By Chris Williams: Timothy Bradley (28-0, 12 KO’s) is expecting WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao to try for a quick knockout earlier in their fight on June 9th in Las Vegas. Bradley says he’s going to be ready for Pacquiao when he does attempt to take him out of there and is going to try and land something big to change the direction of the fight.

Bradley said to the Examiner.com Granville Ampong “I am expecting Pacquiao to try to take me out in the early rounds. I am looking forward to deliver a punch that will change the complexity of the fight in the early rounds.”

I have to agree with Bradley in his astute analysis of Pacquiao in the way he fights. Pacquiao ALWAYS tries to get a stoppage in the early parts of his fights. I don’t know why he does this, because it makes him so utterly predictable, but it’s going to hurt him in this fight.

Bradley is going to be waiting for Pacquiao to over extend himself with one of his shots or leave an opening when he goes to throw his flurries. Bradley will then land a big punch that could have Pacquiao wobbling around on his feet like he was against Juan Manuel Marquez in 2008. Bradley also could land one of his huge body punches that might take Pacquiao out.

Antonio Margarito almost had Pacquiao down in the 6th round in their fight in 2010. If not for Margarito being so painfully slow, he might have been able to finish Pacquiao off after hurting him with a nice right to the midsection.
