Manny Pacquiao and Bradley both come into this fight needing wins but im going with the Pac Man and here is why
1. Previous fight- Less then 2 years back Manny beat Timothy Bradley in every ones eyes but 2 judges and well Bradley. Yes Pacquiao might be slowing down a bit but I don't think a lot has changed for him since the last fight. He is certainly not the same fighter he was in his prime but he beat Bradley once why cant he do it again?
2. Pacquiao needs it more- The case can be made that both really need this fight. Bradley needs it to confirm his status as an elite fighter and show every one that he is the better fighter. Although a loss will greatly hurt his career his career still continues. For Pacquiao it may not be the same. A loss could possibly end Pacquiaos career and I don't think this is the way he will go out.
3. Pacquio is Just the better fighter- don't get me wrong I respect Bradley and I think he is a great Fighter but I don't think it is his time yet. There will be a time where Bradley will dominate the 147 division and that is in a few years when Mayweather and Pacquio both leave. For now though i think the 35 year old Pacquiao has the better skills to defeat Bradley
My Prediction: Pacquiao wins by decision.
My betting plays: Pacquiao Moneyline $220 to win $100. Over 11.5 rounds $130 to win $100 ( If Bradley wins it will be by decision so the over on the rounds I think this is a good play no matter why have.
