Pacquiao vs Bradley Fight -- RingTV.com sought the opinions of knowledgeable insiders as to what will transpire on Saturday night.
Steve Carp, Las Vegas Review Journal
Manny Pacquiao TKO 10 Tim Bradley: I think that Manny Pacquiao knows that he has to redeem himself after his performance against Juan Manuel Marquez, and, to a lesser extent, for his performance against Shane Mosley.
Abac Cordero, Philippine Star
Manny Pacquiao KO 6 Tim Bradley: Just listening to Tim Bradley, I think that he's got Manny Pacquiao all figured out. But it's the same thing with Manny, you know, he's got Tim Bradley all figured out.
Gareth Davies, The Telegraph
Manny Pacquiao W 12 Tim Bradley: Timothy Bradley has been coolness personified leading up to this fight. Right time, right place, right person - he says - to dethrone the Filipino idol.
Norm Frauenheim, www.15rounds.com
Manny Pacquiao UD 12 Tim Bradley: If the Filipino Congressman sheds the distractions, retains the speed and regains a sense of urgency, he figures to win a difficult fight and maybe one close enough to warrant a rematch.
Nick Gionco, Manila Bulletin
Manny Pacquiao KO 8 Tim Bradley: I think that Manny Pacquiao wins in the eighth round, if not, rounds five, six or seven. It's just that the style of Tim Bradley suits Manny Pacquiao just fine.
Ed Graney, Las Vegas Review Journal
Manny Pacquiao TKO 8 Tim Bradley: I think that Manny Pacquiao gets him in a TKO in the eighth round. I think that Pacquiao is obviously more focused this time than we saw him against Juan Manuel Marquez.
Lee Groves, RingTV.com
Manny Pacquiao W 12 Tim Bradley: This should be a good fight because Manny Pacquiao hasn't looked his best in his last two outings and Tim Bradley is a young, highly motivated, strong-minded competitor.
Robert Guerrero, five-belt, three-division titlewinner
Manny Pacquiao KO 10 Tim Bradley: Timothy Bradley has a tremendous amount of heart and will die in the ring. Manny Pacquiao, on the other hand, is the same way, but has more punching power.
Keith Idec, The Record/BoxingScene.com
Manny Pacquiao late-round TKO Tim Bradley: Even if Manny Pacquiao suffers a consequential cut from one of Tim Bradley's inevitable head-butts, his power and speed should be too much for the unbeaten Bradley.
Kevin Iole, Yahoo!Sports
Manny Pacquiao UD 12 Tim Bradley: Manny Pacquiao had his troubles against Juan Manuel Marquez, but he always has trouble against Marquez. When was the last time Pacquiao looked bad against someone other than Juan Manuel Marquez?
Paulie Malignaggi, WBA welterweight titleholder, former IBF junior welterweight beltholder
Manny Pacquiao UD 12 Tim Bradley: I got Manny Paquiao in this fight. Tim Bradley seems super-motivated, and its difficult to pick against him cause he always rises to the occasion.
Jack Obermayer, Fight Fax Inc.
Manny Pacquiao UD 12 Tim Bradley: At first, I thought that Tim Bradley could pull the upset as Manny might be ripe for the taking. However on reflection, I feel that Bradley has no real edge in any department.
Chris Robinson, The Examiner.com/BoxingScene.com
Manny Pacquiao W 12 Tim Bradley: I am curious as to whether Manny Pacquiao's lackluster 2011 was because of the way his style matched up with Juan Manuel Marquez and Mosley or whether he has started to slip at age 33.
Cliff Rold, BoxingScene.com
Manny Pacquiao W 12 Tim Bradley: This should be a fantastic fight. If it ends up the Fight of the Year, it would be no surprise here. Both men are aggressive in different ways and bring speed both ways. Both have something to prove, Tim Bradley being at the big dance for the first time and Manny Pacquiao returning from two lesser outings.
Michael Rosenthal, Editor of THE RING
Manny Pacquiao KO 9 Tim Bradley: I think this fight is about Manny Pacquiao. If he has slipped even to a small degree, Tim Bradley has the ability to topple boxing's biggest international star.
Joseph Santoliquito/Ring Magazine/RingTV.com/CBS Sports
Manny Pacquiao W 12 Tim Bradley: I see this is as a great fight, because you have two guys that aren't afraid of risk. Tim Bradley will engage Pac-Man, and he'll keep coming forward since Desert Storm has nothing to lose and everything to gain.
