All u fans that think Marquez won must have no brains n don’t know anything about boxing. If sugar Shane n Marquez actually was fighting instead of running n being on the defence it would of been a different turn out. That’s how scary pacman is. He makes other fighter don’t want to fight. Say what u want it take two fighter to make a fight not one!
ah hahahahahaha..hahaha.ha..so many experts in here! and yet all of them are pretty girl floyd fans!! ah hahahaha
he is smart to look at how JMM mastered such great boxing against pacman. Manny and trainer had no answers to JMM skills. Yes JMM won the fight beyond doubt!
stop wondering…better see a doctor.
I WONDER WHAT ROUND DID MR BOB TELL BRADLEY TO GO DOWN IN. MY GUESS IS THE 10th
no need to fight the judges…show them that you fight for the crown…and not as if you defend something that you don’t have or own . LOL
JMM wasn’t told he had to fight the judges too..
thats all he has to do,copy marquez beautiful counters,his good skills and manny is clueless as what to do when faced with a skilled boxer…but put him in with over aged trash and he shines
if you want to win the crown…YOU HAVE TO FIGHT TOOTH AND NAIL…TO GET IT.
Manny Pacquiao is the weakest of the top 5 Welter Weights.
Anybody and everybody in the top 5 would absolutely “CRUSH” Pacquiao. Little Timothy Bradley, a Jr. Welter may do it as well.
He won the Belt and Crown. The Arum Judges stepped in.
Whew! You owe us big time bobby!
The Judges
IF MARQUEZ WANTED THE CROWN…he should have fought for it…to get it.
but all he did was defend, defend, defend…as if he was the one wearing the crown. HA HA HA
Pacquiao stepped on Marquez’ feet all night…It didn’t work. JMM still won that fight. Arum’s judges saved the day!
I HOPE THAT BRADLEY ASK MANNY TO BE DRUG TESTED. MANNY WILL NOT SIGN THE CONTRACT FOR SURE. BRADLEY STATED A WHILE BACK THAT HE THOUGHT MANNY COULD B ON DRUGS
Sorry George, Manny Pacquiao lost that fight with JMM…
Manny Pacquiao couldn’t beat any of the top 5 in the WW division.
Can’t you see that he wants to be an Alter Boy now?
There is noone left to drain!
marquez went to the ring to thwart pacman’s attacks…or step on pacman’s toes all night long.
he did not come to fight pacman to win the crown…he went there to defend himself and survive.
MARQUEZ deserved what he got: A LOSS
Marquiz is a good boxer. But no wonder manny is the best.
and its very clear that he won their last fight… theres a clear shots from
Marquiz but manny landed more punches an he was the aggressive one.
While marquiz was waiting rather to be aggrrisive bcuz
He was the challenger. Its also clear that marquiz is using his feet to step on manny’s toes for him to hit pacquiao.. bradly ur the next..

Arums judges will save the day….
Whew!!!
Watch JMM-Pac III? Oh, Bradley wants to learn how to be robbed. LoL.
good hope it works.like manny but its time he retires,he’ll never beat punk mayweather
Studying Marquez/Pacquiao III won’t help Bradley. Marquez won the fight but the judges gave Pacquiao a gift decision. If Bradley wants to win he will need to pay-off the judges like Pacquiao and Arum did.
marquez and bradley’s tactics are poles apart…but both are dirty fighters…uses foul tactics.
bradley is north…literally uses his head to beat his opponents.
marquez is south…his feet steps on opponents toes to trap them.
