Manny Pacquiao has already lost his killer instinct after moving up to the the Welterweight division. But, we can’t discard his speed and ability to throw volumes of punches to his opponents. He will surely have the speed advantage especially that he’s climbing up the ring lighter than Bradley.<br /><br />As we all know, boxing is not just all about knocking your rival and putting him into a deep sleep. At the end of the the day, judges will still look for the fighter who throws and connects solid punches. Tim Bradley on the other hand is not a knockout artist by nature. He’s more of a tactical boxer than a heavey hitter. He is also know for his stone-walled defense. So, they will both last for 12 rounds and will depend on the judges score cards.<br /><br />There’s no way there will be a KO tomorrow even a knockdown. But, this will not be as boring as Pac – May fight. Since this serves as Pacman’s farewell bout, experts think that the gods of boxing will heavily favor the Filipino pugilist and will go home as the winner of the grudge match. But in one way or another, the title which will Pacquiao most likely win will be immediately vacated as he is vying for a senatorial seat and declared to focus more on politics and his bigger roles once elected as a senator. </div>

GMA was also largely ahead in the afternoon block with 46.4 percent, up 18.2 points from ABS-CBN’s 28.2 percent and up 39.3 points from TV5’s 7.1 percent.<br /><br />Leading across all dayparts, GMA also kept its stronghold in viewer-rich Urban Luzon and Mega Manila, which represent 77 percent and 59 percent, respectively, of all urban TV households in the country.<br />In Urban Luzon,  GMA recorded 44.1 percent, leading ABS-CBN’s 29 percent by 15.1 points and TV5’s 7.3 percent by 36.8 points; while in Mega Manila, GMA ruled with 46.3 percent, ahead of ABS-CBN’s 25.5 percent by 20.8 points and TV5’s 7.6 percent by 38.7 points.<br /><br />The Kapuso Network also asserted its dominance in the list of top-rating programs in NUTAM with 18 out of the 30 top programs belonging to GMA based on Nielsen data.
