Top trainer picks Pacquiao to win impressively against Bradley
February 14th, 2012
By John F. McKenna (McJack): Many boxing fans and pundits are picking WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (28-0-1 NC, 12 KO’s) to pull off what would be a huge upset against World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 KO’s) when they clash at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas on June 9.
Last November Manny put in perhaps his worst performance in the last ten years when he won a highly controversial decision over WBO/WBA lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez. Most boxing fans though that Marquez was the winner in that fight.
Trainer James Grogue has offered his expert analysis on the Pacquiao – Bradley matchup. He was quoted by FIGHT SAGA saying the following:
“This is going to be a great clash because Timoty Bradley is the epitome of a fighter. He is a very dedicated, disciplined, and hard working fighter who uses intelligence in the ring to adapt and overcome whatever adversity he’s faced with.”
Grogue refers to the matchup as arguably the best 140 pound fighter in the world fighting against arguably the best pound for pound fighter in the world. He went on to say that against fighters who are less tenacious than Pacquiao, Bradley went right at them. Grogue warned that if Bradley does that against the “Pacman” he will suffer the same fate that Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito did when they faced Manny.
Grogue concedes that Bradley boxed very effectively against Lamont Peterson but was quick to point out that Peterson is not in the same league with Pacquiao.

Does anybody care about this fight ? Bradley is a boring fighter. This is what we get for ppv? Boxing is taking a real dump!!! Would rather see some mma UFC action. P.s Pacquiao lost to Marquez on the last fight…this fight should be a free fight on sho or hbo won’t get my money anymore .. Boxing just lost another long time fan..
At least this guy has the b@lls to face Manny unlike Floydie. If I were in a bar and Floyd starts to irritate, I’d probably shove my foot up his hole. If it was Manny, I’d drink my beer and just call it a night.
what do we seriously know about bradley
well hes a butt n huger fighter
manny is not a holder and will throw
counter punches in bunches to prevent
bradley getting any close enough to butt n hug
Are Pacquiao and Bradley having drug tests before or immediately after this bout?

i think it can go either way bradley isn’t a easy touch
Pacquiao and Arum are the biggest cons in boxing. Best 140lbs vs the best P4P my eye. Give me a break. This fight is just another in-house Top Rank fixed fight.
