The first episode is out.

Like always, they're trying to hype up the fight by showing the under dog in a more positive light but this time I believe Bradley has a chance. He has a better chance at beating Pac than Cotto had beating Floyd for sure. Bradley is a younger, stronger, undefeated fighter with fast hands and power. Dude also works incredibly hard and seems grounded. This may be a test for Pac.

That being said, I can't get past that fact that Bradley got knocked down by Holt. He also doesn't seem to use angles as well as Pacquiao.

Can't wait for this.

It's hard to say, but judging by the video and seeing manny more focused, has found the lord, no more gambling, no more drinking, no more girls etc
that is a huge weight lifted from his ego and condition.

but there is a 5 year age difference, and the past 5 years has been hard on manny , so I hope the past 6 months of his new lifestyle will be enough to energize him for the fight because if he enters the ring with the baggage from his wife, stress, old friends, boozing days etc. it will drag him down. he needs to have a clear head.
he can't go into this fight thinking he will just out box bradley with experience and win rounds.
bradley is hungry, younger, probably fitter, and doesn't seem to be a guy who abuses his body and mind with distractions like drugs, tobacco, drinking and girls.
regarding the skills of bradley well he does hit hard, but I think like the Mayweather fight I think it will go the distant and manny will win on points
as he is more faster and has that extra experience to win rounds.
unanimous decision to manny.

why Bradley didn't fight mayweather first is beyond me,

If anything I think the whole religion thing might be an excuse. To me that's all it sounds like. Marriage problems, training issues, etc, they're just excuses. Marquez is just that freaking good.

I think Bradley could be the guy to beat Pacquiao but then again, it is Pacquiao. I went back and saw some of Bradley's fights and he has a tendency to square up when throwing combinations. As I believe Pacquiao is the most effective when throwing with his opponents, I think this could lead to Tim being socked right in the jaw.

It'll be interesting to see what kind of game plan Manny will use against an aggressive head first guy like Tim. We might see some good counter punching from Manny.

Not sure what you mean by that. Mayweather isn't the easiest guy to make a fight with. I'm surprised Arum even made this fight.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Bradley takes Pac man out, assuming no funny business with referees, judges or what have you.

This guy's a bit different from Pacquiao's other recent opponents- he's just entering his prime, he's hungry as all hell, and he's a three time world champ.

Obviously Pac's still someone to contend with, but let's face it he's on the other side of his prime, and wasn't very impressive in his last outing.

When I look into both of these fighters' eyes, Bradley just seems to have more single-minded purpose/mission, with the physical assets and reflexes of a much younger man.

How about Bradley's vegan training diet regimen? ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3x99v9vIn4

I've actually considered going vegan or at least vegetarian for a while after I heard Tim talking about how good he feels mentally and physically. I might look into it when training for my next fight.

Here's episode 2

Lol at Pacquiao's "spiritual advisor."

this is why i no longer watch HBO boxing.

ANOTHER fight no-one wants to see. And the conclusion is so obvious.

I like this Bradley kid. He got some decent hand speed and power. And his endurance looks good as well.

But its nothing compared to Pac. His hand speed, power and combinations will overwhelm Bradley.

Pac by unanimous decision.

New episode it out! Honestly I think 24/7 is played out now. Not as interesting as it used to be. The beef between Roach and Ariza seems like fabricated drama to make for more interesting TV. Don't care at all.

Actually it's not, and plenty of people want to see this, including myself. I can't say for sure who will win but you are really underestimating Tim if you think it's guaranteed he'll lose. Not to mention other than Mayweather, there aren't many opponents for Pacquiao. Who wants to see a Marquez fight for the fourth time? Canelo isn't ready. Kahn needs to answer some question with his rematch with Peterson. Ortiz? Berto? Please. Why not a young undefeated 3 time world champion? If Bradley can shake off a perfect left hook from Holt, then I think he can take Pacquiao's power.

is roach retarded? or did he get a hook to the head?

anyway, the mayweather Pacman fight will happen, because it would be stupid for both of them not to get paid, they both love money to much to let this pass up. and there will be a rematch to make the same money again.
I bet you it will happen next year.

bradley" you got to prove to me" prove to me you better than me'!!!
hahahahaahaha dude.. manny's record is proof enough.

He may not be, but he looks like he's getting there-

Last episode is out. The weigh ins are done. Bradley looks jacked and Pacquiao actually looks soft in comparison, which is crazy considering how jacked Pac is.

I remember the Mayweather Cotto fight starting around 12pm. So I guess around then depending on how fast the undercard ends

From all reports I've heard from boxing analysts, it was one of the worst decisions ever. Teddy Atlas thinks it's either the result of corruption or incompetence - and seems to lean toward the former because of Bob Arum's reportedly losing promotion rights to Pacqaio's fights. Dan Raphael scored it eleven rounds to one in favor of Manny, while two of the official judges "saw" Bradley winning seven rounds.
