Don't like seeing dudes rewarded for being cowards and turning down fights they might lose.

Eh, I think you're being a little too hard on him. I felt the same way at first but come to think of it it was a smart business decision on Bradley's part. I really don't see Bradley as a coward because he's fought some legit competition. He made Alexander look like a joke even though everyone thought it was the best fight to be made at the time. He also beat Peterson, the same guy that went to war with Khan.

Anyway I predict that Timmy shocks the world tonight and wins via split decision.

I'm not sure it's "shocking" at this point. It seems like almost everyone now is picking Bradley.

I saw a little bit of the undercards:
Rigondeaux has earned his shot against the top fighters at 122-126, will probably have to wait for it though since he's freakin good. Donaire wasted no time throwing out excuses on his twitter.
Jones/Bailey was absolutely vomit inducing for 30 minutes. Bailey literally landed two meaningful punches, one was a knockdown and the other a knockout

That waiting/pacing is gonna take a toll on Bradley, it really will. You have adrenaline and other hormones that are going to tax the body after an hour+ of being aroused. It's ridiculous.

Anyways, I gotta go to bed. This isn't gonna be over til 1:00 EST at this pace.
Hi love, bye love, I will miss my love.

Commentators are talking about Pac landing big lefts, but they haven't mentioned that Bradley got a few in too

Pacquaio's left is just too deadly.

His strength is just at another level compared to Bradley's. Bradley is not polished enough yet.

HBO guys keep talking about Manny's power shots but Bradley's face doesn't look too bad at the moment. I think they're overstating some of Manny's blows, though he has dominated the fight in every aspect.
