Huge prize fights are bigger business than ever in the world today, and the US as we all know goes crazy for a good competitive sport. Two boxing heroes in Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley took to the ring in 2012 in what was a famous fight, going the 12 round distance before a very controversial decision was made in favour of Bradley. This left a score to settle, and this year, for the first time since 2012, Filipino legend Pacquiao is back fighting on US turf to try and work out once and for all which of these fighters deserves the accolades.
Bradley has kept his scorecard clean in metaphorical terms, and is yet to lose a pro fight (though many would argue the first bout between these two should’ve seen him defeated). With an impressive 31-0 record with 12 knockouts. He has a longer reach than Manny does, but may struggle against the southpaw.
The fight is sure to be a classic, and one full of emotion and feeling from the first time these two met back in 2012. It will take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Vegas and tickets for Pacquiao vs Bradley are still available, but wont be for long as these two titans prepare to fight on Saturday 12th April in the Vegas heat. We will be counting down the days.
Our prediction here? We think that Bradley (a 7/2 underdog in the first fight) will really struggle to defend his record, and Pacquiao will be back to his best in a big way!
